African Spicy Chewing Stick/Pako Alata /Toothbrush Stick
Packaged in a convenient 5 or 10-sticks pack, it is a versatile ingredient that can be easily integrated into your pantry collection to unwind with a cup of herbal infusion. This product promises to deliver a truly indigenous taste sensation.
In many African cultures, the Pako Alata, commonly known as the African spicy chewing stick, has been used for centuries as a natural alternative to modern toothbrushes. This simple yet effective oral hygiene tool is derived from the twigs of specific trees, which are often rich in antibacterial properties and flavourful spices. Users chew on one end of the stick until it softens, allowing for easy brushing of teeth and gums.
The natural flavours, often spicy, provide a refreshing taste while promoting oral health. In addition to cleaning teeth, the Pako Alata helps to freshen breath and can even contribute to the prevention of dental issues. Embracing this traditional practice not only honours cultural heritage but also offers an eco-friendly and sustainable approach to oral care.
