Tips For Getting Rid of The White Coating on Your Tongue
Apr 25th, 2008 by Raylen
Today a reader wrote in asking about getting rid of the white coating on your tongue…
All my life I have had bad breath, a white coating on my tongue and a dry, terrible taste in my mouth. I am doing the master cleanse right now, in day 5 and I still have the heavy white tongue coating and a bad taste in my mouth. Will that go away with the 10day master cleanse. I go to the dentist often and do the Neti pod sinus irrigation so I can narrow down the reason for the bad breath. I thought that this might help my problem Please advise!
I’ve dealt personally with the “white tongue” myself so I know where you’re coming from, and I think I can help.
First off, yes, the Master Cleanse has been proven (by the people who use it) to get rid of the white coating on your tongue. The first few days on the cleanse you’ll be purging your body of the easy-to-get-at waste, like the fecal matter in your colon. After that’s out the way it will go to work on the more deep rooted pockets of waste that have built up in your body over the years.
It’s these later days in the cleanse that most people start to see their tongue restored to a nice healthy pink color.
Here’s some more tips for getting rid of the white coating on your tongue:
- Drink green tea: Green tea will help eliminate the bacteria in your mouth
- Don’t use mouth wash: Over drying your mouth with alcohol based mouth wash will only make the problem worse
- Scrape your tongue: The master cleanse will get to the root of the problem, but in the mean time you can get rid of the existing coating with an inexpensive tongue scraper
- Oil pulling: This is one of my favorites, and it can do more then just get rid of the white coating on your tongue, it can actually help detox your entire body, and it’s easy to do. All you have to do is take cold pressed, organic sesame seed oil (non-toasted) and swish it around in your mouth for 15-20 minutes.
The results from oil pulling can be astonishing, but keep the following in mind…
Don’t gargle the oil. You want to swish it around your mouth and tongue and pull it through your teeth.
DO NOT SWALLOW THE OIL! It’s filled with bacteria.
When you’re done spit it out, and rinse your mouth out with water. For more on how to do oil pulling and the many benefits please see this website.
If you follow this advice you should see the white coating on your tongue vanish in a few weeks.

