The Miswak sticks:

Miswak, also called Siwak, refers to a branch, bud or root piece of the toothbrush tree (Salvadora persica L.) that is used to clean teeth. The Miswak is the traditional Arabic form of toothbrush.
Before toothbrushes were available to buy in Central Europe, branches of various trees were used for dental care. Oak and willow wood were widespread.

The toothbrush tree grows in the deserts of Arabia, East Africa and the Middle East and combines the properties of toothbrush and toothpaste. It naturally contains substances that protect and clean teeth. No water is required to clean your teeth with the Miswak.

Miswak has been used to clean teeth since ancient times. The use of chewed fibrous branches was already mentioned in the ancient Indian code of Manu (ca. 600 B.C. BC) and recommended in the famous ancient Indian collection of medical knowledge Sushruta (around 400 AD).

The miswak plays a major role in the Islamic world; it is not mentioned in the Koran, but according to the hadith literature, Mohammed is said to have used it regularly. The Miswaks available in Germany are made of root wood and are mostly imported from Pakistan.
