Benefits of wearing Linen
-
Thermo-regulating
Highly breathable, linen allows for air circulation, helping to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating, keeping you cool all night for an optimal sleep.
-
Moisture-wicking
Linen absorbs and releases moisture quickly, always feeling fresh and cool, making it perfect for every season.
-
Anti-bacterial
Resistant to bacteria, flax is found to be an effective barrier to some diseases.
Wearing linen clothing has been shown to improve some skin conditions from common rash to chronic eczema. -
Hypo-allergenic
Great for sensitive skin and helpful in treating a number of allergens. Linen is effective in dealing with inflammatory conditions, reducing fever, and providing a healthy air exchange. Some neurological ailments also benefit from the use of linen clothing.
-
Natural
Linen is a natural fabric that is environmentally friendly. Flax plants require less water and fewer pesticides compared to other fiber crops, making it a sustainable choice.
-
Eco-friendly
Linen is biodegradable and has a lower environmental impact compared to synthetic fabrics. Requires 5x less fertilizers and pesticides to grow than cotton.
The Healing Frequency of Linen
What does "frequency" mean?
Energy, light, and matter all exist on a vibrational continuum. A tiny portion of this continuum is the electromagnetic spectrum, and of that spectrum, a tiny portion is visible light. All physical matter consists of vibrating atoms, which we call "energy" or "frequency.". Throughout millennia, human beings have been aware of other energy fields/frequencies which aren't visible to the naked eye. The human body, functioning optimally, is a highly attuned extrasensory instrument-far more perceptive to spectrums of energy than our most advanced technology. When we understand that all physical matter has different vibrational qualities, we can ask, "Is it possible that these different vibrations have positive or negative effects on our health?" Studies have shown that yes.
In 2003, Dr. Heidi Yellen ran a study on the healing frequencies of various fabrics and their effect on the human body. The human body has a naturally occurring electromagnetic field. A healthy body should resonate at approx. 100 hz. A diseased or dying body however only resonates at approx. 15 hz. The study found that synthetic materials such as polyester and nylon also resonate at 15 hz (as surprisingly does silk); and therefore these fibers have a very negative effect on the body - literally resonating at the frequency of disease. Organic cotton resonates at 100 hz and thus it has neither a positive or negative effect on the body. Linen and pure wool however both resonate at a tremendous 5000 hz - that's 50 times the natural frequency of the human body! Thus the healing and positive potential of these fibers on the body is exponential! It seems that civilizations for millennia have known this. For example, linen was a valuable commodity in ancient Egypt, used for clothing and bedding and most importantly for wrapping and preserving mummies! Linen also appears in some form in most religions.
As we subconsciously reach for a cure to our plastic-based, over-consumptive lifestyles, the world's oldest plant-based fiber may just be the detox we modern humans have been looking for.
