Miswak

Preparing the Miswak

Peel the Bark: Remove about 1/2 to 1 inch (1–2 cm) of bark from one end using a knife or your teeth to expose the inner fibers.

Chew to Soften: Chew the exposed end gently until the fibers become soft and resemble a small brush or bristles.

2. Using the Miswak for Brushing

Brush Your Teeth: Place the miswak at a 45-degree angle to your teeth and use small, gentle strokes. Start from the gum line and move outward to ensure you cover all tooth surfaces.

Circular Motion: Use a circular motion for the front teeth and a vertical motion for the back teeth. This technique helps clean teeth more effectively.

Clean All Sides: Make sure to brush all sides of your teeth, including the inner, outer, and chewing surfaces.

Antibacterial Properties: Miswak naturally contains compounds that help reduce bacteria in the mouth.

Plaque Removal: The fibrous bristles effectively clean teeth surfaces and remove plaque.

Natural Freshening: Miswak has a mild, fresh taste that naturally freshens your breath.
