Happiness Class: Health Benefits of Linen

"Health Benefits of Linen

Linen is a natural fiber made from the stock of the same flax plant that produces flax seeds. Flax production is extremely eco-friendly and sustainable. Linen is an extremely powerful aid in regulating the body's temperature and keeping the wearer comfortable.  Linen is very effective at absorbing moisture and drying quickly, making it much more desirable than cotton in keeping moisture away from the skin. This is very beneficial especially for items worn next to the skin.
