Miswak, the Original Toothbrush

Miswak, Arak, Miswaki, Sewak or Siwak are all names of the original toothbrush, a “chewstick”. Appearing as a lowly twig from the Arak tree, native to the Middle East, Miswak has impressive oral hygiene benefits. In addition the Miswak stick is affordable and environment friendly.

The miswak stick is a toothbrush as well as a toothpaste, a very convenient 2-in-1 appliance. Miswak contains potent anti-bacterial properties, protects against the buildup of plaque. A perfect treatment for bad breath and strengthens gums preventing gingivitis.
