Khadi, the well-known and vastly
worn India’s fabric has no doubt grown as part of our identity and as
conclusive signature attire. Ever since the ‘Khadi’ essence came into being as
Gandhiji promoted simplicity as social etiquette, khadi rapidly emerged and has
very well propagated as Nation’s fabric. And while we live the attitude of
wearing the hand-woven and hand-spun fabric, which is intricately spun into
yarn on a spinning wheel called Charkha, we along with the whole world are awed
by the versatility and authenticity this fabric holds! And steadily as the Khadi garment finds its
way to designer boutiques and elite cognizance where ecofriendly and organic
clothing brands have eventually provoked the basic understanding of being
environmentally responsible in apparel selection; it makes all sense to be
incorporating natural herbs into the fabric for sustained wellness merits.

Advantage Nature, Joy of life,
offers perfect value addition for Indian Khadi which could be a step further to
incorporating Hygiene, Skin-friendly and Wellness promoting virtues for the
user and as well for the environment at large. This means anointing the age-old
natural herbs of Neem, Tulsi, Apple Cedar Vinegar, Aloe vera etc. while
processing the fabric is sure to leave long-lasting healing as is authenticated
by Ayurveda, the science of life and well-being.
Khadi has always been a fabric
with immense outlook, which is now also becoming a fashion statement to create
your own unique styles and providing yourself the all-natural feel. The
application of herbal dyes with enormous healing power is therefore certain to
take the khadi culture to an all new level with the imbibing of a concept
called 'Herbal Khadi Fabrics'. The khadi textile made from raw materials of
cotton, silk and wool would be substantially enhanced with natural charisma and
health assurance, once the fiber being used is merged with natural herbs
through the application of herbal dyes. The herbal dyeing is accomplished at a
rather early stage, wherein the fibers are infused with these natural herbs and
plant extracts, before being woven into a fresh fabric. This way, the fabrics
get instilled with all the natural goodness of the herbs, and the benefits
remain intact. Now, when these super soft, comfy and naturally-dyed fabrics
come in contact with our skin, the largest organ of our body, health gains are
unsurpassable. Whereas it is not recommended to wear the chemically dyed
garments on a regular basis, the herbal garments gently cling to the skin in
the softest and most harmless manner possible, allowing it to breathe, and take
in the goodness of herbs, all at the same time!
