It seems to becoming more and more common for people to have mild or even adverse reactions to the fabrics that we are using to make the clothes that we wear and even the detergents that we use to clean them. Synthetic fabrics are widely used but they often prevent our skin from breathing properly. We do need to ask what treatments the raw materials such as cotton and flax go through while they are being processed, what chemicals are used in the treatment of wool (even in sheep dips) or detergents used to clean it.
The result can unfortunately lead to thrush, athlete’s foot, rashes and sores. Instead, we should be wearing more natural materials and better still those that have been organically processed. For example underwear and bedclothes in particular should be of natural fabrics, non-synthetic and non-toxic.
