One of the best ways to protect one's teeth is with Kharjal / Peelu (i.e.: siwak). Siwak are the wicks that are used to rub inside the mouth, and they get their name from the Arabic word "yudlik," which can be roughly translated to mean "massage" (i.e., massage the inside of the mouth). It means more than "tooth brush."
The best type of peelu is that which comes from the araak tree (i.e.: Peelu Tree). Peelu is a natural twig fortified with natural minerals that help clean the teeth, other inhibitors that prevent gums from bleeding, cleaning agents that kill microbes and germs and a scent that gives breath a naturally fresh smell. Peelu is an ideal, natural brush that has been endowed with more than any artificial toothpaste could ever have.
Like a toothbrush, the wicks on the siwak clean between the teeth and do not break under any amount of pressure; rather, they are flexible and strong. The small wicks bend to the appropriate shape to get plaque and leftover food out from in between teeth while avoiding any damage to the gums.

Peelu has been used for more than 1,400 years to clean teeth and leave a nice scent in mouths.
| The leftovers of food found between teeth provide an excellent environment for the festering of millions of bacteria, which can lead to painful and bloody gum disease and cysts. In the worst cases, there can be inflammation of the jawbones.
Bacteria also produce damaging enzymes that eat away at the calcium of the teeth, which causes cavities. In severe cases, the bacteria produce gases that emit nasty stenches from the mouth. Recent studies have found that peelu has natural minerals that kill microbes and germs and remove plaque. |
Habitat
It can be seen in dry regions of Rajasthan climbing around over stems of full grown other trees and flurish on the host tree. Kharjal's leaves are flat and approximately oval and are distintly visible as drak green bulk of leaves over the top of the host tree.
Chemical Breakdown Of Peelu
Peelu has 19 beneficial ingredients in it. Most important among them are:
· Antibacterial acidic inhibitors that fight decay and diarrhea. They are natural disinfectants and can be used to stop bleeding. They disinfect the gums and teeth and close any microscopic cuts that may have existed in the gums. On first usage, the peelu will taste harsh, and maybe even burn, because of a mustard-like substance found in it, but this is the ingredient that fights decay in the mouth and kills germs.
· Minerals such as sodium chloride, potassium, sodium bicarbonate and calcium oxides. These clean the teeth. For instance, the American Dental Association considers sodium bicarbonate to be a preferred ingredient in toothpastes.

Kharjal / Peelu: Preventive Medicine For Your Teeth
· Natural scented oils that taste and smell nice, give the mouth a nice smell. They make up about 1% of peelu.
· Enzymes that prevent the buildup of plaque that causes gum disease. Plaque is also the no. 1 cause of premature loss of teeth.
· Anti-decay and anti-germ ingredients that act as a penicillin of sorts, decreasing the amount of bacteria in the mouth, which means cleaner teeth and cleaner air when breathing through the mouth.
Some researchers have found that tooth decay is rapid when a dry brush is used, and that wetting one's toothbrush mitigates the damage. So peelu should be dampened before usage. Peelu also has chemicals that cause the mouth to produce extra saliva, which is the mouth's organic defense and cleaning mechanism.
