Miswak: Nature’s toothbrush

Miswak, the ancient teeth-cleaning stick, isn’t just a tradition — 21st-century scientists say its antibacterial power keeps gums healthy too!

A 2023 study found regular use of miswak can help prevent gum disease and effectively combat the bacteria responsible for tooth decay.

This oral hygiene tool was also recognised by the WHO 1987 as both effective and eco-friendly.
