The miswak is bizarrely a twig from a tree (Saladora persica) that is used for teeth cleaning! But hang on a minute, why on Earth would anyone think of using a twig to clean their teeth?
Well, ancient man did not have toothbrushes and companies such as Oral B and Colgate had yet to be formed - so they obviously needed to find an effective natural alternative for teeth cleaning. This was the most effective method found in Muslim countries and was so effective that is still used to this day.
Westerners may snicker at the concept of people cleaning their teeth with a twig - as we don't pop into the garden and chew on our privet hedges do we? Well, if we do then we are usually sectioned fairly quickly. But research has actually shown that the miswak is more effective than our faithful old humble toothbrush!
A basic rundown of the miswak's benefits are listed below;
• Kills Gum disease causing bacteria.
• Fights plaque effectively.
• Removes Bad breath and odour from mouth.
• Creates a fragrance in the mouth.
• Effectively clean between teeth due to its parallel bristles.
• Increases salivation and hence inhibits dry mouth (Xerostomia).
• No water is needed.
Dental research has discovered interesting information about the miswak - as chemical analysis has revealed that it contains a total of 19 natural substances which are actually beneficial to dental health. Its natural antiseptics have a bactericidal action, killing harmful micro-organisms in the mouth, the tannic acid it contains has astringent qualities which protect the gums from disease, and the aromatic oils prevent your mouth going dry.
In addition to strengthening the gums, preventing tooth decay and eliminating toothaches, the miswak is also said to halt further increase in decay that has already set in. Furthermore, it is claimed to create a fragrance in the mouth which eliminates bad breath, while also improving the sense of taste and cause the teeth to glow and shine!
Supposed benefits not related to the teeth and gums include sharpening memory, curing headaches, creating a glow on the face of the one who continually uses it, strengthening the eyesight, assisting in digestion and clearing the voice. None of these claims, however, have been researched scientifically.
They come packed in an airtight vacuum wrapper which makes them naturally fresh, but because of the built-in antiseptics, the miswak needs no cleaning. The bristles are parallel to the handle rather than perpendicular, which means that it can reach more easily between the teeth that a typical toothbrush might miss. However, the end may need to be soaked in rose water to soften the end.
Your scary 6 month visit to the dentist is going to become a lot more pleasant!
