A white tongue is a sign of toxins in the gastrointestinal tract. The only way to get rid of it completely is to remove the accumulated toxins from the body. A short-term fix is to use a tongue-scraper, they can be found in most stores near the toothbrushes. You have to scrape your tongue every morning and at least you can remove what is currently on there and improve your breath temporarily. This is very good to do first thing in the morning so that you don't swallow the bacteria on your tongue and further pollute the intestines. It will keep coming back though until you clear out the toxins.
