High-Vibration & Low-Vibration Fabrics
The Toxic Synthetic Chemicals in our Clothing
Every week, the news labels a different consumable products “bad for your health.” This trend can be seen in our food, medicine, and drinking water. All of which have been described as riddled with carcinogens, hormonal endocrine disruptors, forever chemicals and toxins.
Unsurprisingly, all these harmful chemicals can be found within our wardrobes and throughout the textile, clothing & fashion industry.
High-Vibration & Low-Vibration Fabrics.
Every pore on your body is eating your clothing.
The difference between High Vibration vs. Low Vibrational Fabrics & how they impact our mind, body & soul — is Night & Day.
Polyester, Rayon & Nylon are all synthetic materials. Essentially, you're wearing plastic — which has a very low vibration, harmful to your health.
High-Vibration & Low-Vibration Fabrics.
Every pore on your body is eating your clothing.
On the other end of the spectrum, Natural materials like Linen, Hemp, Cotton, Silk, Wool & Cashmere have a much higher vibration.
So, by choosing what you put on your body, you can literally raise your vibration.
Ironically, many yoga clothes — think Lululemon or Alo — where we often discuss these significant spiritual principles of higher consciousness — are often contributing to environmental destruction.
MICROPLASTICS IN OUR BODIES
Sweating in Synthetics: Absorbing Chemical Toxins
Most athleisure clothing (including Alo, Nike, and The North Face) is shown to contain BPA, a toxic chemical used in plastic manufacturing. BPA has been found in polyester/spandex fabric blends.
Chemical testing of yoga pants from popular brands like Athleta and Lululemon reveal the presence of PFAS, toxic chemicals also found in many personal care products and non-stick pans.
This raises questions like: Are the chemical residues in the fabric absorbed into the skin?
What environmental consequences result from disposing of the chemicals used for fabric processing?
High-Vibration & Low-Vibration Fabrics.
Textiles, PFAs & Volatile Chemicals in our clothing.
There are about 8000 synthetic chemicals that are used in the apparel industry manufacturing process, from material acquisition to the finished product. Since we cannot cover every chemical and its function, this article will focus on the most common and deleterious substances. These include, but are not limited to, flame retardants, Polyfluorinated substances (PFAS)*, lead & chromium, phthalates, chlorine bleach, AZO dyes, and volatile organic chemicals (VOCs)+such as formaldehyde.
High-Vibration & Low-Vibration Fabrics
Reading Fabric & Nutrition Labels are equally important.
More importantly, the health implications of these substances are vast in range, and volume, as approximately 25% of global chemical output originates from the textile industry.
Since textiles comprise a significant part of our world, and we are in contact with textiles all day, every day, safety and confidence in these products are vital.
Fabrics That support your health
What does “frequency” mean in regards to clothing?
Energy, light, and matter all exist on a vibrational continuum. This is a concept grounded in bioenergetics, meaning everything vibrates at its own unique frequency — which can influence our the energy of our mind-body-spirit.
Everything in the universe, from the air we breathe to the clothes we wear, is composed of atoms that vibrate at different speeds. This vibration is what we refer to as frequency. Although a large part of these frequencies lies beyond the scope of human perception, frequencies can be measurable and scientifically verifiable.
Fabrics That support your health
The Human Body has a Frequency of 100.
The study indicates that the frequency of a healthy human body rests at 100. When the frequency decreases below 100, it could imply a disruption in the body's natural balance, potentially leading to various physical and psychological symptoms.
The Highest Frequency Fabrics are:
Linen: Frequency ~ 5000mHz
Wool: Frequency ~ 5000mHz
Organic Cotton: Frequency ~ 110mHz
Hemp ~ 110mHz
The Highest Frequency Fabrics are:
Polyester, Rayon, Spandex, Nylon: Frequency ~ 15mHz
Throughout millennium, human beings have been aware of other energy fields/frequencies which aren’t visible to the naked eye, or measurable by current scientific devices. The human body — functioning optimally — is a highly attuned extrasensory instrument, far more perceptive to spectrums of energy than our most advanced technology.
MICROPLASTICS IN OUR BODIES
Microplastics, Tight Clothing & Declining Fertility.
Further, it raises the following questions:
Can microplastics be absorbed by the skin? Studies now show they have found them in human fetuses & reproductive organs.
Also, are the other toxic chemicals used in synthetic fabrics be absorbed through the skin?
MICROPLASTICS IN OUR BODIES
Microplastics, Tight Clothing & Declining Fertility.
