Merino Wool recognised as asthma and allergy friendly.

19th Apr 2022
Merino Wool recognised as asthma and allergy friendly.

Merino wool is a natural and renewable fiber, and it was once believed that it might cause skin irritation and allergies. However, Allergy Standards Limited (ASL) has now acknowledged merino wool as asthma and allergy-friendly. It effectively disproves the idea that all wool produces allergic reactions.

Are you suffering from asthma or allergies? Do you know that merino wool is asthma and allergy-friendly? Keep reading to find out why you should choose merino wool and a list of merino wool products that are asthma and allergy-friendly.

What is merino wool?

Merino wool is a natural fiber and is the world's finest wool. It is softer and thinner than conventional wool, so it is comfortable to wear next to the skin. Merino sheep graze the Australian and New Zealand highlands and produce merino wool. Merino wool is an ideal blend of style, comfort, and performance.

Why should you choose merino wool?

Merino wool is an excellent choice for bedding and sleepwear because of its natural wicking capacity, which helps to regulate body temperature and promotes deeper, longer sleep. It also aids in falling asleep faster and sleeping uninterrupted.

Further, wool products are gentle on the skin and cause mild to no irritation. They help regulate body temperature and redistribute pressure. Therefore, wool items are also effective in bedsore prevention by providing comfort in bed.

Merino wool is recognized as asthma and allergy-friendly

Allergy Standards Limited (ASL), an international certification body, has officially recognized that Merino wool bedding items are asthma and allergy-friendly. Australian Wool Innovation sponsored this research, and it is an exciting benefit for people with asthma, eczema, sensitive skin, and other skin conditions.

According to ASL, "A growing amount of information suggests that high quality, fine Merino wool is non-irritant and poses no risk to persons with sensitive skin. According to a recent review of the literature, coarse fiber diameters (>30-32m) cause skin discomfort, unlike finer Merino wool. Several clinical trials conducted in Australia and the United States recently studied the benefits of Merino clothing on individuals with mild-to-moderate Atopic Dermatitis."

Merino wool products that are asthma and allergy-friendly

Conclusion

Allergy Standards Limited (ASL) has stated that merino wool is safe for patients suffering from asthma and allergy. Merino wool reduces the severity and symptoms of this chronic skin problem, disputing the myth that all wool is prickly and irritating. Further, you can find multiple merino wool products by Down -Under-Wool for enhanced comfort
