What is Miswak, Siwak or Sewak?

Miswak (aka Siwak or Sewak)is a highly effective natural toothbrush alternative. It was the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to use this specific twig from the PEELU tree for cleaning the teeth. He used to use Miswak before every salat. There are many Islamic traditions regarding the Miswak, its health benefits and rewards. We will summarize a few here in this description.

What is in a Peelu or Miswak Twig?

Miswak are cut from root and small branches of the Salvadora Persica tree. The tree is called Peelu in Urdu and Arak in Arabic. The Miswak is known to have many beneficial elements including natural detergents, resins and fluoride. It is obtained from the choicest twigs and processed and vacuum packed to preserve its freshness and moisture.

How to Prepare Your Miswak?

By gently chewing on the tip of the MISWAK, the bark will peel off and the miswak will become like a toothbrush. You can also remove about a half of an inch of the bark with a knife or razor blade. Some scholars relate that it is recommended that teeth be brushed horizontally.

The Many Health Benefits of Miswak

The miswak, siwak or sewak, as it is also called, should be stored in a dry place. There are numerous benefits to this method of cleaning the teeth and promoting oral health. This Islamic oral hygiene product is believed to aid in killing bacteria that cause gum disease. It is also believed to help fights cavities, plaque and help eliminate bad breath. Use of the miswak gives a sweet smell to the mouth and is known to increase salivation. Daily use of the Miswak may improve intelligence, memory and eyesight, according to Islamic traditions, and is good for general health.

Apart from its numerous possible health benefits, it is also part of Islamic tradition to use the Miswak before every prayer. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is reported to have always been seen doing so. In several hadiths (Islamic traditions) it is stated that the prophet (SAW) told of the benefits of Miswak saying that the Miswak improves intelligence, memory and enhances eyesight. Furthermore, the enzymes from the peelu wood (name commonly used in Eglish to describe the miswak tree) is said to improve the sense of taste and aids in the digestion process.
