Empires' Obsession with Silk and Why It Should Be Yours
Throughout the ages, silk's softness and lustre have made it a highly coveted material. Empires would go to war or give up other valuables in exchange for it because of how highly valued it was. But what exactly makes silk so precious, and why may you want to start using silk products?
Silk: A Look Back in Time
Over 5,000 years ago, China was the first country to mass-produce silk, and for generations, this process remained a closely guarded secret. Silk was one of China's most precious commodities because the Chinese empire maintained a production monopoly, which made silk one of its most valuable exports. The Silk Road was a network of commercial routes that linked Asia, Europe, and Africa, and became notable for its use as a conduit for the exchange of silk.
Many Remarkable Benefits of Using Silk Products
The beautiful silk fabric has many positive effects on human health. Just a few of the many benefits of using silk products are listed here:
- Silk is a luxurious fabric that is delicate to the touch and feels amazing next to the skin. It's great for people who have sensitive skin because the lack of texture means less rubbing and scratching.
- Maintaining a Comfortable Body Temperature: Silk is a naturally insulating material that may keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. In addition to keeping you dry and comfortable, it naturally wicks away moisture.
- Silk's natural proteins and vital amino acids help keep your skin looking young and healthy by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Silk's naturally hypoallergenic properties make it a good option for anyone who has trouble with allergies or has sensitive skin.
- Strength and longevity: With the right maintenance, silk may survive for a very long time. It's more better for the environment and biodegradable than synthetic textiles.
