About Us

Our Story

The Miswak Stick was founded with a simple mission: to bring the natural, time-tested benefits of the Miswak to people around the world while giving back to the communities where it originates. For centuries, communities across the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia have relied on the Salvadora Persica tree, known as the "toothbrush tree," for effective, chemical-free oral hygiene.

We source our premium Miswak sticks ethically and directly from the Middle East and China, carefully selecting each piece to ensure the highest quality. Every stick is naturally packed with antibacterial properties, including natural fluoride, silicon, Vitamin C, salvadorine, and trimethylamine—everything your mouth needs for a clean, healthy smile without synthetic additives.

Backed by Science, Rooted in Tradition

Research shows that Miswak sticks can produce equal or better results than conventional toothbrushes and toothpaste when used properly. But we're not stopping there.

Our Research at Oxford University

MSc Nanotechnology for Medicine and Healthcare

We are proud to announce that we are currently conducting research at Oxford University through participation in the MSc Nanotechnology for Medicine and Healthcare program. This groundbreaking research focuses on advancing the Miswak stick for contemporary oral care by exploring how cutting-edge nanotechnology can enhance the natural properties of this ancient tool. This research is being conducted under the supervision of Professor Peter Dobson OBE as the principal supervisor, with additional academic supervision from Dr Robert Carlisle.

Our work aims to bridge the gap between traditional wisdom and modern science by investigating how we can optimise the Miswak's natural antibacterial compounds and delivery mechanisms. This is not just academic research. It is our commitment to continuously improve the products we offer you.
