Datun – Chewing Stick

Datun, also known as a traditional chewing stick, has been used in Indian oral-care practices for generations. These natural twigs can be gently chewed at one end to form fibres, which are then traditionally used to clean the teeth and massage the gums.

This pack contains four varieties of natural chewing sticks: Neem, Karanj, Giloy and Babool. Each type has its own natural texture, aroma and taste.

Datun is a simple, plastic-free alternative to conventional toothbrushes and can be used as part of a traditional oral-care routine.
