Discover the healthier alternative
Most people think of silk as an expensive fabric that is the ultimate in luxury, smoothness and normally associated with the sexiest lingerie and bedding, but everyone should know how it could also benefit your health too.
If you are serious about giving yourself, family or children one of the healthiest night sleep possible; then pure silk duvets and pillows must be an important choice.
Here's how...
Breathing
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resitant to dust mite, unlike duvets and pillows made from down, feather or polyester. The droppings from dust mites contain left-over enzymes which the mites use to digest the skin dust. It is these enzymes which are the most important part of mite dust in causing asthma and other allergic diseases.Consequently, silk duvets and pillows will help the following ailments:-
Sensitive Skin
Silk works in two ways to assist sensitive skin.
Firstly, silk is 100% natural, and contains many amino acids in common with the human body, these acids help moisture penetrate the skin (aid in absorption) and aid in skin healing.
Secondly, silk is fine, durable, light and has 75% stretch, which means that 10 cm (4') will stretch to 17.5 cm (6 1/2"). The individual fibres are approximately a half a mile long, which is what gives the fabric its lustre and ultra smooth surface so beneficial to sensitive skin.
Together these benefits will help:-
- Eczema
- Sensitive Skin
- allergic rash
- skin inflammations (psoriasis)
- shingles
- post-chemotherapy sensitive skin
- post surgery sutures
- Reynaud’s Disease
- sunburns
- vascular sclerosis
Thermal and Humidity Control
Unlike cotton, which retains moisture, silk wicks moisture away from the skin. This helps with all wetness troubles including genital infections, light incontinence, excess perspiration due to MS, night sweats and body acne.
- Light Incontinence
- Excess Perspiration
- Night Sweats
- Menopause
Low Weight
Silk duvets because of their thermal criss-cross pattern provide the required thermal properties at a weight a fraction of traditional feather, down or synthetic duvets. Consequently, the light weight on your body is a real benefit to people suffering from circulation issues and arthritis where the weight of bedding causes discomfort.
