Miswak - The Toothbrush Tree

To begin, you take the stick and peel or chew the bark off of 1 cm of the end of the miswak stick. You then chew the wood in the middle until the fibers are seperated. Then you brush and move the branch over your teeth, cleaning and removing debris and tarter build-up.
You can take the stick with you wherever you go and no need for water.
You break off older pieces from the end revealing fresh branch as the ends get dirty or torn up.

Some benefits for using the Miswak Stick for brushing your teeth are:

• The Miswak stick is biodegradable. No need to litter the landfills with plastic toothbrushes.


• They are inexpensive. The average cost for one stick is less than a name brand toothbrush.


• It is an all natural source of fluoride.


• Leaves your mouth with a fresh feeling and flavor.


• Experience a piece of what the nomadic Arabs did in ancient times.

Miswak sticks taste like a lite version of licorice. The toothpastes, sometimes, a bit stronger version of the stick.
