Have you heard of miswak toothpaste before?
Dating back to the Babylonian empire, humans have used miswak sticks (the toothbrush tree) to clean their teeth for thousands of years! It isn’t found in normal toothpaste anymore, but miswak paste can be incredibly effective.
In fact, even the World Health Organization recommends miswak for oral hygiene.
The benefits of Miswak
Miswak stems are full of natural substances like trimethylamine, vitamin C, and flavodine. These substances act as a kind of natural toothpaste to improve your oral health.
1. Cleans the teeth
Miswak contains silica, which is a very gentle abrasive. This helps to clean food debris off your teeth and gums!
2. Prevents gingivitis (Gum problems)
Found in miswak paste, tannic acid, and trimethylamine help to prevent gingivitis. Gingivitis refers to gum inflammation and normally happens due to a bacterial infection.
3. Antibacterial
Bacteria cause most gum infections. That’s where miswak paste can help!
Miswak contains safe and natural amounts of alkaloids and sulfur, which are really good at killing off bacteria.
4. Prevents cavities
Miswak contains a safe resinous substance. This resin protects tooth enamel, strengthens your teeth, and prevents cavities.
5. Prevents bad breath
Miswak also contains oils that produce a distinctive aroma, driving away bad breath. These natural essential oils can also balance your mouth’s pH.
If you’re currently pregnant and looking for a way to deal with bad breath, miswak paste could help you do the trick.
6. Cures mouth sores
Do you have mouth sores or ulcers? Miswak contains Vitamin C, which repairs damaged tissue and heals your ulcers quickly.
7. Prevents tartar
Additionally, the chloride content in miswak prevents the build-up of tartar in your mouth.
This can help to protect your teeth from problems as you age.
8. Miswak contains good chemicals found in ordinary toothpaste too!
A single miswak stem can contain loads of good chemicals found in ordinary toothpaste, such as:
- Sodium bicarbonate, which removes food debris and prevents plaque.
- Calcium, which strengthens your tooth enamel.
- Sterol, which helps lower cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of heart disease.
Miswak can have countless benefits for your oral health. Apart from just being a natural ingredient, it contains loads of great chemicals that help to preserve and protect your teeth and gums. Studies show that miswak paste can be even more effective than ordinary toothpaste.
That’s why we’ve decided to include it in our Mama’s Choice Non-Fluoride Toothpaste!
