Salvadora L.
Salvadora L. is a genus of flowering plants in the family Salvadoraceae. It consists of several species, commonly known as salvadora or toothbrush tree. These plants are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions, thriving in arid environments.
The most well-known species, Salvadora persica, is often used for its twigs, which are traditionally chewed as a natural toothbrush. This practice is prevalent in many cultures, particularly in Middle Eastern and African communities, due to its antibacterial properties and benefits for oral hygiene.
