Which Fabrics Actually Heal You?

Do you know what the clothes you wear are doing to your health?

Back in 2003, a doctor named Heidi Yellen ran an experiment measuring the frequencies of fabric.

According to her research, the human body has a signature frequency of 100.

A signature frequency is the specific sound frequency associated with any living or non-living thing.

Her experiment showed that if a fabric's frequency number is below 100, the fabric actually places a load on the body.

Just so you understand the scale...

A dying person has a signature frequency of 15.

Polyester fabric has a signature frequency of 15.

Non-organic cotton has a signature frequency of about 70.

Organic cotton has a signature frequency of 100.

When a fabric has a higher frequency than the body, it gives the body energy.

Linen is a super-fabric. Its frequency is around 5,000.

Linen is a fiber made from the flax plant, or more precisely, from the cellulose fibers that grow inside the stalks of the flax plant. It's one of the oldest fabrics there is, with a rich and romantic heritage. It was born as a textile in ancient Egypt around 10,000 years ago.

A study I read

In a study conducted in September 2020, researchers confirmed what has been known since ancient times: linen has wonderful properties that promote wound healing.

Linen dressings, made from woven flax fibers, help clean wounds and ulcers and stimulate the growth of blood vessels. The young tissue is strengthened and protected from drying out, and the wound is shielded from mechanical irritation or potential infection. Linen dressings ease the growth of new epithelium (the layer of skin) by maintaining the right level of moisture, thereby protecting the tissue from damage.

The flax fibers that were tested are characterized by a strong ability to clear away damaged cells in potential wounds. The effectiveness of linen dressings has been confirmed by studies and clinical trials that showed wounds shrinking or disappearing, and most importantly, they don't tend to trigger allergies.

There's a lot of logic behind this.

Just like natural food versus processed food: natural food heals the body and processed food harms it. Just like herbal remedies, which are natural to the body and support its healing processes, versus synthetic drugs, which sometimes interfere with the body's natural functioning. In exactly the same way, fabrics either serve us or harm us.

By the way, it turns out that not so long ago, the bedding in hospitals and operating rooms was made of linen specifically to speed up healing.

But today, most hospital bedding is made of synthetic fabrics.

Ever since I came across this subject, I've gotten rid of most of my synthetic clothing and switched to linen bedding. And when I buy clothes now, it has to be cotton, if not linen.

Something to think about.
