The souak or Swak

The souak or Swak is black walnut dried bark. 
Moroccan women are adept at using nature's bounty to beautify and care for every bit of the body. Use of such ingredients in their beauty regime brings them a feeling of well-being and of an undisputed natural glow.

The secrets of getting the best from specific plants in a beauty regime is an art that is whispered from mother to daughter, down through the generations, ensuring Moroccans continued beauty and health.

This bark comes under the form of small brown strips, often rolled up around a rosewood branch.
Thanks to its whitening and antiseptic action, the souak is used as a natural toothpaste.
It is enough to chew a scrap or to rub it directly on teeth and gums.
A spectacular result for a radiant smile.
Its taste is a little bit bitter but it’s quickly forgotten when we know that it contributes to the prevention of cavities and fight against ulcers.

Another way of using the souak:
Reduce it in powder by mixing it with the dried lemon bark. This powder is immediately usable.
Very used since the antiquity and of still nowadays it has showed its ability to make a healthy mouth and a brilliant white smile.
