Margit and I recently stumbled upon something fascinating that sent us spiralling down a rabbit hole of research: the frequencies of fabrics. Yes, the clothes you wear and the materials around you might actually carry energy. It’s not just a whimsical idea—there’s science behind it, and naturally, we’re curious.
It turns out different materials have measurable frequencies, and these frequencies might impact how you feel and potentially your health. We first heard about this on Instagram (where else do modern muses get inspired?) and decided to dig deeper.
The Frequency of Our Bodies
Did you know that a healthy human body resonates at a frequency of 62-78 MHz (Megahertz)? This fascinating insight comes from Bruce Tainio, a researcher whose work revolutionised our understanding of vibrational frequencies. He found that disease begins to manifest when the body’s frequency drops to 58 MHz, a claim supported by Khaled Hamlaoui of the Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms in Russia.
How Do Fabric Frequencies Affect Us?
So, why does the frequency of a fabric matter? It all ties back to the body’s natural resonance. As stated above a healthy human body vibrates at 62-78 MHz, and maintaining this frequency is key to overall well-being. When we’re exposed to higher frequencies—like those of linen or organic cotton—it can help support and maintain this natural vibration.
On the flip side, synthetic fabrics, which vibrate at 0 Hz (see below), means they don’t offer any energetic benefit. In fact, some researchers suggest that these materials might even disrupt or dampen the body’s energy flow, leading to discomfort or fatigue over time.
While the science is still evolving, the idea is simple: wearing fabrics that vibrate closer to your body’s natural frequency could enhance your energy, comfort, and overall health.
Fabric Frequency Findings?
The idea of fabric frequencies gained traction through the work of Dr. Heidi Yellen. Using an Ag Environ machine, Dr. Yellen measured the vibrational frequencies of various fabrics, and the results are compelling:
- Linen has an astounding frequency of 5,000 Hz, practically buzzing with energy.
- Wool, especially untreated, is another high-vibration star, matching linen in its potential to regulate energy. (Interestingly, combining wool and linen results in a frequency of zero, which some say aligns with ancient prohibitions against mixing these fabrics—an intriguing historical twist.)
- Organic cotton measures a steady 100 Hz, placing it well above Non organic and synthetic fabrics.
- Non-organic cotton drops to 40 Hz, likely due to chemical treatments.
- Synthetic fabrics like polyester, acrylic, and nylon score 0 Hz. Zero. Nothing. These lifeless materials might explain why they often feel stifling, uncomfortable or lifeless.
Organic vs Non-Organic
Margit and I were especially intrigued to learn about the gap between organic and non-organic cotton. Non-organic cotton, laden with chemicals, vibrates at a lower frequency. This only strengthens our commitment to organic cotton—it doesn’t just feel better; it is better: it carries more “life,” if you will.
We’ve always believed that what you wear should look good and feel good in every sense. Understanding fabric frequencies validates our choice to prioritise natural, organic materials.
Linen: The High-Vibe Fabric We’re Exploring
We don’t currently use linen in our range, but its remarkable frequency has put it firmly on our radar. Could linen become OCL’s next high-energy superstar? We’re definitely excited to explore its potential.
Why This Matters
If you’ve ever worn a synthetic shirt that left you sweaty, smelly and sticky or cringed at the feel of a scratchy polyester jumper, you already know: not all fabrics are created equal. But this goes beyond comfort. The materials we wear and surround ourselves with can influence our health, energy, and even how we feel.
Choosing organic over synthetic and even non-organic isn’t just about comfort—it’s about protecting your body, your energy, and the planet.
What’s Next?
Margit and I are curious (as always) and eager to learn more. We’re even dreaming of getting our hands on a frequency-testing device to measure our own fabrics. Imagine knowing exactly how OCL pieces resonate with your energy!
If fabric frequencies resonate with you (pun absolutely intended), we’d love to hear your thoughts. Have you ever felt a difference between natural and synthetic fabrics? Let’s keep this conversation going—because understanding the energy of what we wear is just as important as how it feels on our skin.
