Linen is a natural fiber made from the stalk and root of the same flax plant that produces flax seeds. Flax seeds are not only edible but very beneficial to health (they may reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer), so it logically follows that fabric made from flax plant stalks would also be highly acceptable to the body. Production of flax is both environmentally friendly and sustainable requiring less pesticides and herbicides than what other plants like cotton require.
"Last night the box arrived in good order.. and I love all of it! Your packaging is so pretty and homespun; the fabric is even better than I hoped for. The undies are a good size - nice and loose, and the workmanship - perfection! The quality of your product was worth the extra Christmas-rush wait. I look forward to seeing (and wearing) the t-shirt when it arrives." (Sylvia, Florida)
Linen Historically Linen has been the quality fabric of choice for thousands of years of history. Linen is one of the oldest cultivated fabrics. It has been known as a natural, pure product. In many cultures, the priest garments consisted of pure, white linen.
Linen in the Bible
Who Can Benefit from Linen? Unlike cotton which holds water next to the skin, linen is very effective at absorbing moisture and wicking it away from the body. This is very important for any material worn next to the skin. This is helpful for night sweats, hot flashes, yeast infections, and helping keep toxins away from the skin. The antibacterial effect of linen may help with urinary tract infections. Linen is beneficial in hot temperatures because of its natural cooling effect, and is hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin.
