Miswak or ancient and natural way cleaning teeth using a special wooden twig.

Blogging is not only about writing posts, but also about constantly communicating with my readers. This is why I love my hobby! One of the things I like is that not only I can share my knowledge, but also my readers very often advise or suggest interesting discoveries in the so-called healthy way life.

That’s what happened this time, when one of my readers (for which I thank her very much!) shared one interesting thing with me. Namely, the fact that she uses nothing but a wood stick to brush her teeth! I decided that I would definitely try this one. natural method for oral care and will write my review about it.

It turned out that Miswak is the oldest method oral care, partly religious and, importantly for me, backed by scientific research.

I’ve been brushing my teeth with Miswak for almost a month now and I can say for sure that I don’t plan to stop. Firstly, it is natural and natural! Secondly, you don't need any toothpaste. Thirdly, it is convenient; all you need to carry with you is a small wooden stick. And, fourthly, it’s even healthier than regular brushing with a toothbrush and toothpaste!

What is Miswak?

This is a branch of a tree, traditionally an Arak or Miswak tree. It is also called Sivak - a traditional type of oral cleansing in the Muslim world.

Historically, twigs were used for cleaning teeth in ancient Babylon, Egypt, and Greece.

Useful properties of Miswak

Let me start, perhaps, with what Sivak contains and the extract that appears when brushing your teeth with it:

• Silicon, which naturally helps remove stains from the surface of teeth, such as tea, coffee and cigarettes
• Bicarbonate of soda- has a delicate abrasive property, cleaning teeth
• Tannic acid has an astringent effect on the mucous membrane, prevents the formation of plaque and gingivitis
• Alkaloids stimulate gums and have a bactericidal effect
• Essential oils- antiseptic effect, stimulate salivation, which helps wash away bacteria from the surface of the teeth
• Vitamin C Helps repair and heal tissue
• Calcium responsible for the remineralization of tooth enamel

And now a little about how brushing your teeth with this wooden twig can restore the health of your teeth:

Fights plaque

Tartar is a disaster even healthy teeth. Sivak, according to, for example, this study, is able to remove plaque better than a toothbrush. Here is the same study, where a group of people used this special twig for just 8 days - reduced tartar by 75%.

Prevents and fights gum disease

Helps fight gingivitis, according to a study published in the Journal Oral Health in 2003. Miswak is more effective in combating gingivitis than regular brushing and toothpaste.

Naturally whitens teeth

Gently polishes and cleans the surface of teeth. Protects and strengthens enamel.

Prevents the development of caries

Possesses antibacterial properties, which reduces the likelihood of caries. Increases salivation, washes away bacteria from the surface of the teeth.

How to properly brush your teeth with Miswak

The first time I tried to brush my teeth with this twig, I thought it would be difficult. But it turned out that this was not at all the case. Of course, at first the sensations are quite unusual and it will take time to adapt to the new method of brushing your teeth. But after practicing a couple of times, I realized that Miswak would definitely stay with me!

So, let's begin:

1. Clean the twig. To do this, peel off 1 cm of bark from any edge. I do this carefully with a knife.
2. Place the cleaned side in water (for example, in a glass) for a couple of minutes.
3. Remove and chew on the cleaned side for about 5 minutes until the so-called bristles become visible.
4. Brush your teeth! Do this carefully! And avoid circular motions. It's best from left to right and top to bottom.
5. You need to cut off the used side once every 5 days. And then repeat the method of cleaning the twig.
6. You should store the stick in the same way as a regular toothbrush.

Note: Miswak can be used with or without toothpaste (ideally natural). I don't use toothpaste with Miswak, but I miss the freshness, so I literally put 1 drop of mint essential oil on the bristles and brush my teeth.

