Chewing Stick - Neem Stick (Sɛpɛ, Miswak, Mefakiya, Caday, stick brush, Pako Ijebu)
Pickup currently not available
Neem Chewing Stick (Honampa Brand) is a natural, traditional dental cleaning tool made from specially selected plant stems. Used for centuries across Africa, chewing sticks are valued for their ability to naturally clean teeth, freshen breath, and promote oral hygiene without the need for toothpaste. Each stick is air-dried and carefully packed to maintain freshness. Simply chew on one end until fibers form into a brush, then use to clean your teeth and gums.
The size of this bundle is approximately 7" x 4" x 2". The average stick is 6-7 inches long, although they all vary slightly (see photos for close-up measurements).
