Ayurvastra
The Ancient Art of Dyeing Textiles with Medicinal Herbs
Ayurvastra is an ancient technique of dyeing textiles using medicinal herbs. The word “Ayurvastra” comes from the Sanskrit words “Ayur” meaning “life” and “Vastra” meaning “cloth”. Ayurvastra is a branch of Ayurveda, the ancient 5,000-year-old Indian system of Vedic healthcare. It was practiced in India before the industrialization of the textile industry. It was a part of living harmoniously with the environment.
Ayurvastra is based on the principle that the skin is a major organ of elimination and that it can absorb medicinal herbs through contact. In the same way the skin may absorb environmental toxins and chemicals from conventional bedding, it has the ability to absorb herbs found in our natural dyes. These herbs release their medicinal qualities into the body and strengthen the skin’s ability to block and resist harmful substances.When the skin absorbs medicinal herbs, it can help to improve the body’s overall health and well-being. The most effective time to wear ayurvastra is during sleep when the body is at rest.
Ayurvastra fabrics are made from 100% organic cotton or silk. The fabric used is 100% GOTs certified organic cotton, completely free of synthetic chemicals, toxic irritants, and is biodegradable. Every step in the preparation of ayurvastra cloth and clothing is carefully and precisely controlled.
The cotton or silk is first dyed with a mixture of medicinal herbs and then woven into fabric. The herbs are carefully selected for their medicinal properties.Dyes for Ayurvastra cloth typically contain between 40 and 60 specifically blended and carefully prepared medicinal herbs, plants, flowers, roots, and barks. Some of the herbs that are commonly used in Ayurvastra dyeing include turmeric, neem, indian madder root, and tulsi.
Ayurvastra fabrics are not only beautiful, but they are also beneficial for health. Studies have shown that Ayurvastra fabrics can help to improve the skin’s health, reduce stress, and boost the immune system.
If you are looking for a way to improve your health and well-being, consider using Ayurvastra clothing and bedding. Ayurvastra fabrics are a natural and effective way to promote health and well-being.
