"Pako" The Yoruba oral daily chewing stick



 "Pako" known as chewing stick in English is an ancient method for oral hygiene by the Yoruba people. The natural twig is known for its health and medicinal benefits. It is safe for children as well.


Pako has anti bacterial properties that have  saved people from tooth decay, plaque and worse. Research has shown that those who use Pako regularly have better dental hygiene and require less visits to the dentist than those who use toothpaste and powders.


Pako is derived from the stems and roots of bitter kola, guava, orange, walnut etc. Its organic as it grows naturally infused with minerals and anti oxidants.

Grateful also to our ancestors for leaving such an effective system of oral hygiene. A project for the incoming Yoruba nation.
