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

Blogging is not only writing posts, but also constant communication with my readers. Why I love my hobby! One of the things I like is that not only can I share my knowledge, but my readers very often give advice or suggest interesting discoveries in the so-called healthy way life.

That's what happened this time, when one of my readers (for which many thanks to her!) Shared with me one interesting thing. Namely, the fact that she uses nothing to brush her teeth, but a stick from a tree! I decided I would definitely try this one. natural method for oral care and write a review about it.

It turned out that Miswak is ancient method oral care, partly religious and, to me, backed by scientific research.

I have been brushing my teeth with Miswak for almost a month now and I can say for sure that I do not plan to stop. First, it is natural and natural! Secondly, no toothpaste is needed. Thirdly, it is convenient, all you need to carry with you is a small wooden stick. And, fourthly, it is even more useful than regular brushing with a toothbrush and paste!

What is Miswak?

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

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

Useful properties of Miswak

I’ll start, perhaps, with what Sivak contains and the extract that appears when he brushes his teeth:

• Silicon, which naturally helps to wash away stains from the surface of the teeth, such as from 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 the gums and have a bactericidal effect
• Essential oils- antiseptic effect, stimulate salivation, which helps to wash away bacteria from the surface of the teeth
• Vitamin C helps repair and heal tissues
• 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 - attack even healthy teeth. Sivak, according to, for example, this study, is able to remove plaque better than a toothbrush. Here's 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 of Oral Health in 2003. Miswak is more effective in fighting gingivitis than regular brushing and toothpaste.

Naturally whitens teeth

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

Prevents the development of caries

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

How to brush your teeth properly with Miswak

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

So, let's begin:

1. Clean the rod. To do this, peel off 1 cm of the bark from any edge. I do it carefully with a knife.
2. Put the cleaned side in water (for example, in a glass) for a couple of minutes.
3. Remove and chew the cleaned side for about 5 minutes until the so-called bristles become visible.
4. Brush your teeth! Do it carefully! And avoid circular motions. Best 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 need to store the stick in the same way as you would a regular toothbrush.

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

The problem of prevention of diseases of the oral cavity has faced mankind since the first centuries of its appearance. Today, we compensate for the lack of teeth when they are lost by installing implants, and in the period when our ancestors lived, this loss was irreparable. And people have come up with toothbrushes that protect them. Who and when first discovered that the branches of the Salvador 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. Tooth sticks are first mentioned in the ancient lines of the Koran, sacred to Muslims. The Prophet Muhammad recommends using a miswak (the so-called natural ancient brush) daily, cleaning the teeth and gums after meals.

In this article:

Advantages

Natural "brush" (another name - sivak) - has advantages comparable to useful qualities modern cleaning equipment. Judge for yourself: miswak contains anti-inflammatory and antiseptic substances, the presence of which makes the application of paste or powder on the teeth optional.

Among the "pluses" - the presence in the composition:

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

Nice bonus: Miswak contains silicon dioxide, which whitens teeth. This happens without damage to the enamel, which, unfortunately, patients feel after professional whitening in dental office. Silicon destroys pigmentation and fights soft plaque.

These are not all the advantages of the sivak. It is convenient for patients because:

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

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

Flaws

With braces installed, you can not use a wand. Reason: in preparation for use, the miswak is "fluffed", that is, one end is divided 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 structural elements of the bracket system, it can damage them. It is difficult to extract the fibers on your own. You have to go to the dentist.

The second risk group is people with hypersensitivity teeth. They have thin enamel, which is erased with rough exposure. And the next stage is caries.

Difficulties also arise for those who took a stick that was too hard, having poorly prepared it for “work”. Sharp villi damage soft tissues when pressed. As a result, instead of benefit, we get harm: small wounds are applied to the gum, it bleeds, and if an infection joins, 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 pocketing, halitosis, and tooth loss.

Sivak, as we see, is not a panacea for diseases of the oral cavity. Therefore, do not forget about caution 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 in this way to avoid spoilage).
2. Wash the miswak.
3. Separate the bark from one end. It peels off easily - with your hands or a knife.
4. Chew the future "brush". It will loosen up and be ready for use.
5. Start cleaning.

Making it miswak is harder and gotta get used to it. Beginning with upper jaw, brush each tooth, making "sweeping" movements. Speed ​​is slow at first. You will be within 10-12 minutes. The procedure is longer than just using a brush. But there are "pluses": sivak cleans the gaps between the teeth and makes the enamel lighter. True, this effect will appear after 2-3 procedures.

Video review from Tatyana about its opening:

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

How to store

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

Do you plan to get "heavy artillery" a couple of times a week? Store the stick in the refrigerator in an open container. After two uses, trim the bristles to further cleanse the bark. And do the same if the bristles become sparse.

Use the miswak until it runs out.

Price

"Tool" is available to anyone. Prices start from 80 rubles. (if you place an order through the online store).

Would you like a scented stick or additionally treated with cleaning medicines? The cost can go up to 200 rubles. and more.

A sprig of Salvador Persian benefits people when correct application. But it cannot be called a panacea: it has a number of contraindications and does not completely replace the brush and therapeutic and prophylactic paste. Therefore, brush your teeth with a siwak from time to time, guided by the same principle as when using floss. Let it become an addition to hygiene procedures.

In this video you will see a clear example of the use of miswak:

Visit the dentist every six months to a year to make sure everything is in order. Not a single brush and Magic wand will not replace professional treatment. Take care of the health of your teeth - the state of the whole organism depends on them!

Brushing your teeth is a daily routine modern people can't get by even a day. To carry it out, manufacturers, in addition to the standard toothbrush and toothpaste, offer a huge selection of different oral care products. At the same time, each manufacturer tries to present its product with the highest quality and the safest possible. This information is in most cases false. Are there any oral hygiene products that are truly safe for health and effective in fighting plaque? Yes, they are, one of them is Sivak.

What is a Sivak wand?

A natural brush made from the root of Salvador Persian or the arak tree can be safely called an alternative to our usual toothbrush and paste. The device is better known as Miswak (Sivak).

Cleaning sticks were used in ancient times, they are still used in the East today. Miswak does not contain fragrances, dyes and other chemical components. The naturalness of this product is 100%, because it is an ordinary root or branch of a plant.

Sivak is a small stick. One of its ends is split so that you can brush your teeth with it. Miswak, depending on the length, is of two types:

• 5 cm;
• 15 cm.

In order to obtain a cleaning stick, it is necessary, using a knife or teeth, to remove the dense bark of the plant in order to get to its delicate fibers. They should be loosened up a bit. This completes your safety brush. After numerous tests, it has been proven that for the prevention of gum disease, instead of toothpaste and brushes, it is better to use a natural Sivak stick.

Dried and fresh Sivak

There are two types of Sivak:

• dried;
• fresh.

What is the difference between them? Dried stick for brushing teeth does not require any special conditions storage. Dried Miswak has not much pleasant taste, besides, most of its useful properties are lost.

Fresh Miswak is excellent remedy to neutralize bad smell coming from the oral cavity. Unlike dry cleaning sticks, fresh ones do not lose their useful properties and provide comfort in use. The only downside is that they require special storage conditions. It can be very difficult to find and purchase fresh Miswak, so it is used more often in dry form.
