A PLANT which is traditionally used by the Bidayuh community as a toothbrush and mouthwash in the old days was among the unique items displayed at the recent state-level Sejiwa Senada programme at SK Perbandaran No. 3 in Sibu.
“Kayu Bebi” was traditionally used by the Bidayuh in Kpg Semadang in Penrissen for oral care, said Asha D Kaushal, communications officer of the Sarawak Biodiversity Centre (SBC).
She said apart from using it as a toothbrush, the Bidayuh actually boiled the plant for mouthwash as well.
