SEWAK AL-FALAH Miswak (Traditional Natural Toothbrush) - 10 Pack - Individually Vacuum Sealed for Long-Lasting Freshness – Traditional Oral Care for Deep Cleaning, Whitening, and Plaque Defense

I will never buy a toothbrush again. No plastic. Cheap as hell. Lasts a good amount of time. Lots of tooth-healthy components inside. You don't even need anything to use it, just your teeth to peel the bark and saliva and chewing to make the bristles flexible. Extremely ADHD-friendly. If you have trouble brushing your teeth normally, just keep this in your pocket or by your desk or wherever. It is a low-barrier, accessible tool to teeth cleaning. They should really give this to people starting from childhood and just skip all the stupid toothbrush crap. This one-dollar ($1) stick they chopped off a tree has already done more for me than a dentist-recommended $100 motorized rechargeable head-swapping piece of crap and a bunch of useless sugar-filled mouthwash given to me on prescription. If I had these growing up, I wouldn't have fillings today. The only thing I'd add to this for an oral hygiene routine is a tongue-scraper since this isn't really used for the tongue. Both are cheap, durable, and simple. If you hate overcomplicated corporate bs and getting looped into systems you never agreed to, this will likely be a very welcome addition to your life. And be wary of the fact that western markets are catching onto this product, and making weird expensive derivative products. I've already seen a $35 dollar toothbrush handle with "recharge packs" of tiny chunks of miswak sticks you load individually into it. It's bullcrap. Take the leap and go straight for the chewing stick. You will not miss anything you left behind. Good for people who hate the plastic industry: Yes! It's better than one-use brushes preloaded with toothpaste. It's better than average toothbrushes with plastic handles. It's better than electric and head-swapping brushes. It's better than brushes with natural handles (eg wood), since those still have nylon (plastic) bristles. This is literally just a stick. The only plastic is the packaging. Good for penny-savers: Yes! The cost/benefit ratio is very good and the initial cost is extremely low. I bought 10 and after giving a bunch away to friends and family, I still have plenty. Good for the health-conscious: Yes! It's shown to work as good as or better than standard western tooth hygiene routines, due to many naturally-occurring substances in the tree which promote tooth health, such as fluoride and calcium and anti-bacterial components, as well as the gentle abrasive action of the bristles, which clean teeth and promotes good gum health as well. I was even able to use mine to do some at-home de-scaling which I could not do with a modern toothbrush, although I don't think this is something a dentist would recommend trying. Also, the tooth-promoting compounds mix with your saliva, so you can swish your own saliva around your teeth (and/or use your tongue) without needing mouthwash. For those worried about flouride: Yes, you can eat flouride. Yes, it's technically "toxic", but the "toxicity" here means that if you guzzle down an entire tube of toothpaste, you will get a tummyache. It's not food. That's all it means. There is not enough flouride in the miswak to cause any problems. Flouride is a mineral that teeth use to repair themselves, like calcium. Remember, regular table salt is more dangerous than flouride, and you can freely eat that too. Your body will let you know if it's had enough. This will not happen when using chewing sticks for tooth health. No "the government" (which agency anyway? also miswak is not from the USA.) does not use flouride to control people. You are already controlled just fine using social media sites, exploitative marketing design, and unethical journalism. Being ungovernable does not involve collecting cavities. On the contrary, the better your health is, the more powerful you are against exploitation. So yes, the flouride content naturally occurring in miswak is both fine, and also actually really beneficial and interesting. I never thought of a tree as being a mineral source before, but it makes sense. Dispose of your final disposable toothbrush once and for all. It was as easy as chewing on a stick this whole time!

I was skeptical at first, but these really do clean your teeth ( maybe better than a toothbrush ) you do have to peel or cut off the bark about an inch, and then chew it to spread the bristles. The taste isn't that great, but after using just 1 time I am a believer in these and will be using them every day. It completely took off the plaque build up that accumulated throughout the day, and also left my mouth slightly tingly like minty toothpaste. But it does not at all taste minty just an FYI. But I feel the benefits outweigh the taste. I would definitely still use floss, but this could potentially completely eliminate the need for a toothbrush. Just try it and see for yourself. This one in particular is also cheaper and worth it compared to other more higher priced sticks.

This is my first time trying Miswak so I don’t have much to compare to but overall it’s a good product. Shipping was as estimated(about 2 weeks) but I wasn’t expecting the packaging. The bag it was shipped in is the only thing holding all of the sticks together so definitely don’t rip the bag open any ole way! The individual packing also is not resealable and there are no direction or advised storage tips so I wish the company would have added that. I do not like the taste of the outside of the stick so I used my fingernails to scrape off the outside of the stick to get to the bristle-links inside and chewed it a bit to soften. The taste still is not the best but I can definitely tell the difference in my teeth after the FIRST use! My teeth felt super clean! Now are they any whiter, I don’t think so but this is week one so that part is still up for debate. I have to use a mouth was directly after using because the bristle-like pieces of the stick break off a little while using. Then I brush with regular fluoride free toothpaste because as I said the taste/smell is not appealing at all. Overall it Is a great natural product for teeth cleaning!

