Our chewing sticks and fibers are handcrafted from 100% natural wood, including species like Salvadora persica (Miswak), Azadirachta indica (Neem), and Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides. These botanicals are known for their antibacterial, plaque-reducing, and breath-freshening properties.
Yes. Traditional users and modern research agree that chewing sticks and fibers can remove plaque, freshen breath, stimulate gums, and help maintain a healthy oral microbiome — without harsh chemicals or synthetic materials.
They are known by many names around the world: Miswak, Siwak, Sewak, Arak, Peelu, Datun, Dantakastha, Qesam, Koyoji, and more. Though names differ, the purpose remains the same — natural, effective oral care.
Mintwell products retain the natural flavor of the wood used. We never add artificial flavors or sweeteners. Most users describe the taste as earthy, slightly bitter, and refreshingly clean.
We recommend our products for ages 8 and up. Children under 12 should use them under adult supervision to avoid swallowing fibers or sharp pieces.
Daily use is encouraged — just as you would with a conventional toothbrush. You can use our chewing sticks and fibers 1–3 times a day for best results.
That depends on your usage. A stick can last for multiple sessions if trimmed and stored properly. Fibers are single-use but come in generous bundles for daily routines.
Not necessarily. Many Mintwell users rely solely on our natural tools. However, you can combine them with other natural oral care products if you prefer a hybrid routine.
Some first-time users experience mild gum sensitivity — this usually fades with continued use. Discontinue use if irritation persists and consult your dental professional.
Yes. All Mintwell chewing sticks and fibers are 100% biodegradable and compostable — right down to the packaging.
We use recycled kraft paper and other low-impact, recyclable or compostable materials. No plastic. No unnecessary waste.
Absolutely. Sustainability is at the core of everything we do — from sourcing and handcrafting to packaging and shipping. We also support reforestation and local eco-initiatives through the Mintwell Foundation.
You can shop on Amazon, Etsy, and select natural product retailers.
