The Secrets of Linen
Linen is made from flax. In Latin, the word flax means “being most useful. It is also probably responsible for the invention of the iron.
Benefits
- At the electronic cellular level, flax cells are highly complementary with human cells; producing a benevolent effect on the human organism. The human cell is capable of completely dissolving a flax cell. It is interesting that flax thread appears to be the only natural material utilized for internal sutures in a surgical setting.
- Scientists have discovered that linen fibres reflect light. The light energy aspect of living organisms has been measured by many individuals within the Scientific community. Nobel prize winning Dr. Otto Warburg identified signature frequency numbers of the average human at 70-90. All results with numbers less than 50 were identified as the signature frequency of chronic disease. Any number less than 15 was identified with those having a diagnosed incurable condition such as cancer.
- The measurement of linen fabric measures 5,000 signature frequency.
- Is antibacterial

- Doesn’t accumulate static electricity
- Causes 1.5x less perspiration than cotton
- Reduces solar gamma radiation
- Is used for internal sutures, because the body accepts it

Certification
The best linen has a OEKO-TEX certification. OEKO-TEX is a safety standard that has been in use since 1992 and is designed to ensure that fabrics pose no risk to human health. OEKO-TEX prohibits the same list of chemicals that GOTS prohibits. Both GOTS and OEKO-TEX prohibit the use of toxic heavy metals, formaldehyde, flame retardants, pesticides, azo dyes, and carcinogenic and allergy-inducing dyes. OEKO-TEX certified fabrics are required to have a skin friendly pH. GOTS also focuses on groundwater pollution and labor practices. OEKO-TEX does not address all the production steps but officially tests the final product to ensure compliance.
