V last years scientists around the world are increasingly raising the issue of the negative impact of synthetic materials on human health. It is impossible to ignore such statements of scientists, because it has been proven that the presence of synthetic thread in clothes, bed linen, etc. disturbs the body's natural heat transfer.

Synthetic fabrics have low hygroscopicity, due to which the moisture that is released from human skin, poorly absorbed into the fibers, clogs air pores, impedes air circulation, and reduces the thermal insulation properties of the fabric.

Synthetics are characterized by a long retention of unpleasant odors, they are washed worse. Such fabrics are electrostatic. Volatile components of chemical fibers, including toxic ones, can be released for several months when ironing clothes.

People suffering from allergies, skin diseases, eczema or psoriasis are contraindicated in synthetic fabrics. And poor quality material can cause dermatitis even in a healthy person. Synthetic fabrics have been proven to be a serious hazard to human health. Scientific studies have revealed that synthetic bedding contains a high concentration of fungal microorganisms. For asthmatics and allergy sufferers, such underwear is especially dangerous. Also, in synthetic pillows, the concentration of fungus and mold is 2-3 times higher than in feather pillows. In addition, in mattresses that have served for more than 5 years, the level of these organisms exceeds the permissible norm by 3 times.

Substances that make up synthetic fabric can cause irritation, redness, itching, and even an asthmatic attack. Most researchers consider the most dangerous and little-studied factor in the harm of synthetics to humans is static electricity penetrating synthetic fabrics. The basis of the negative effect of static electricity of synthetic tissues on the human body is the neuroreflex mechanism. The action of static electricity is expressed in direct irritation of the sensitive nerve endings of the skin, or irritation occurs a second time, due to the polarization of cellular elements and changes in ionic ratios in tissues. Irritation of sensitive nerve endings causes a reaction of the whole organism: skin sensitivity changes, capillary blood flow is stimulated, vascular tone changes, a number of systemic changes are observed, including changes in the central nervous system. People exposed to static electricity for a long time complain of increased fatigue, irritability, poor sleep, etc. Objectively, there is a tendency to arterial hypertension, bradycardia, which indicates spasm and dystonia of blood vessels. In addition, synthetic fabric does not allow the body to breathe: in the process of movement, the body heats up, normal heat transfer is disrupted, and sweating increases. Such clothing does not allow moisture to pass through - it is waterproof: the sweat that is released by the body does not evaporate from the fabric of the clothing, but lingers between the body and clothing. There is an effect of a steam bath, only while doing soaring in one's own sweat, alkalis, fats and acids that are released along with it.

Of course, underwear made from synthetic fabrics or from fabrics with the addition of synthetic fibers has its advantages: it does not wrinkle, it is easy to wash, plus the low cost of products. However, it is necessary to take into account its shortcomings, namely: synthetic fabric does not breathe and can cause allergies, against the backdrop of a general enthusiasm for the environment, this is especially important.

Chemical fibers are made both in the form of threads of infinite length (silk, cord), and in the form of a cut bundle (staple). They are divided into artificial (viscose, acetate fibers, etc.) and synthetic (polyamide, polyester, polyacrylonitrile, etc.).

Artificial fibers are obtained by chemical processing of natural polymers, mainly cellulose. The main raw material in the production of viscose, copper-ammonia and acetate fibers is wood and cotton cellulose. In the production of synthetic fibers, products of oil, coal and natural gas processing are used, which are then polymerized. The adverse effect of chemical fibers is mainly due to the presence of intermediate substances released into the air of industrial premises.

In production viscose fibers cellulose is treated with carbon disulfide and fibers are spun from solutions of cellulose xanthate in alkali (viscose). The air of chemical shops contains vapors of carbon disulfide, and in the spinning and finishing shops, in addition, hydrogen sulfide, which is released during the neutralization of viscose.

Upon receipt copper-ammonia fibers spinning solutions are prepared by mixing cellulose with an aqueous solution of ammonia, basic copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide. Occupational hazards are emitted ammonia vapors.

Acetate fibers are esters of cellulose and acetic acid. In their production, acetic anhydride is used, acetic acid, and as solvents for the preparation of spinning solutions - acetone and methylene chloride. When spinning fiber wet method methanol or aqueous solutions of acetone are used. Most of these substances can pollute the air in industrial premises.

