The Prophet ﷺ said: "Were it not that I would make it difficult for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to use the Siwak (miswak) before every prayer."

The WHO recognized miswak as an effective oral hygiene tool. Studies show Salvadora persica (miswak tree) contains natural antibacterial compounds, fluoride, and silica. A 2003 study found miswak users had significantly lower plaque and gingivitis scores.
