What is miswak?

Miswak – also known as sewak, siwak or meswak – is a natural tooth-cleaning twig cut from the roots of the arak tree (Salvadora persica). For over 7,000 years, people across Arabia, East Africa and South Asia have simply peeled back the bark, chewed the tip into soft bristles and brushed. No toothpaste, no plastic, no chemicals.

What makes miswak remarkable is what is inside the wood. Researchers have identified over 19 active compounds: natural antibacterials that fight plaque, gentle silica that polishes away stains, fluoride salts that strengthen enamel, and essential oils that freshen breath. An entire oral-care routine packed into a single stick.

That is exactly what inspired our Smart Miswak toothbrushes: the same natural power, refined into a modern brush you already know how to use – all the benefits of miswak, with the comfort you are used to.

Japanese Technology

Ancient ritual, modern Japanese science

Smart Miswak toothbrushes do not just copy an old tradition – they refine it. Inspired by the classic miswak stick, the bristles are infused with finely milled miswak powder and a special silica mineral from Hokkaido, Japan: natural plant power meets precise Japanese engineering.

Research at Kanagawa Dental University in Japan evaluated a toothbrush combining miswak fibres with natural silica. Compared to a conventional nylon toothbrush, the miswak and silica brush removed more dental plaque, reduced bacteria in saliva after brushing, and cleaned effectively without toothpaste.

That is why Smart Miswak toothbrushes suit anyone who wants a low-ingredient, water-only option: the comfort of a familiar brush shape with Japanese-made quality.
