What is meswak?

Miswak is a teeth-cleaning tool made from the twigs of the Salvadora persica tree, commonly used in various cultures, particularly in the Middle East and parts of Africa. It has been used for centuries as a natural toothbrush due to its antibacterial properties and ability to promote oral hygiene. Miswak is rich in fluoride, which helps prevent tooth decay, and its use is encouraged in Islamic traditions. Its natural composition makes it an eco-friendly alternative to conventional toothbrushes.
