Stop wearing nylon and polyester! The frequency of clothing affects our health in ways you can’t imagine…
By Lora O’Brien
How Does Frequency Relate to Clothing?
As mentioned, everything, from the air we breathe to the clothes we wear, is made up of atoms that each vibrate at different speeds. This vibration is what we’re referencing when we refer to ‘frequency’. Frequencies can be scientifically measured and certified.
For example, the human body has a naturally occurring electromagnetic field. And when a body is healthy, it will resonate at 100Hz.
On the other hand, when a body is diseased (or dying) it resonates at a much lower 15Hz. If a human’s vibration goes below 100, it puts a great strain on the body. But if a person wears a fabric with a higher frequency (preferably linen or wool as they’re the highest frequency), energy is actually given back to the body, helping them to heal.
Sound incredible? Maybe. But a 2003 study by Dr Heidi Yellen on the frequencies of fabrics backs this up.
The study was born out of curiosity as to why the Torah (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible) clearly states you should wear certain fabrics above others. Why was that, she wondered?
Biblical Truths
All fabrics have a frequency that they emit which is easily measured in megahertz. Dr Yellen used an Ag-Environ machine for her study. This unique instrument measures the frequencies of fabrics and other items. Its application in Dr. Yellen’s study offered a means to quantify the vibrational qualities of different fabrics in relation to human health.
She found that higher frequency fabrics such as linen, hemp, organic cotton and wool can naturally boost human energy. However, lower frequency synthetics might work in opposition and drain it.
The study also found that synthetic materials such as polyester and nylon resonate at a low 15Hz. In addition, wearing these fabrics can harm the body. This makes sense, since they resonate at the same frequency as some diseases.
As Dr Yellen suspected, this knowledge is nothing new. In fact, as she knew, the benefits of one very high frequency fabric, linen, are mentioned several times in the Bible. The Bible also says not to mix fibres into linen, as this diminishes its potent vibration. To illustrate:
High Frequency Fabrics
Linen
Linen is one of the oldest fabrics, having been used for thousands of years. Many cultures which knew about the frequency of clothing attribute the use of linen as a sign of purity and health. For example, the ancient Egyptians held the belief that the gods came to earth already clothed in linen, and in the New Testament it states: “the seven angels came out of the temple clothed in pure and white linen.”
It’s no surprise that linen was celebrated so greatly! This fabric is breathable and highly absorbent, not to mention that it has a luxurious texture. It repels insects, making it an ideal fabric to use in the warmer months, plus it’s antibacterial, too.
Frequency: Linen has a frequency of 5,000Hz. For context, that’s 50x the natural frequency of the human body. Impressive, right?
Health benefits: The high frequency that linen possesses could impart energy onto the wearer, boosting their vitality and wellbeing. Linen has also been celebrated due to its natural healing properties and resistance to bacterial growth and fungi, making it ideal for use in bandages, bed sheets and clothing.
Best for: Linen can help to boost the body and mind, and is therefore beneficial to those feeling exhausted or depleted. It’s also a brilliant fabric to wear if you suffer from skin issues or allergies due to its natural hypoallergenic and antimicrobial properties.
Wool
Another fabric with a rich history is wool. Humans have been weaving and wearing wool back as far back as 10,000 BCE!
Beloved for its natural warmth and comfort, wool is a natural fibre that is celebrated for its ability to retain heat. This is what makes it ideal for use during the winter months. Not only will it keep you warm and toasty, but it will help to raise your vibrational frequency.
It’s mentioned in both the Torah and the Bible that we shouldn’t wear wool with linen. This is backed by science, too! Dr. Yellen’s study found that the energetic field of wool flows in the opposite direction of the energetic field of linen. When worn together, these fields collapse and cancel each other out, with linen’s remarkable 5,000Hz dropping to zero.
Frequency: The frequency of clothing made from wool resonates at 5,000Hz.
Health benefits: Not only does wool keep us nice and warm, but the high frequency could also energise the wearer on a vibrational level. This can help to boost your overall health and wellbeing, energy levels and even mental health.
Best for: Wool helps to maintain the body temperature, so it’s ideal for any season. There is also the belief that wool garments can bring relief to aching and tired joints and muscles.
Organic Cotton
Organic cotton has a neutral frequency and is a great fabric to wear. But it also works as the perfect material to blend with other fabrics. It’s super important to note that organic matters, here! Non-organic cotton is heavily sprayed with pesticides and bleached and measures around 40Hz, which is a frequency lower than that of a healthy human. That’s why wearing it can damage the health of the wearer.
Frequency: Organic cotton resonates at a frequency of 100Hz, the same as the human body. This means it has neither a positive or negative impact on the body. However, if the body is already sick, then it can help to boost health.
