Ramadan is almost here, which means it's time to stock up on miswak!
What is Miswak?
Well, miswak is a twig that helps in cleaning teeth and has been used for this purpose for over 7000 years now! (Faint recollections of people in rural areas with a ‘stick’ in their mouths early in the mornings? Yes, now you get it).
Combining the functions of a toothbrush and toothpaste, Miswak’s antibacterial properties have saved many a people from cases of dreadful tooth decay and worse across the centuries. Reportedly, Miswak stick has been in use right since the time of the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians.
If you're a new user, the miswak might look intimidating,
but using it is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1: Peel 1cm of the outer layer,
2: Separate the bristles with your teeth or thumb,
3: Brush!