In production polyamide fiber capron (nylon, perlon, silon) the feedstock is the monomer subjected to polymerization - caprolactam, and in the production of anide fiber (nylon 66, perlon T) - the so-called AG salt. Vapors and aerosols of caprolactam, hexamethylenediamine, as well as a mixture of diphenyl and diphenyl oxide, used as a high-boiling coolant, are emitted into the air of industrial premises.

Symptoms of intoxication with nylon fibers are characterized by irritating and toxic effects. Complaints of headache, irritability, fatigue, sweating, loss of appetite, sleep disturbance, memory loss, weight loss, sometimes "flashing" in the eyes when changing body position, pain in the heart. Objectively: asthenovegetative syndrome with symptoms of hypotonic neurocirculatory dystonia. Functional disorders of the liver, disorders of the secretory and acid-forming functions of the stomach. Dermatitis. Workers in the production of kapron fiber have menstrual irregularities.

Polyester fibers of lavsan (terylene, dacron) obtained from polyethylene terephthalate. The raw materials are dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol. During the production process, diglycol ester of terephthalic acid and methyl alcohol are formed.

Symptoms of intoxication: vegetative-vascular dysfunction, sometimes in combination with vegetative-sensitive polyneuritis. Tendency to arterial hypertension. Liver dysfunction, tendency to anemia and leukopenia.

In the manufacture nitron fibers (orlon, acrylan, PAN, volcrilon) polyacrylonitrile obtained from acrylonitrile is used, and dimethylformamide is used as a polymer solvent. Vapors of dimethylformamide are released into the air of industrial premises, which has irritating properties, and also affects the central nervous system and parenchymal organs.

The air in industrial premises may contain vapors of acrylonitrile, as well as dimethylformamide. Among the workers, functional diseases of the nervous system are common (more often vegetative-vascular dysfunction, less often asthenovegetative syndrome, neurasthenic syndrome); possible diencephalic pathology. Myocardial dystrophy, gastritis; moderate hypochromic anemia, reticulocytopenia. This pathology may be partly due to the action of dimethylformamide.

Vinol fiber production (vinylon, curalon) based on the processing of polyvinyl alcohol into threads. The occupational hazard of this production is formaldehyde, which is used to make the fiber resistant to water treatments.

Today, when technological progress is moving by leaps and bounds, environmental issues are acute. As you know, the human body is a kind of energy-information object, which is influenced by various frequencies, vibrations, waves and other factors. Even what we wear directly affects our physical and spiritual condition. However, unfortunately, not everyone knows how synthetic clothing affects the human body.

It is known that the composition of the fabric and its colors, in contact with the body, transfer a certain energy. The main problem is clothing created from unnatural, artificial synthetic fabrics.
TYPES OF FABRICS

According to the type of raw materials, all fabrics are divided into three groups: synthetic, artificial and natural.

NATURAL MATERIALS are fabrics that are made from fibers of animal and vegetable origin, such as linen, cotton, jute, hemp, wool, silk and others.

ARTIFICIAL MATERIALS include fabrics derived from natural organic substances, such as proteins and cellulose, as well as from inorganic substances, such as metal and glass. These fabrics include acetate, viscose and fabric with the addition of lurex and metal thread.

SYNTHETIC FABRICS are produced from chemical polymer yarns as a result of a chemical synthesis process. It can be polyamide fabrics, such as chemlon, capron, dederon, silon; polyester fabrics - slotter, tesil, diolen; polyvinyl and polypropylene fabrics - cashmere, dralon; polyolefin fabrics - polypropylene, as well as polyurethane fabrics such as spandex. Synthetic fibers include nylon and capron. There is also man-made viscose fiber, fiberglass and asbestos.

For the production of synthetic fabrics, high-molecular compounds are used, such as polymers obtained by synthesis from low-molecular natural substances, such as oil and coal. From this we can draw a disappointing conclusion that synthetic and artificial fabric is a dead material that even nature has not learned to decompose, which means that there are very big doubts about the suitability of such materials.

HARM OF SYNTHETIC FABRIC

Synthetic fabrics are made using coal, oil, glass, chemicals and dyes, which have a rather negative effect on the human body.

Artificial synthetic matter practically eliminates the presence of pores, which significantly limits the access of air, thereby disrupting the free communication of the human body with the outside world. It is known that it is through natural communication that a person can be charged with primary energy. It should be noted that synthetic fabrics cover and block the natural exit of moisture from the body, which is a rather important process of life.

