Miswak Sticks for Teeth, Natural Toothbrush

Miswak sticks are pieces cut from the branches of the erak tree, useful for cleaning teeth and highly recommended. The use of miswak for oral and dental care is important. To use fresh miswak, peel about 1 cm from either end. Then apply pressure or chew with your molars until the peeled part looks like a brush. It's ready when it's stringy like a brush. You can also wrap the stripped end with plastic wrap and gently crush it with pliers to open the fibers. For dry miswak, soak in water for 1 day before preparing. The ready-to-use miswak is used by holding it and rubbing transversely across the teeth, gums, tongue, and palate. Avoid excessive pressure. Some initial bleeding from the gums may occur but should subside as the gums strengthen. Ensure hands are clean when handling the miswak.
