The most popular traditional source of tooth or chewing sticks is Salvadora persica, also known as arak (Arabic) and peelu (Urdu). Miswak is an Arabic name that means "tooth cleaning stick," and Salvadora persica, the plant that is usually known as a "miswak" (tooth brush), is widely distributed around the world. Salvadora persica has been used for millennia to promote oral hygiene and to improve dental health. The Salvadora persica is a big, well-branched, evergreen shrub or tree that may grow up to five meters tall and is found in the desert and dry regions of India. Miswak is a pre-Islamic practice that ancient Arabs followed to whiten and polish their teeth. Fresh leaves used in miswak are also used in traditional treatments for coughs, asthma, scurvy, rheumatism, piles, and other illnesses. The favorable effects of miswak on dental health and oral hygiene are partially a result of its mechanical action and partially a result of its pharmacological action, which includes antiplaque, analgesic, anticonvulsant, antibacterial, antimycotic, cytotoxic, antifertility, carminative, deobstrunt, diuretic, astringent, as well as use in biliousness and rheumatism.