Clothing made from synthetic fabrics accumulates static electricity, causing dust to stick to such clothing, which can cause electric shock and generate sparks. One can only assume with horror all the consequences of wearing such electric charges on one's body.

It should be noted that artificial synthetic fabric is not able to conduct heat, so synthetics do not cool the human body in summer and do not warm it in winter.

Synthetic fibers are created in the laboratory without the help of the sun, air, water and earth, so such fabrics are considered inanimate and have nothing to do with living matter. Synthetics are not energetically protected, since they do not have their own personal energy, which is born exclusively in natural conditions.

CLOTHES FROM NATURAL MATERIALS

There are a lot of natural fabrics. The most common among them are: linen, cotton, silk, wool, jute, hemp, agave, ramie, abaca, nettle, kenaf, as well as bamboo fiber fabrics. Natural fabric has a positive effect on the human body, allowing the body to enjoy the sun's rays, air and contact with all nature. source natural materials are living natural cells that breathe and pulsate, preserving the natural structure and interacting with the natural elements of the surrounding world. Natural fabrics do not impose any destructive programs on the human body, while giving away part of the natural heat and energy.

COTTON PROPERTIES

Cotton is one of the most popular and commonly used materials for tailoring, as it is considered hygienic, absorbs water well, is breathable and has a warming effect. At all stages of its growth, cotton interacts with the energy of the earth, water, sun and air, absorbing all the vibrations of nature from birth.

Cotton fabric is hygroscopic, therefore it is able to breathe, having a positive effect on human skin.

PROPERTIES OF LINEN

Linen fibers are extracted from the skin of flax stalks, which, like cotton, lives in the rhythm of nature, absorbing all its energy in order to subsequently transfer it through clothes.

Linen products are washed well enough, are highly hygienic, have the ability to absorb moisture and maintain the optimum temperature at any time of the year. Flax is also widely used in medicine, as it is an excellent bactericidal agent.

PROPERTIES OF SILK

Silk is obtained from the cocoons of the silkworm. The density and quality of the fabric depends on the type of caterpillars and the leaves they feed on. The silkworm cocoon is a skein of thread, capable of reaching 1 kilometer, and natural glue. In order to unwind such a skein, the cocoon is lowered into a container of hot water, which allows the thread to be freely pulled out. Since one thread is too thin, 8-10 such threads are taken, which stick together when wound, forming raw silk.

This is the only natural fabric with such amazing thermoregulating properties: in the heat it pleasantly cools the body, provides good breathability, and warms in winter. That is, natural silk things can be worn all year round. All silk fabrics absorb moisture from the surface human body equal to half their own weight and still remain dry. Silk fabric is very durable, pleasant to the touch, soft fabric, with good wear resistance.

Choosing things to update the wardrobe, we rarely think about how safe they are for the body. As a rule, the main selection criteria are the aesthetics of the thing and its price. It is not surprising that then an allergy of unknown origin is found in the form of a constant runny nose or a rash on the body.

Is it worth buying clothes made of synthetics, and how to choose them with the least risk to health?

The composition of synthetic fabrics for clothing and underwear

The very first artificial fibers became known in 1900, when the synthesis of petroleum products was first carried out and polymers were obtained, on the basis of which they began to produce synthetic clothing. The first patent was issued in the 30s of the 20th century, and already in 1938 the industrial production of such clothes began.

And, if in the 60s synthetics were perceived by us as a cheap substitute for high-quality natural fabric, today, when buying synthetics, we may not even notice this.

Fibers of synthetic and natural cotton fabrics

The composition of synthetic clothing - what are our dresses and tights made of?

New technologies are regularly introduced in the production of artificial threads.

Moreover, today not only oil refining products, but also components of metals, coal and even natural gas are turned into bright fabrics. For 2017, more than several thousand fibers of chemical composition have been invented!

All synthetic fabrics, according to their chemical structure, are divided into ...

• heterochain (note - from carbon, sulfur and chlorine, fluorine, nitrogen and oxygen): polyamide and polyester fabrics, as well as polyurethane.
• Carbochain (note - from carbon atoms): polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene, polyacrylonitrile and polyvinyl alcohol.

