Siwak: An Oral Health Device

A variety of oral hygiene measures have been used since the dawn of time. This has been verified by various excavations done all over the world, in which toothpicks, chewsticks, tree twigs, linen strips, birds' feathers, animal bones and porcupine quills were recovered.

1. Those that originated from plants are tasty twigs and although primitive they represented a transitional step towards the modern toothbrush. It has been stated that about seventeen plants could be enumerated as natural sources for several of these oral hygiene devices.

2. The most widely used tree twigs since early times is the “Siwak" or “Miswak".

3. The stick is obtained from a plant called Salvadore Persica that grows around Mecca and the Middle East area in general.

4. It is widely used among Muslems after Prophet Mohammed (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) realised its value as a device which should be used by Moslems to clean their teeth. In this respect our Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) is considered the first dental educator in proper oral hygiene.

Although there is no reference to the use of Siwak in Al-Quran, yet several quotations could be read in the compendium of the sayings of Mohammed (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) as to the benefits of Siwak in mouth cleanliness. read more

The salesman had some time to kill so he turned around and drove up the farm lane. He knocked at the door and when the farmer answered he told him what he had just seen. The farmer said that his son was a geneticist and he had developed this breed of chicken because he, his wife and his son each like a drumstick when they have chicken and this way they only have to kill one chicken.

"That's the most fantastic thing I've ever heard," said the salesman. "How do they taste?"

"I don't know," said the farmer. "We've never caught one."