Health benefits: Not only does organic cotton feel soft on skin, it also helps support a balanced and calming energy, promoting comfort and overall wellbeing.
Best for: Organic cotton is ideal for sensitive skin, or even people with skin allergies.
Hemp
This is another ancient fabric to withstand the test of time. Hemp is a hugely sustainable fabric, with more environmental benefits than most other natural fibres.
Frequency: Much like organic cotton, hemp resonates at a frequency of 100Hz.
Health benefits: Hemp has a grounding effect on the body, helping to maintain a sense of stability or calm. This is ideal if someone is feeling stressed.
Best for: Due to its natural antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, hemp is also beneficial for the skin and can help prevent skin infections and irritations.
Medium Frequency Fabrics
Silk
Silk has always been regarded as a luxurious fabric. The high price point alone has given silk its high end appeal. But the frequency of silk clothing is surprisingly low. This likely has less to do with the actual fabric and instead because of processing methods, which typically include the use of chemicals.
Traditional, more natural methods of processing silk included feeding silkworms or silk moths organic mulberry leaves. But modern processing introduced the use of chemicals, including pesticides. Many silkworms are also killed during harvesting. These chemicals and the insects’ death result in lower vibrations.
Sure, organic, or non-violent (a.k.a. ‘peace silk’) silks exist, but they’re not widely available.
Frequency: Surprisingly, (non-peace) silk resonates at a frequency of just 10Hz.
Health benefits: Organic or peace silk can help to prevent allergies, eczema and asthma. It can apparently also help to fight symptoms of menopause.
Best for: Silk can prevent signs of ageing, especially when used as a pillow as it prevents skin from creasing, which develops into fine lines.
Viscose
Viscose, otherwise known as rayon, is often made from wood pulp or bamboo. Though it’s plant based, it’s a low frequency fabric, due to the chemically intensive production used to make it.
Frequency: Viscose resonates at a frequency of just 15Hz.
Health benefits: There is no denying that viscose is super soft when you feel it. So much so that it is known as a fabric that the skin loves! It can be worn without causing inflammation, so it’s ideal for people who suffer from skin allergies. It’s also better for workout wear than polyester or nylon.
Best for: Viscose is highly absorbent, therefore it’s ideal for activewear such as leggings and sports tops. It’s also lightweight making it ideal for being worn during the summer months.
Low Frequency Fibres
Synthetic fibers
The frequency of clothing of synthetic fabrics, such as polyester, nylon and acrylic, is zero. Yet these are super popular in the modern fashion realm mainly due to their affordability and durability. As these fibres aren’t natural, they require a lot of resources to produce and therefore have very different vibrational frequencies to more natural fabrics that have withstood the test of time.
Frequency: Zero! These materials are all devoid of any frequency. According to Yellen’s study, these man-made fabrics are not only draining on our environment, but they could also drain us energetically, too.
Health benefits: There aren’t really health benefits for synthetic fabrics. In fact, they can be pretty grim. Not only can they cause your body to smell, due to the fact your skin can’t breathe while wearing them, but they can also trap hot and cold, preventing your body temperature from regulating itself.
Best for: If you can’t afford to steer away from synthetic fabrics, it’s best to wear them in small amounts.
Do Dyes Effect a Fabric’s Frequency?
While Dr. Yellen’s study primarily focused on the frequencies of many individual and natural fabrics, such as linen, wool and cotton, we also have to consider how the dyeing and production process could potentially affect them, too.
If we consider that the chemical process that takes place when dyeing fabrics is quite harsh, I think it’s a fair assumption that this could well alter the frequency of clothing, too. After all, silk is a luxurious, natural fabric, and yet the processing lowers its frequency to a super low number.
It stands to reason that bleach and synthetic dyes would lover the frequency of a material. The process of using natural dyes which are not only eco-friendly but derived from plants and natural sources, are likely to work harmoniously alongside the fabric to maintain as much of the fabric’s original frequency.
Conclusions
The overall findings suggest that the frequency of clothing can indeed affect human health. Higher frequency fabrics such as linen, wool, hemp and organic cotton can help to bring balance, while lower frequency synthetics can actually drain it.
Of all the fabrics mentioned, linen was the fabric most regarded with the ability to heal the world, as studied by Dr. Yellen.
I think we’ve all felt the shift in our mood when wearing clothes that boost our mood. What if that was due to the frequency and fabric of those clothing?
By understanding the many ways different fabrics affect our energy, we can be selective about the fabrics we use not only to dress, but use in our bedding and our homewares, too!
So whether you’re looking to give your mental health a boost, or to create a more spiritually conscious home, selecting the right fabrics to use is a great place to start.
