The natural toothbrush (Siwak) from the Arak plant (Salvadora persica), grows in the deserts of Arabia, East Africa and Front Asia, where traditional use is widespread. For 7,000 years, in Mesopotamia - the cradle of civilization - there are hints of a brush-like fanned stick for dental care. In the Muslim world, the Miswak toothbrush has not lost its importance to this day, but the Prophet Mohammed has used and recommended regularly. Today, modern clinically-controlled studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the Miswak toothbrush in plaque reduction and prophylaxis. Miswak use gains popularity, not least because of its sustainability and biodegradability. The smell or taste of the natural toothbrush is pleasantly wood-like with a very fine and mild ginger note. The Miswak is ideal to have with you or for travelling. It replaces toothbrush and pasta, while it cleans gently and thoroughly thanks to natural plaster crystals, is haemostatic and prevents the penetration of bacteria and thus avoids bad breath. When used correctly, teeth will become clean and smooth like never before. It contains important natural (!) Minerals such as fluoride (8 to 22 ppm) and silicon, germ and anti-inflammatory tannins (tannins) as well as vitamin C, saponins, chlorides, flavonoids, potassium and calcium. Application: moisten the tip of the miswak with water or saliva to soften the bark. Then pull the bark, approx. 1-2 cm with the cutting teeth. Chew with the cutting teeth on the first millimetres of the wood and turn it until it is soft and frays like a brush. Now gently sweep away from the gums with the brush. You can spit out or swallow the wood fibres that break down. If the fibres are very frayed after several days, simply cut the brush down to the bark and start from the front.
