Miswak is a natural teeth-cleaning tool made from the twigs of the Salvadora persica tree, commonly known as the toothbrush tree. It has been used for centuries in various cultures, particularly in the Middle East and parts of Africa, as a traditional method for oral hygiene. The twigs are chewed on one end to create a brush-like tip, which can then be used to clean teeth and gums. The use of miswak is praised for its antibacterial properties and the presence of natural compounds that promote dental health. It is often considered an eco-friendly alternative to modern toothbrushes, as it is biodegradable and does not require toothpaste. Many people appreciate miswak for its convenience and effectiveness in maintaining oral hygiene.