The problem of preventing oral diseases has faced humanity since the first centuries of its appearance. Today we compensate for the lack of teeth when they are lost by installing implants, but in the period when our ancestors lived, this loss was irreplaceable. And people have come up with teeth cleaning products that protect them. Who and when first discovered that the branches of the Salvadora Persian tree, growing in Pakistan, Iran and North Africa, have an anti-inflammatory effect?

Today it is difficult to name the name of the discoverer - it has long been forgotten. Dental sticks were first mentioned in the ancient verses of the Muslim holy Koran. The Prophet Muhammad recommends using a miswak (the so-called natural ancient brush) daily, cleaning teeth and gums after meals.

In this article:

Advantages

Natural “brush” (another name is sivak) - has advantages comparable to useful qualities modern cleaning devices. Judge for yourself: miswak contains anti-inflammatory and antiseptic substances, the presence of which makes applying paste or powder to the teeth unnecessary.

Among the “advantages” is the presence in the composition:

• fluorine;
• tannins;
• flavonoids;
• alkaloids;
• fragrant resins;
• essential oils.

Nice bonus: Miswak contains silicon dioxide, which whitens teeth. This occurs without damaging the enamel, which, unfortunately, is felt by patients after professional whitening V dental office. Silicon destroys pigmentation and fights soft plaque.

This is not all the advantages of the siwak. It is convenient for patients because:

• fits in plastic bag, which you can simply put in your pocket;
• available for human use of different ages– from children to the elderly.

A modest stick - a piece of a branch of an outlandish Asian plant - is inexpensive, but has so many advantages that it’s time for many of us to think about buying it. Many - but not all? Yes, there are contraindications.

Flaws

If you have braces installed, you cannot use a wand. Reason: In preparation for use, the miswak is “fluffed,” that is, one end is separated into fibers. These woody “threads” slide along the front and back surfaces of the teeth, also getting into the interdental spaces and cleaning out food debris. If the thread gets stuck in the braces, it can damage them. It is difficult to extract the fibers yourself. You'll have to go to the dentist.

The second risk group is people with hypersensitivity teeth. They have thin enamel that wears off with rough impact. And the next stage is caries.

Difficulties also arise for those who took a stick that was too hard and poorly prepared it for “work.” Sharp fibers cause damage soft fabrics when pressed. As a result, instead of benefit, we get harm: small wounds are applied to the gums, it bleeds, and if an infection occurs, the first symptoms of gingivitis or periodontitis will appear.

Be especially vigilant if you are over 50 years old. At this age, periodontitis is common and leads to pocket formation, halitosis and tooth loss.

Sivak, as we see, is not a panacea for oral diseases. Therefore, remember to be careful when using it. In addition, some complain that it is difficult to reach the back row of teeth with a stick.

How to use

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Open the vacuum packaging (original products are stored and prepared for sale only this way to avoid damage).
2. Wash the miswak.
3. Remove the bark from one end. It peels off easily - with your hands or a knife.
4. Chew the future “brush”. It will unfiber and be ready for use.
5. Start cleaning.

Making it a miswak is more difficult and we need to adapt. Beginning with upper jaw, brush each tooth using a sweeping motion. The speed is slow at first. You will do it in 10–12 minutes. The procedure takes longer than simply using a brush. But there are “advantages”: sivak cleans the spaces between teeth and makes the enamel lighter. True, this effect will appear after 2-3 procedures.

Video review from Tatyana about her discovery:

After brushing your teeth, rinse the stick and put it in an open container.

How to store

Are you going to keep a miswak in the bathroom next to your brush? Okay, but then use it every day. Bacteria will not have time to “settle” on it.

Are you planning to bring out the “heavy artillery” a couple of times a week? Store the stick in the refrigerator in an open container. After two uses, trim the bristles, further cleaning the bark. And do the same if the bristles become sparse.

Use the miswak until it runs out.

Price

The “tool” is available to anyone. Prices start from 80 rub. (if you place an order through the online store).

Do you want a flavored stick or one additionally treated with cleaning medications? The cost can reach up to 200 rubles. and more.
