Clothes as medicine and poison: Fascinating facts about the influence of materials on our health
Did you know that what you wear affects your health more than you think? While natural materials such as linen and wool have a beneficial effect on our body, synthetics and artificial dyes can be literally toxic. Let's delve into the secrets of textile fibers and discover how the right clothes can improve our health and mood.
Flax: A super-substance that heals and provides energy
Flax is literally a miracle for our body. It not only cools and wicks away sweat in the summer, but also literally energizes us. Scientific study by Dr. In 2003, Heidi Yellen revealed that flax has an incredibly high frequency energy - up to 5000 angstroms (a unit of energy measurement). That's 50x more than the human body and organic cotton (100 angstroms) and 333x more than synthetics (15 angstroms)!
So wearing linen gives us a similar energy boost as if someone connected us to a charger. It is no wonder that linen has always been considered a sacred fabric and was used for the clothing of priests and kings.
But the benefits of flax do not end there. This amazing material also:
- Protects against bacteria and fungi (antibacterial effects)
- Soothes inflammation and accelerates healing (anti-inflammatory effects)
- Reduces the risk of skin infections and allergies (hypoallergenic)
- Regulates body temperature better than cotton (thermoregulation effect)
In short, linen is the perfect choice for summer clothes and bed linen. Treat yourself to its healing energy and see that you will feel great!
Wool: A warm friend for cold days
When winter comes, he is not above wool. This amazing natural insulation can keep our body warm and dry even on freezing days. Wool can absorb up to 30% of moisture without appearing wet. Our sweat evaporates slowly and we do not feel sweaty or cold.
Like linen, wool has a very high energy frequency of 5000 angstroms. Therefore, wearing wool will not only keep us warm in winter, but also support our overall vitality and immunity. But it is important to know that wool conducts energy in the opposite direction to flax (from left to right). Therefore, these two materials should not be combined - their mixture cancels the beneficial effects, as our ancestors already knew and forbade it in the Bible (prohibition of shatnez).
Synthetics and Dyes: Hidden Health Traps
And now the bad news - most modern clothing is made of synthetic materials such as polyester, nylon or acrylic. Although these artificial substances offer practicality and a low price, they come at a high health toll.
Synthetic fibers have extremely low frequency energy - only 15 angstroms. This corresponds to the vibrations of a seriously ill person! Long-term wearing of synthetics literally drains us and can lead to chronic fatigue, diseases and overall weakening of the organism.
But that's not all - artificial materials too:
- Impermeable and do not allow regulation of temperature and humidity (lead to overheating and sweating)
- Electrostatic and attract dust and dirt (allergens and toxins)
- They often contain harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde or phthalates
- They support the multiplication of bacteria and fungi (odor and infection)
And what about synthetic dyes! Many of them are downright toxic and may contain carcinogenic substances such as arylamines, chromium or formaldehyde. These poisons are released from clothing, penetrate the body through the skin and accumulate in the organs. The consequences can be serious - from allergies and eczema to hormonal disorders and cancer.
Be textile literate - dress healthy!
You might be thinking - ugh, that's scary, so what am I wearing? Don't worry, the solution is easy. Just follow these simple rules:
1. Wear natural materials whenever possible - linen and hemp in summer, wool and silk in winter
2. If you need functional clothing, choose high-quality synthetics with certificates of health and ecological safety (GOTS, Oeko-Tex, Bluesign, etc.)
3. Avoid intense colors and prints, or choose natural dyes (linen is beautiful even undyed!)
4. When washing, use gentle detergents without phosphates, enzymes and optical brighteners
5. Do not put clothes in the dryer unnecessarily - drying in the sun or air is kinder to the fabrics and nature
Do an experiment and try wearing only natural materials for a month. Bet you'll feel the difference in physical and mental well-being! And the next time you buy new clothes, think of it as an investment in your health and the planet.
Because what we wear matters more than it seems at first glance. So let your wardrobe be a pharmacy, not a poison bin. Be textile "literate" and dress smartly and healthily!