Can working out in plastic fabric (Ex: Lululemon sports bras, Yoga pants) cause increased exposure to the fabric’s chemicals and microplastics, due to increased moisture and heat?
Yes, yes & yes.
Quite an alarming concern, as most people are wearing these plastics on a daily basis & Athleisure has become the norm to sweat in. Tight, polyester clothing is the real epidemic, in addition to toxic foods.
Endocrine Disruptors
Fertility & Endocrine Disruptors
Another caveat: Low vibrational fabrics also disrupt your Endocrine system — Thyroid — Metabolism.
We already have enough endocrine systems in modern living: from make-up, to cleaning products, fragrances, feminine hygiene products such as tampons & more. The cherry on top of the cake is synthetic fabrics, disrupting natural Chi flow & permeating into the skin.
Marine Microplastic Pollution
The Water Supply Contaminated with Microplastics
When we wear fabrics like Polyester, rayon & nylon we’re essentially wearing plastic. These synthetic fabrics are shown to shed microplastics into the water supply when laundered.
According to the United Nations Environment Programme, plastics comprise approximately 60% of all materials sourced for clothing production, which includes Polyester, Acrylic & Nylon textiles.
These synthetic fabrics are lightweight, durable, affordable & flexible.
Here's the environmental catch: every time they're washed, they shed tiny plastic fibers called microfibers, a form of microplastics up to five millimeters in size.
Scientists estimate that textiles produce 35% of the microplastic pollution in the world's oceans, making them the most significant known source of marine microplastic pollution.

How can I stay safe?
We should be checking fabric labels just as much as we are checking nutritional labels.
When looking at your wardrobe, seek materials, fabrics, and dyes that are considered natural (100% linen, cotton, wool, silk, cashmere) rather than synthetic materials.
Ideally, the composition would be 100% of a single fabric (Ex: 100% Cotton is far superior to 70% Cotton and 30% Silk, because in the fabric combination, both vibrations cancel each other out, going against the healing frequencies of nature).
Check for third-party certification standards such as the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), the EU Ecolabel, or the bluesign® certification.

Linen: The High-Frequency Healer
Linen fabric, as ancient as civilization itself, is the standout fabric with a staggering frequency of 5,000. This is significantly higher than the human body's frequency, which averages around 100.
Linen's high frequency suggests that it could impart energy to the wearer, potentially boosting vitality and well-being.
Historically, linen has been revered for its healing properties, often used in bandages, linen sheets and clothing for its natural resistance to bacterial growth and fungi.
HIGH-FREQUENCY FABRICS
Wool: The Warm Embrace of High Frequency
Similar to linen — Wool resonates at a high frequency of ~ 5000mHz
Renowned for its warmth and comfort, wool's high frequency suggests more than just physical warmth; it could also energise the wearer on a vibrational level.
It is important to note: When linen and wool are worn together, their frequencies nullify, plummeting to zero due to their opposing energy flows.
We do not recommend blends like Linen & Wool — because Nature intended linen to be worn in summer, wool in winter. When combined they cancel each other's high-frequency to zero.
HIGH-FREQUENCY FABRICS
Organic Cotton: Harmonizing with the Body
Organic cotton stands out with a frequency of 100, mirroring the human body's frequency. This harmony suggests a natural sync with our bodies, making organic cotton a comfortable and potentially health-supportive choice. Its non-organic counterpart, with a lower frequency of about 70, lacks this vibrational alignment.
HIGH-FREQUENCY FABRICS
Hemp: The Sustainable Choice
Like organic cotton, hemp mirrors the human body at an impressive frequency of 100. The difference is, however, that hemp has far more environmental benefits over all other natural fibers - including linen. Hemp is very sustainable, being carbon-negative, pesticide-free and soil-enriching. In fact, hemp shares many properties of linen: it is non-static, UV-resistant, antibacterial & long wearing.
Hemp is the front runner if all natural fibers including linen. Firstly, hemp plants require less water and fewer pesticides and herbicides to grow compared to linen and cotton, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
FAST FASHION TO SLOW LUXURY
100% Natural Fabrics & The Fashion Industry.
Now, let's consider the implications. Low-vibrational fabrics, such as polyester, are associated with fast fashion brands that prioritize disposability over durability.
Supporting these brands perpetuates environmental disregard and compromises your own vibrational essence.
Instead, opt for sustainable, all-organic fashion. Buy Less — Choose Well. Brands in this industry prioritize high-quality, long-lasting garments & genuinely care about your well-being as a person.
By choosing a sustainable, conscious & intentional lifestyle, you align yourself with a higher vibrational frequency & contribute to a healthier planet — A healthier & more elevated version of you.
