Miswak sticks are cut from the branches of the erak tree, completely sustainable and zero-waste. Miswak stick use has been associated with cleaner mouths for decades and regular use can promote whiter teeth and better overall oral health.
To use a new miswak:
Approximately 1 cm from either end, strip outer layer away from stick then remove the skin. Apply pressure with a hard object or chew with your molars until the peeled part becomes brush-like. When the stick is brush-like/stringy where outer layer was removed. With light pressure, Miswak sticks can be used on teeth, gums, tongue and soft palate.
