The Salvadora Persica is also known to us as the toothbrush tree, and for good reason: the fibrous wood of the tree is ideal for cleaning the teeth in a natural way. This practice has been widespread in Asia, Africa and Arabia since ancient times. The twigs used for this purpose are called miswak.
Chewing on the miswak makes the wood soft and fibrous, it gives a natural brush shape. Like a normal toothbrush, the brush removes plaque and debris from teeth, gums and tongue.
The wood contains natural fluorides, calcium and silicon, which are ideal for dental care and are also added to many toothpastes. These are released by chewing on the twig and clean the teeth. The Miswak is therefore toothbrush and toothpaste in one. Take care of your teeth, in the most natural way!
