Flax Facts

Every part of the flax plant can be used, making this an environmentally safe plant.

 The Latin name of this plant islinum usitatissimum which means “very useful”.

Earliest evidence of spun and dyed linen fibers were found in the Dzudzuana Cave in the Republic of Georgia, dating 30,000 years ago

   The origins are unknown, but there is evidence that 9,000 years ago linen fiber was produced in Syria and Turkey and ancient Egypt.

  In 1922, archeologists found a condom in King Tutankhamun’s tomb containing traces of his DNA. The condom was made of fine linen fiber soaked in olive oil. This condom dates back to 1350 B.C. It was not meant as contraception however, was used for disease prevention.

   Linen is often called a “super fabric”. Flax has an energy frequency of 5,000 mHz; since the human body has natural frequency of 100 mHz, linen gives your body energy as you wear it.

   Linen and Wool together offset their mHz energy levels since even though wool also gives off 5,000 mHz of energy linen and wool frequencies run in opposite current directions. 

 Linen contains antiseptic and antibacterial properties.
