THEY SURE CAN BE !
our clothes are made with very strong, chemical processes and derived from synthetic things that are touching your skin 24/7. If you know a thing or two about biology 🧪, Anything you put on your skin absorbs into the circulation hence the reason why many people have some chronic ailments and cannot figure it out.
Check out your hygiene products and once you get some cleaner products I tell my patients to transition to clean clothing.
TO WEAR: Cotton (organic when available)
H**p
Wool
Bamboo
Cashmere
Linen
Silk
WHAT TO AVOID: 1. Acetate. Both acetate and triacetate are manufactured from wood fibers and undergo extensive chemical processing
2. Acrylic. Acrylic fabric is made of polyacrylonitriles and may have potentially strong links to cancer, especially in women
3. Nylon. Made from petroleum, nylon fabric is often given a permanent chemical finish that may be harmful.
4. Polyester. Polyester is pretty much the worst fabric you can buy. It’s made from synthetic polymers, derived from esters of dihydric alcohol and terephthalic acid, and may release hundreds of millions of microfibers into the environment per person each year through washing
5. Rayon. Rayon is recycled wood pulp that must be treated with chemicals like caustic soda, ammonia, acetone, and sulphuric acid to survive regular washing and wearing. DO Yourself and the environment, a favor and transition to natural clothing. Read those tags before you buy your next shirt or a pair of yoga pants or socks, and underwear!
6. Anything labeled static-resistant, stain-resistant, permanent press, wrinkle-free, stain-proof, or moth-repellent. Many of the stain-resistant and wrinkle-free fabrics are treated with perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), like Teflon; these pollutants have been detected in humans and marine animals.