In total, today there are more than 300 types of synthetics, but most often we find things from the following materials on store shelves:

• Lycra(note - polyurethane synthetics). In trade, the names spandex and neolan, elastane and dorlastan are also used. Features: ability to reversibility of mechanical deformations (stretching and return to the initial state); loss of elasticity with a strong increase in temperature. It should be noted that polyurethane threads are not used in their pure form. As a rule, they are used as a basis, stringing other fibers on top. Such things do not crumple, retain elasticity, color and shape, "breathe", resistant to abrasion.
• Kapron(note - polyamide synthetics). The names used in trade are helanka and jordan, platform and taslan, as well as meryl and anid. The most popular representatives of this group are nylon and capron. The latter, by the way, once replaced the silk used for parachute fabrics. Polyamide threads are used in the production of tights and leggings. The presence of nylon and capron in the fabric by only 10% significantly increases the strength of the fabric, and without compromising hygienic characteristics. Features: does not rot, keeps its shape, has lightness and high strength, has low resistance to high temperatures, does not hold heat, does not absorb moisture, accumulates static electricity.
• Lavsan(note - polyester synthetics). Trade names: tergal and dacron, polyester and lavsan, trevira and terylene. Such fibers are often used in the production of curtains or, with the addition of natural fibers, to create suit fabrics, coats or faux fur. Features: wear resistance, high temperature resistance.
• Acrylic(note - polyacrylonitrile synthetics). Or faux fur. Trade names: nitron and acrylan, dolan and kashmilon, orlon and dralon. Used for furniture fabric, faux fur, mattresses. Features: resistance to fading and high temperatures, no pilling, lightness and strength.
• Dynema and spectrum (note - polyolefin synthetics). Trade names: meraklon and found, spectrum and ulstrene, herculon and tekmilon. Used for sportswear, upholstery, tarpaulins and carpets. And also for socks and underwear with the addition of natural fibers. Features: lightness, low hygroscopicity, high thermal insulation, almost zero extensibility, low temperature stability.
• PVC synthetic. Commercial names: vignon and chlorine, teviron. Used for tailoring overalls, faux fur / leather, carpets. Features: resistance to aggressive "chemistry", instability to the effects of temperatures, shrinkage after temperature / processing, low electrical conductivity.
• Polyvinyl alcohol synthetic. It includes mtilan and vinylon, curalon and vinol, vinalon. It is used for the production of underwear and socks together with viscose and cotton; for surgical sutures, home textiles, sportswear, etc. Features: strength and resistance to light and temperatures, high hygroscopicity, low resistance to chemical attack.

It happens (and, unfortunately, not infrequently) that manufacturers, in pursuit of cheaper products, change the technological process, or even use prohibited components. There were cases when, as a result of examination, carcinogens and formaldehydes were found in clothes, which exceeded the norm by 900 times.

There are many cases in Russia when children and adults suffered from low-quality synthetics.

Therefore, when choosing clothes made of synthetics manufacturer should also be taken into account.(you should not buy synthetic things "for a penny" in the transition or in the market around the corner).

Cons of synthetic clothing - how can synthetic clothing or underwear harm?

The maximum allowable rate of synthetics in the composition of the fabric - no more than 30%.

What are the disadvantages of synthetic fabrics?

1. Build up static electricity. It seems to be a trifle - crackling, sparks, but according to studies, static electricity has negative consequences for both the nervous system and the heart. And then we wonder why the head hurts, sleep is disturbed and pressure jumps.
2. Rapid contamination of tissues by microorganisms. Many do not know that spores of fungi and mold grow very quickly between the fibers of synthetics, which, if they get on the mucous membranes, cause serious diseases. This is one of the reasons why gynecologists recommend buying underwear made exclusively from natural fabrics.
3. Cause dermatitis, itching, allergies. And if there are harmful components in the composition, they can cause serious diseases, including asthma, chronic allergies, and so on.
4. Low hygroscopicity. That is, low quality of moisture absorption. Given that the skin tends to produce sweat that needs to evaporate somewhere, this quality of synthetics is one of the reasons to refuse it. With such properties of the fabric, a convenient environment is created for the reproduction of harmful bacteria with all the ensuing consequences.
5. Violation of the body's natural heat exchange and lack of adequate ventilation.
6. Accumulation of bad odors (pretty fast).
7. Poor quality wash.
8. Long-term release of volatile components of fibers , including toxic ones, when ironing clothes. Such components can stand out during the year.