[...] I chew gum on the Master Cleanse? I have not because I did not think so, but this white tongue [...]
I am going to start a master detox in 3 days. Who has some advice for me. I need to lose 40 pounds. I don’t expect a detox to take care of my problem, but this is is a good place to start.
Hi, I just found out I had food allergies, you know, the ones on the side of the box that says,” made on machines with gluten ,milk and nuts” and I lost 30 punds and my bad breath went away, One in every 133 ARE “CELIACS” AS THEY CALL THEM, and I bet a lot of people don’t know that your food sensitiviteis increase with age.
I sometimes have food odors coming through my pores after eating. Sometimes if I don’t eat or eat spicy foods, I have that old folks smell. I only eat turkey breast,hicken breast (Baked), drink lots of water/juices. Yet,still these smells comre thru my pores if I don’t freshen up after eatting them.Is there something wrong with me? Is my health at risk? I drink a gallon of water a day. I try to eat at least 4-5 searvings of fruits/veggies daily. But still these smells. I never drank,smoked,or abused drugs. I have had doctors tell me I have no health issues,just a sensitive system. What do you think is wrong? I just turned 36,do I need a colonics, or do I just need to detox my whole body? Please help me. This trait does not go with my looks! Please help!!!
I recommend going to www.tungbrush.com
The TungBrush and TungGel have been the most effective tools I have seen yet in tongue cleansing. Definitely state of the art. I have seen it in stores like Rite Aid and WalMart. I would be curious to see what you think of it. I can’t go a day without it!
I’ve done a lot of fasting in the past along with using the colema boards. I’ve completed 7 and 10 day fasts and felt terrific! I tried doing the Master cleanse twice and found both times that I felt incredibly lethargic. I have a tendency to be hypoglecymic and wondered if this fast was not a good one for me because of the sugar in the maple syrup? The last time I tried the Master cleanse I even added spirulina and still had the same effect. Please advise. Thank u.
I finished 12th days of the master cleanser just last week. I lost 10pounds but i haven’t seen any improvement in my health, how long will it take before i see changes?
can i use organic molassas instead of maple syrup? when comparing the labels, the nutrition and caloric count is the same.
hi, I have a question, can I use this Master Cleanse again as I didn’t complite it. I did it for 8 days only, but now, a month later, I would like to do it for the whole 10 days. Isn’t it too soon? Thanks much.
I have done the master cleanser before about 8 years ago. During that time it was during the month of November here in the South. I finished a total of 15 days and losing a total of 35lbs. I recentlt have taken steriods for medical conditions and was informed that I would need to detox my body.I was wondering was it wise to do it in such extreme temps of 90 and up degrees. I was considering doing it closer to the fall but I want to start cleaning my body asap. PLEASE HELP!!!
I’d like to know the answers to the above questions. How do I find out?
White coating on tongue..hm..i don’t even remember not having this all the time…I’ve struggled with this for a few years and got no results….UNTIL NOW..tongue scrapers seem to work but in the morning the white coating gets worse. so ive surfed the internet and got to read about “oil pulling”.
i do it for a week now, first thing when i wake up..for about 10-15 minutes..then i softly clean my tongue with my toothbrush..this way my tongue is pink all the day..and i have no bad breath..
The bad thing is that in the morning..you still get that white coating..but after the oil pulling procedure everything’s okay. I am still considering to go to a doctor becuase there has to be some internal factor causing this “thing we all hate”. But until then i will continue doing this because it keeps me fresh. I also want to let you guys know..although it may seem different, my problem with white coating is not small at all..i had a very serious covering…and a terrible taste in my mouth after about 30 minutes since i’ve brushed my teeth. Now i don’t get that taste anymore and got no complaints about having bad breath.
I’ve prayed for a solution regarding this..so i feel more than happy to share it with anyone who relates with it.
God bless!

this much good information. i have taken 12 days off

Hi Laurna, I believe the answer to your dilemma is simple. I had the symptoms you have described, and found out my body was highly acidic. The good news is it’s easy to test! Get a roll of pH strips (Hydrion from 5.5 to 8.0 is what I use) and test your acid / alkaline level by peeing on the strip. Make sure you use ending of your stream, the part that comes out of your bladder last.
If your ph is lower than 7.4 (Balanced Ph for human beings) you may have too much acid in your system. You may want to check out “the Ph Miracle”, or other books on the subject. If you’re closer to 5.5 (each step is 10X the amount of acid) stop what you’re doing, and go buy the book now!
Hope this helps!
Hello, I want to start the master cleanse but am allergic to citrus fruits, like lemons, oranges, limes ect. What can I substitute the lemon for? Please get back to me since I want to start the cleanse on monday. Thank you…Tricia
Yeah I have completed the Master cleanse it is day 11 Orange Juice day. I lost 20.5 and I am so excited, I did the original cleanse but I also use smooth move and Psyllium husk capsules from the secondary ingredients. I must admit I kept a watermelon on my counter just in case I had a breakdown but did not have to use it. I used the cleanse as a personal challenge to myself to jump start my weight loss and cleanse my body. I kept repeating I control my body my body does not control me and the cleanse is so good for my body. I continued to go to the gym just the treadmill or elipical cycle and the sauna. I am so surprised at all the energy I have. This is the best thing I have done for myself in a very long time. I plan to continue loosing weight and I hope that my stomach capacity has shrunken dramatically. If any one has suggestions on eating plans please respond
thanks for your guide it was very informative and so very helpful.
So if you happen to fall week and need to nibble on something, IS watermelon okay? It is basically water right?
I’m really getting close to quitting, but I don’t want to.
What foods are ok to eat while on the Master Cleanse?
