In an era where sustainability is paramount, the world of textiles is witnessing a remarkable transformation. Healing fibres, once seen solely as agents of physical and emotional well-being, have now emerged as trailblazers in the realm of sustainability. From ancient practices rooted in tradition to cutting-edge technological advancements, these fibres are orchestrating a symphony of sustainability that resonates with our planet. Welcome to the harmonious world where the vibrational frequency of fabrics meets Earth!

Unveiling the Universal Nexus of History and Science

Renowned Nobel laureate, Dr. Otto Heinrich Warburg, conducted pioneering research that unveiled distinctive frequency patterns associated with the average human.1 According to his findings, a healthy individual exhibits a signature frequency range between 70 and 90.

Intriguingly, frequencies below 50 were correlated with chronic diseases, while numbers below 15 were specifically linked to individuals diagnosed with incurable conditions like cancer. Dr. Warburg’s discoveries illuminated the intricate relationship between frequency patterns and human health, potentially offering insights into the diagnosis and treatment of various ailments.

In 2003, Dr. Heidi Yellen, an exceptional medical professional, led an extensive investigation exploring fabric frequencies and their impact on the human body. This research serves as valuable supportive information to Dr. Warburg’s work. The study revealed that both the human body and organic cotton possess a signature frequency of 100. It highlighted that frequencies below 100 place strain on the body. Conversely, fabrics such as polyester, rayon, and silk, registering at approximately 15, align with individuals suffering from illnesses or deadly conditions. She also found that non-organic cotton resonates at a frequency of around 70.

Enter the extraordinary properties of linen, also known as flax, a fabric boasting a remarkable frequency of 5,000. Similarly, wool also resonates at 5,000. However, when linen and wool are combined, their frequencies nullify each other, resulting in a frequency of zero. Fabrics with higher frequencies possess the ability to energise the body, aligning with the law of vibration.

Looking back through history, the Latin term for flax, a highly versatile plant, carries the profound meaning of ‘being most useful.’2 Although the process of separating fibres from plant stems remains shrouded in mystery, historical records vividly depict the significance of flax as a major textile in ancient Egypt.  Moreover, throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, linen emerged as a primary fibre in Europe, finding extensive use in clothing. Russia, too, held a strong connection to linen, with the fibre playing a crucial role in its economy during different periods of its political history. In fact, flax became Russia’s leading export item and served as the cornerstone of its economic activity from the late 1800s well into the twentieth century. In addition to ‘being most useful’, this linguistic connection gains essence as we delve into religious texts, where the holy scriptures distinctly highlight flax as the favoured fabric for sacred garments, granting it elevated status over all other available materials. A notable example of this emphasis can be found in Revelation 19:8, which mentions the attire of righteousness bestowed upon a figure, stating, “And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.”3

Reconnecting Forgotten Testimonies to Empower Today’s Sustainable Fashion Movement

Reflecting on the imminent sharing of these testimonies, it becomes imperative that the message from the immense cosmos, which is frequently overlooked by humanity, has remained omnipresent and impactful throughout, especially in the textile industry.

In the previously mentioned research by Dr. Yellen, a multitude of individuals have shared their personal experiences, showcasing the extraordinary healing benefits derived from the use of 100 per cent linen fabric. These firsthand accounts illuminate the transformative effects of wearing linen garments and using linen bandages, which effectively alleviate post-injury or post-surgical pain, all without the need for prescription or over-the-counter medications.

“It is the suggestion to plant a lot of hemp in the land of Fukushima. Hemp is prohibited in almost all places in the world, but I am supporting the movement for hemp to revive…I think it has the…potentiality to purify the environment…I believe hemp fields will bring the eradication effect” – Dr. Masaru Emoto wrote to all his dear friends in 2012 about the fast-growing nature and facilitative qualities of hemp as a solution to the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster.4

Fortuitously, there is a wide array of materials beyond flax and hemp that possess innate healing and therapeutic properties owing to their energetic frequencies. These include valuable elements5 such as herb extracts like eucalyptus,6 mushrooms,7 aloe vera, and vegetable dyes like indigo and turmeric. It can be deduced that textiles with natural origins and high energetic frequencies are not only more sustainable and helpful but also devoid of harm, underlining the importance of embracing such materials in our pursuit of sustainable practices.

The ‘Death Fibres’

Despite certain advancements in textiles within the modern fashion industry, we continue to witness the prevalence of ‘death fibres’ that possess low energy, which also signifies incurable diseases and life-threatening conditions. Examples of these ‘death fibres’ encompass rayon, derived from wood pulp or bamboo, with an energy level of up to 15. Additionally, polyester, derived from petroleum, carries an energy level of up to 10, while spandex, Lycra, elastane, and nylon—constructed from synthetic polyurethane and polymers—also fall within the energy range of up to 15. Silk, with an energy level of up to 15, is obtained from silkworm cocoons, which are boiled, inadvertently including the worms, in order to extract the fibres.

The problem associated with these ‘death fibres’ resonates seamlessly with the current being of fast and ultra-fast fashion, which disturbingly leads to profoundly worrisome repercussions for the environment, biodiversity, animals, humanity and social well-being. Research estimates from the European Environmental Agency indicate that an alarming quantity of over 14 million tonnes of microplastics has amassed on the ocean floor worldwide.8 This figure continues to rise annually. Textile-related sources contribute significantly, with an estimated annual input of between 200,000 and 500,000 tonnes of microplastics infiltrating the global marine environment.

A notable attribute of these ‘death fibres’ is their highly flammable nature, necessitating the utilisation of, oftentimes, brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in the melting process.9

Unfortunately, this practice results in detrimental health consequences, including reproductive toxicity, neurological impairments such as autism or lower I.Q., hormonal disruptions, and heightened cancer risks. Furthermore, these fabrics significantly contribute to the release of substantial quantities of microplastics into water bodies inhabited by aquatic species. Because of the complexity of the chemical components, only one per cent of these fibres are recyclable and the remaining 99 per cent of textile waste adds to the accumulation of microplastics in the bodies of these organisms, ultimately making their way into the human food chain.10 This interconnected cycle can be likened to a karmic chain, where the consequences of our actions circle back to impact us.

Practice Mindfulness in Textile Revolution and Consumption

These discoveries provide powerful discernment into the potential influence of fabric frequencies on human well-being. By delving into the world of frequencies and fabrics, a deeper comprehension of the profound connections between human welfare and the materials we encounter emerges, which offers such avenues for further exploration and practical application in multiple facets of sustainable living. Using healing as well as therapeutic fibres with respect, mindfulness, and consciousness shall be an amelioration of the world. It enables us to fulfil a grander purpose of humanity and enjoy a sustainable symphony of healing textiles in our beloved cosmic concert.