To whom is synthetic contraindicated?

• First of all, allergy sufferers.
• Asthmatics.
• People with skin problems.
• Children, expectant and nursing mothers.
• Cancer patients.
• At .

It should be noted that the most low-quality and cheap items of clothing, consisting of synthetics, have mainly these shortcomings. completely or 100%.

Pros of Synthetic Clothing - When can synthetic clothing be more useful than natural fabrics?

Are there quality synthetics?

Yes, there is.

We can say more: modern fabrics made of synthetic fibers, for the most part, are hypoallergenic, and have a lot of advantages:

1. Health safety.
2. High strength.
3. Long service life without loss of quality.
4. Breathable fabric composition.
5. Moisture absorption and accelerated evaporation.
6. The presence of granules with antibacterial, tonic or even fat burning properties.
7. Wear resistance.
8. Resistant to rot, fungus or pest infestation.
9. Persistence of color and shape.
10. Ease.
11. Fast drying.

Modern synthetics does not stretch or shrink, does not wrinkle and is easy to wash. It serves for years, and the presentation of the product remains original.

Of course, such things are not cheap, and a thin artificial silk blouse can hit the wallet for 5000-6000 rubles.

However, things that are “closer to the body”, it is still recommended to choose from natural fabrics, but for outerwear Synthetics will work too.

Learning to choose synthetic clothes - the basic rules for choosing and caring for synthetic clothes

Even 15-20 years ago, we did not particularly care about the dangers of synthetics for the body, with pleasure buying bright blouses, dresses and children's tights with suits that flooded the shelves.

Today, even children know about the dangers of synthetics, and doctors are sounding the alarm due to the increase in the number of allergy sufferers and other victims of low-quality materials (including Chinese dishes, building materials, etc.).

How to choose things from synthetics to protect your health?

• We study the label. The minimum proportion of natural fibers in the composition is 70%. If synthetics are more than 30%, we put the thing back on the shelf and look for another one.
• Evaluate appearance - we are looking for a marriage, we check the thing for smell, we analyze the paint on the fabric. In the presence of bad smell from a thing - we boldly refuse it. Remember that washing will not get rid of toxic components in the composition of the fabric - they will be released every time you wash, iron, etc.
• Consider seasonality. A fleece sweatshirt keeps heat well and is suitable for the winter, and a nylon raincoat for a rainy autumn, but in summer synthetics are completely useless and even contraindicated.
• Purpose of a thing. Anything that comes in constant contact with your skin should be 100% or at least 70% natural fibers. That is, socks, underwear, T-shirts and shorts are only natural. Synthetic pajamas are also a bad option. But for sports, high-quality synthetics are simply irreplaceable. Moreover, modern synthetic fabrics not only retain air exchange and regulate heat transfer, but also absorb sweat, thanks to special microfibers and impregnations. Of the leaders in the quality of such clothing, Puma and Adidas, Riok, Lotto and Umbro can be noted. As for outerwear, it can also consist entirely of synthetics. The main thing is that you sweat in it.

And of course, focus only on trusted manufacturers who value their reputation.

Wool has warming properties, is good for the liver and kidneys, and helps against fatigue. Wool preserves the primary structure of pets, it has a positive effect on human energy and even enhances it.

What was worn in Russia thousands of years ago

They burn, the new is the well-forgotten old. Let's take a look into the chests of our great-great-great-grandmothers - would their design ideas be useful to us?

Clothing in ancient times performed not only a purely utilitarian function, many traditions were associated with it. Already in the most ancient period (10-12 centuries) in the costume of Russian women there was a division into underwear and overdress. Underwear - "shirt" was made from linen, bleached and unbleached.

Outerwear was loose and long. It consisted of a straight, often belted, dress, complemented by a cape-cloak trimmed with a border. Cloaks ("hila" or "riza") were made of silk. The clothes of noble women were multicolored: blue, brown, green, green-yellow. The most favorite color in the costume of all classes was red, the color - "amulet".
They decorated clothes with pearls and "alamomi" - silver and gold chased plaques, trimmed with gold thread embroidery.

