3. Anti-inflammatory and Healing Agents. The natural compounds in Miswak reduce gum inflammation and promote healing, making it ideal for gum disease prevention.
   
4. Natural Whitening Effect. The Silica content in Miswak acts as a gentle abrasive that effectively removes stains, resulting in whiter teeth over time.
   
5. Prevents Plaque Formation. Studies have shown that regular use of Miswak is more effective at preventing plaque buildup compared to conventional toothbrushes due to its antimicrobial properties.
   
6. Strengthens Gums and Freshens Breath. Miswak's natural fibers clean between teeth while its antibacterial properties help eliminate bad breath-causing bacteria.

If you find the taste/smell to be a bit too strong, soak the Miswak in salt water for a couple hours and let it sun dry. Then, peel the tip to expose the 'bristles' then soak in salt water again. Happy cleaning!

Step 1: Soften & Prepare the TipSoak the miswak stick in warm water for 10–20 minutes the first time you use it. This softens the fibers for easier chewing.

Trim about 0.5 to 1 cm off the bark at the tip (you don’t need to cut too much).

Gently chew the tip with your molars until the fibers separate into a brush-like form.

Step 2: Brushing TechniqueUse the miswak like a toothbrush but brush vertically or in small circular motions, not horizontally (to protect your gums).

Spend about 1–3 minutes per session, not necessarily 30 minutes per tooth, miswak is often used multiple times a day (e.g., after meals or prayer).

Focus on both teeth and gums, miswak naturally massages and cleans both.
Step 3: Cleaning & StorageAfter use, rinse the tip under running water to clean off residue.

Cut off the bristled tip every few days (or once it feels dry, flavorless, or worn) to reveal a fresh section.

Store in a breathable container. Bamboo is great, just make sure the case isn’t fully airtight, especially if the miswak is damp.
🔄 Is it Normal for Miswak to Dry Out?Yes, miswak can dry out over time, especially in dry or air-conditioned environments. If it feels too stiff:

Soak it again in warm water for a few minutes before use, it should soften back up.

If it doesn’t revive or feels flavorless, trimming to a fresh section is the right move.