I first saw advertisements for the miswak on TikTok and thought it sounded too good to be true. After soaking it, you can easily get the putter bark off with your fingernail alone, which was super convenient! Do the bristles sometimes break off during cleaning? Yes, but it’s minimal enough that it’s easy to rinse & spit those pieces. It does have a peculiar smell that can be off putting at first, but it soon fades and the taste is not noticeable, but don’t try to suck on the bristles to “clean” them, because that will taste bad (found out the hard way) I haven’t personally noticed a whitening effect, but I haven’t been using it by itself religiously. I do absolutely recommend this product for its convenience and extraordinary cleaning ability. I ate a snack after using it, and my teeth still felt clean and clear of plaque. Each stick seems to last for quite some time, with 2-3 uses between recutting it down. I’ve been using the same stick for the last month or two, so this product is absolutely worth the money. It can be a bit awkward to reach the inner and outer side of back teeth, but it’s very doable. Will definitely be a repeat customer.

When I started using these, I decided not to read the instructions on the package because it was so small and I had the beginning of a headache so I just opened one of the “brushes”, peeled a little bit of an end off and started rubbing the hard bristles gently against my teeth then I remembered I could read the instructions on Amazon so I came here and started reading the reviews. Well, you’re supposed to soak it, etc. to soften the bristles, which I didn’t. I just used it out of the package which worked fine. The smell was a little weird, but it wasn’t offputting or a “chemical“ smell. When I was done, my teeth felt so clean. I kept rubbing my tongue over them because they were so smooth and clean I think between using this and oil pulling, your teeth would be perfectly fine and beautifully clean and white without your usual toothbrush and toothpaste. I’m really disappointed in the one star reviews that people left without really giving it a chance.

It has a weird smell and a weird taste to it! Not for me I would have thought I would have like it!

I tried to wait a whole week before leaving a review but I'm honestly how shocked my oral health has improved in just 5 days that I had to leave one. I seriously may never use a regular toothbrush again. I found out about this product after a YouTube rabbit hole binge on herbalism and holistic care. I have always had issues with my teeth in the past, and have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix it. Our American diet is mostly to blame, and I thought that I just had weak teeth and that I could only do the best I could with what I've got. I have done several holistic approaches to remedy my teeth, all of which have worked to varying degrees of success so I figured it was worth a try after seeing videos of rural people enjoying strong, white teeth with no modern toothbrush. Honestly, I am amazed by the results that I have gotten in just a few days. 1. My teeth feel the cleanest they've ever been. Better than an electric toothbrush. 2. I had stains on my teeth that weren't horrible but very noticeable to me. To the point, I was starting to feel self-conscious about it. The stains and plaque have drastically improved. My teeth are whiter and I'm shocked but mostly delighted bc I have crowns in the front of my mouth and was told by a dentist that I could not do a traditional whitening treatment. It's also not advised to use whitening toothpaste on them bc they scratch the tooth and actually discolor them quicker...so I had no idea what to do. This product is slowly but noticeably whitening my teeth. 3. I regularly use a tongue scrapper. Once in the morning and at night after I brush. While I am still doing this, I've noticed that the build-up on my tongue is not that gross, thick deposit that has been there. My tongue has almost nothing on it and what is there is loose and mostly clear. Lastly, my morning breath is much better. Overall I am very pleased with the product. My only slight con is that it can be a little challenging to get the back of my teeth, but it's not impossible. Just takes practice. If you are on the fence I would say get it and try it out. Some people remarked on the taste, which almost stopped me from buying it, but as an herbalist and someone who has taken bitter herbs/tonics, my palette is much different from most so I purchased it to see. I can understand how some might find it unpleasant, but honestly, the taste is very subtle and not that bad. I thought it would be far worse the way ppl were describing it. If you struggle with oral health this is definitely the product to get you back on track. Thank you for offering it!!

I was pretty skeptical about using a stick to clean my teeth but after trying one I'm actually genuinely impressed by how fresh my mouth feels afterward. You just peel back a bit of bark, chew the end a little to soften up the bristles, and then use it kind of like a toothbrush and it works really well. The taste is a little weird at first sort of like horseradish but you adjust to it quickly and 10 sticks for this price is an insane value.

ممتازة

Great product. Received it on 2 days and all the miswaks are decent in size. They are all different sizes, some really thick other are a bit thin. But all of them are good sizes in general. None are too thin. Overall 10/10

Buenísimo

Abgebildet sind dicke Miswak aber ganz viele waren sehr dünn. Dann wurde ich von einem amerikanischen Unternehmen angeschrieben, was ich auch sehr dubios finde. Die Ware ist längst zugestellt und sie schrieben mich an, dass sie hoffen, dass die Ware gut ankommt und etwas länger brauch. Ach wirklich? Aus den USA? Dubios.

Very useful. I love ot