In the cold season, women wore furs. The wealthy made the edge of the dress from ermine skins, the richest could afford knee-length ermine lining. Fur coats were sewn from the skins of wolverine, beaver, squirrel, sable, fox, worn with great frugality and passed from mother to daughter.

A mandatory addition to any costume was a headdress. The tradition of covering the head came from pagan times, when a covered head meant protecting a woman and her loved ones from "evil forces." female hair considered dangerous to others. It is from here that the tradition of Orthodox women comes - not to go to church with an uncovered head.

The headdress corresponded to the family and social status of ancient Russian women. The girls wore a braid or loose hair, the crown was always open. Girls' headdresses: a crown (a narrow strip of metal or fabric fastened at the back of the head), a koruna (a more intricately decorated rim). The most ancient ones - ubruses and povoi - completely covered their heads. Later, crowns - kokoshniks or kiki - were put on over the povoy, in winter - a hat with a fur band. The front part of the kiki - the ochelle - was decorated with pearls, embroidery or precious stones.

properties of various fabrics.

Wool has warming properties, good for the liver and kidneys, helps against fatigue. Wool retains the primary structure of pets, it has a positive effect on human energy and even enhances it. The thicker and rougher wool fabric, the more energy it has.

Woolen fabrics suitable for people who are indecisive, insecure, as well as weakened, sick. It is useful to wear woolen things, socks from camel hair covered with a woolen blanket. The body will be supported energetically both day and night.
Cotton also warms, its sunny and soft nature allows the use of cotton fabrics for making linen. Cotton is suitable for everyone. It brings the energy of calmness. Cotton fabric perfectly absorbs the excessive negative energy of the body. Therefore, it is good to dress in cotton clothes when we are sick or doing manual labor. Wear at least cotton underwear and change it often, washing it in cold water, as this neutralizes what the cotton fabric has collected in itself ..

linen canvases saturated with the life-giving power of the Sun, Earth and Water, therefore, since ancient times they have been used for underwear and bed linen. Scientists have proven that the use of linen clothes prevents a number of diseases, since linen has rare bacteriological properties - neither bacteria nor fungus get along on it. This absolutely pure ecological fabric is a natural antiseptic. Linen kills microbes, infections, suppresses harmful microflora, wounds under linen bandages heal faster. Flax contains silica, which inhibits the development of bacteria.

Sleep on linen sheets increases the content of immunoglobulin A in the blood, which restores the immune system.

Linen, perhaps it has the strongest energy of all materials. It awakens in a person a feeling of calm concentration, thoughtfulness and measuredness. Psychotherapists are convinced that flax fibers protect a person from depression, neurosis, and mental disorders. Therefore, flax is relevant right now, in times of constant stress.

Linen is favorable for harmonization with nature. However, when communicating with a client at work or in a controversial situation, linen creates problems with concentration. Linen, to some extent, serves as an insulating material in interactions between people. Everything seems to slide off the linen, without damaging its purity. This property protects us, if not from a direct blow, then completely from the general energy pressure. Therefore, it is useful to wear linen not only at work, but also in crowded places, linen is the perfect clothing for being in a crowd.

Natural silk- a child of the East, clothes from it are moderately warm. According to beliefs, it strengthens the body, banishes worries from the heart, enlightens the mind, and also sharpens eyesight.
Silk has a beneficial effect on the nervous system and human performance. It helps to better concentrate thoughts, and therefore it is best to do creative work and meditation in silk clothes.

When people believed in the evil eye, those who could afford it also wore silk clothes as a shield, because it has natural protective properties to protect the energy body from evil influences.
Therefore, in China, the birthplace of silk, various symbols of amulets are woven into its texture, and it is from this fabric that not only underwear is made, but also outerwear, especially for those who work with people. After bathing, ancient Chinese women always wiped their face and neck with silk and slept on pillows with a pillowcase woven from it. It is recommended to wear silk clothes for those who often suffer from angina, as well as for those who suffer from arthritis, dermatitis and allergies. Silk bandages on wrists and knees relieve joint pain. Silk pajamas relieve insomnia, because the touch of this fabric relaxes and soothes. Silk bedding is useful. it is hypoallergenic, pillows and blankets stuffed with silkworm cocoons do not start bed dust mites and saprophytes, which, according to doctors, teem with feather pillows. Silk blankets improve sleep, increase vitality and restore youth. Holes in silk help to keep warm and keep cold out. Silk blanket has the ability to calm the human nervous system and reduce the influence of external factors on it. The blanket can not only prevent insomnia, but also completely eliminate daytime fatigue, so under such a blanket people relax better and get up more rested.

