The Miswak Stick, traditionally made from the Salvadora persica tree, has been used for centuries as a natural way to clean teeth, freshen breath, and support daily oral hygiene. Simple, portable, and completely plastic-free, Miswak remains a popular choice for millions of people around the world today.
Unlike a conventional toothbrush, a Miswak stick is gently chewed to create soft natural fibres that form a brush-like tip. This allows the stick to mechanically clean the teeth and gumline while releasing naturally occurring plant compounds found within the wood.
