Miswak is the root or twig of the Salvadora persica tree, also known as the Arak tree. For thousands of years, people have chewed on these sticks to clean their teeth. The fibers of the stick separate to form bristles, while the wood itself releases a host of beneficial compounds—including silica, tannins, and alkaloids—that promote excellent oral health.

Miswak is nature’s original toothbrush and a cornerstone of traditional oral hygiene in many parts of the world. It is a powerful antimicrobial, astringent, and anti-inflammatory agent. It is used to clean teeth, strengthen gums, prevent plaque and tartar formation, and naturally whiten teeth. Its use is praised in Islamic traditions for its purifying benefits.
● As a Natural Toothpowder: Dip a wet toothbrush into the powder and brush as you normally would. It helps to clean teeth and freshen breath naturally.
● For a Gum-Strengthening Massage: Make a paste of the powder with a little water and gently massage it onto the gums to help reduce inflammation and bleeding.
We source authentic Miswak roots and stems from their natural arid habitats, ensuring they are rich in their cleansing and protective compounds.
The stems are hygienically dried and ground into a fine powder, capturing the complete oral care benefits of the traditional tooth-stick in a modern, easy-to-use form.