A fabric made from hemp fibers. Such a fabric does not lose its appearance when washed, and with prolonged use it exhibits additional properties: it becomes more active and retains the positive qualities of hemp - it refreshes, removes toxins, blocks the development of pathogenic microbes, does not interfere with the metabolic processes of the skin .. the fabric does not stretch, keeping the shape of the thing. It contributes to the natural heat exchange of the body: it retains heat in winter, and easily gives it away in summer. Almost never misses ultraviolet radiation(reflects 95%) Hemp fabric completely destroys bad smell sweat, as an indispensable attribute of the active life of pathogenic organisms.

In addition, hemp clothing does not accumulate static electricity at all, which negatively affects the functioning of the human cardiovascular system. With constant use, the fabric reveals additional healing properties of hemp as a medicinal plant.

Living hemp tissue has a refreshing and softening effect on the human body, toning it and having a beneficial effect on the work of the whole organism during the day.
During heavy physical exertion, the body receives additional support in the recovery period, quickly replenishing energy costs.
It is noticed that hemp fabric has an analgesic and calming effect.

nettle fabric able to protect a person from evil spells and the evil eye, as well as heal from various diseases.

Not without reason, socks were knitted from nettle yarn, which were worn for rheumatic pains and belts used for sciatica and migraine. The kings were woven bed linen from nettle fibers, which was distinguished by its special softness and strength.

Rugs for the hallway were woven from nettles in order to deprive the evil power of a guest entering the house.
Clothes made from nettle are medicinal. It restores the correct flow of energy in the body. Therefore, nettle was used for weakening and impotence.
nettle fabric- it is a protector, a talisman. It protects from external and internal aggressive energy. Before, thanks to her useful qualities and fortresses, products made from nettle fibers were actively used both in the palaces of the nobility and in the houses ordinary people. Fortunately, modern craftswomen have again remembered this wonderful plant and are ready to return it to its former glory. The Italian Fashion House Corpo Nove has begun the production of nettle clothes. The first fabrics were made from German nettles from the banks of the Rhine. Nettle jackets and jeans are a resounding success.

Artificial fabrics are made from fibers made from natural gas, oil, coal, cellulose, glass, metals ... Nowadays, artificial fabrics are becoming more and more like natural ones - they are breathable, pleasant to the body soft in texture. The undoubted advantages of synthetic fabrics are that they retain the shape of the product and almost do not wrinkle.

Viscose. It is obtained from wood pulp by chemical means. A lot of people think that this is a natural fabric, probably because viscose has many of the advantages that are characteristic of natural materials - anti-allergic properties, good breathability, pleasant tactile qualities. But there are also disadvantages - quick wear, the fabric is easily torn, especially when wet and wrinkled a lot. It can be advised to purchase products from such viscose, which has a silky smooth finish, therefore it is more durable and better retains an attractive appearance.

Acrylic. This is a synthetic fiber, the raw material for which is extracted from natural gas. In appearance, acrylic is very reminiscent of wool - the same plastic and soft, it retains heat well, which is why acrylic is sometimes called "artificial wool". However, acrylic does not allow air to pass through enough, after washing it loses its elasticity, significantly stretches and wrinkles. The combination of acrylic with wool or mohair is optimal - then the spool will be smaller, and the deformation of the product is less pronounced. Acrylic may be referred to as PAN.

Polyamide. This is a highly elastic synthetic, products from which do not wear out for a long time due to strong fibers, while retaining their original shape perfectly. Polyamide is also used for the manufacture of underwear, tights, stockings, leggings, and is also part of outerwear. The most famous varieties of polyamide are nylon, taslan, jordan. Nylon is the most practical, easy to clean and dries quickly, while taslan and jordan are designed for improved hygiene in terms of breathability and water repellency. The disadvantages of polyamide fibers are that they do not retain heat well, do not absorb moisture and are very electrified. But still, a spectacular appearance, strength, durability and washing, bending - all these pluses also deserve attention. It is desirable that the polyamide fibers in the product be no more than 10%.

fleece. Synthetic pile material made of polyester. Fleece remarkably retains heat, light, elastic, strong and durable. Manufacturers have already fallen in love with this material for the manufacture of warm sportswear, tourist clothing, warm children's clothing. Fleece can be one-sided - thermal underwear, shirts, and double-sided. Can be used as lining fabric. To improve the water-repellent properties, fleece is treated with a special agent (for example, for sewing fleece demi-season jackets).

Polartec. New fabrics, more than 150 types, developed by the American corporation MALDEN MILLS. High-tech Polartec fabrics are designed specifically for various kinds sports and outdoor activities, resemble tight-knit knitwear. It is 100% polyester with a thick pile, sometimes with the addition of cotton, lycra, wool, nylon or rayon. Strong, durable sweaters, jumpers, turtlenecks, jackets that do not absorb odors, perfectly retain their shape and color, are obtained from polartek; this polartek is superior to wool and other natural fibers. And at the same time, breathable properties and heat retention are not worse than those of wool. These new fabrics do not let the wind through at all, the effect of a thermos is obtained - the air inside between the body and the product is heated by body heat and does not cool down.

Membrane. Membrane fabrics appeared not so long ago. The membrane is called the thinnest film or special impregnation, applied on the top layer of the fabric using a special technology. WITH inside this film or impregnation can be protected by another layer of fabric. In clothes and shoes membrane tissue comfortable in any weather, as it does not let moisture through, protects from the wind and at the same time breathes, removes sweat to the outside, keeping warm. There are microporous membranes - they are a film with pores several thousand times smaller than a drop of water, so raindrops cannot pass through these pores, but steam from the body is removed to the outside (for example, Gore-Tex, Porelle). There are hydrophilic membranes - this is a dense film without pores, completely impermeable to water, however, water vapor is removed to the outside (for example, Sympatex, Ultimex, Sofitex, Cyclone, TransActive). There are combined membranes - for example, TriplePoint. Microporous membranes breathe better, hydrophilic membranes stretch better and do not clog with dirt. The disadvantages include the fact that, if there is a water film or ice on the surface of the clothing, the breathability deteriorates sharply. Membranes are actively used in the production of children's outerwear and footwear for outdoor activities.

microfiber. Synthetic material often used in the manufacture of underwear, light casual and sportswear. It has enviable hygienic indicators for synthetics: good heat resistance, while being breathable, in such clothes it is comfortable both in heat and in cold. This material is worn for a long time, looks great - thin, elastic, and at the same time quite durable. Often combined with nylon to increase density.

Elastane. This is a whole group of synthetic fibers, the most common of which is lycra. The main effect of these fibers is to give the product elasticity. The elastane thread is stretched 6-9 times its original length, then returns to its original state again. Usually they are added to the composition of other fabrics. And then things do not crumple, wash well, very practical. Not a single stretch item is complete without elastane - it can be anything from banal tights, underwear to skirts, turtlenecks, dresses.

"Modal"- a special fiber with a high water-repellent effect, containing 100% cellulose isolated from beech wood pulp. The fabric recreates all the natural properties of cotton, but unlike the latter, it does not wrinkle. "Modal" does not contain harmful impurities. Its tensile strength is higher than that of viscose, and in terms of hygroscopicity it surpasses cotton (almost 1.5 times). Fabrics with "Modal" remain soft and elastic even after repeated washings. This happens due to the fact that smooth surface"Modala" does not allow impurities (lime or detergent) stay on the fabric, making it hard to the touch. Products with "Modal" do not require the use of softeners when washing, and retain their original colors and softness, giving a "skin to skin" feeling even after numerous washes. The content of "Modal" in the fabric gives additional sophistication and brilliance.

Synthetic fabrics do not have their own natural charge, no pristine properties, since their fibers are created by people. Nevertheless, artificial fibers have a no less amazing ability to accumulate an induced field, both positive and negative properties. Therefore, the same fabric can be both harmful and useful for you.
Oddly enough, but we cannot charge our own thing that we wear. To do this, someone must act from the side while the thing is being worn on you. You yourself seem to be isolated from the thing put on you, but almost any stranger or close person can tell her the charge.

Ask someone close to you who is kind to you to touch your clothes when they are already on you, thus charging them with positive energy towards you, which will serve as good enough protection for a while.
Having accepted the program, synthetics further perceives only what is within the boundaries of such a program. And so it continues until the first wash. published
