Felt Products: A Natural and Therapeutic Choice for Your Health and Well-being

Why Should We Use Felts? Reasons to Buy Felt Insoles, Benefits of Felt Waist Belts, and Types of Felt Products.

Why should we use felt?

By examining therapeutic methods and stages of healing damaged areas of the body, it has been determined that warming and keeping the injured organ warm significantly accelerate the recovery process and promote overall health. Natural felt, considering its production structure and natural warmth, can protect the body from cold and moisture temperament. When tied on the injured part, it keeps it warm, reduces patient discomfort, and speeds up the healing process.

The wool utilized for making felt is the long-fibered spring wool of sheep. Soap and egg yolk can be used to enhance the quality of the product. The amount of wool required for one square meter of felt is the same as that needed for making a carpet, but since felt production takes significantly less time (about a day), it is less expensive. 

Benefits of medicinal felt

1. Traditional felt absorbs the cold and moisture and does not let them pass through.
2. Natural felt has a warm and dry temperament, keeping the human body warm.
3. Felt helps in aligning the body's poles and brings peace to individuals.
4. Felt is used in treating and reducing pain of backache.
5. By warming the body's joints, felt increases and speeds up blood circulation to those areas.
6. Wool felt is very suitable for improving cracked heels and corns.
7. For wound dressing and drying, sterilized felt can be used.
8. Using felt reduces backache, rheumatic pains, and post-surgical joint pain, facilitating faster recovery.
9. Traditional felt patterns are calming, affecting the body's chakras, and viewing them brings a sense of well-being.
10. Sleeping on felt intensifies the warmth from body contact, thus easing blood circulation and relieving muscle stiffness.
11. Felt impacts the body's positive and negative charges, maintaining them in a normal state.
12. Felt has anti-radiation properties, and gold items inside a felt bag cannot be detected by gold-detecting devices.
13. According to felt makers, wet felt does not dull a sword and may even act as a bullet-resistant material.
14. Due to moisture absorption, felt insoles or felt shoes prevent sweat and unpleasant foot odors.
15. Felt clothing is warm in winter and cool in summer.
16. Our surroundings are filled with static electricity (from electrical appliances, plastic items like slippers, carpet, and machine-made rugs). When static electricity enters the body, it can cause blood thickening. One of the important properties of wool is that it absorbs this static electricity from the body, helping to thin the blood. Many of our health issues are due to blood thickening.
17. Another issue caused by static electricity is headaches (which again, is related to blood viscosity) and woolen products absorb this electricity. Wool or felt acts as an air purifier. The electricity present in our surroundings attracts dust particles, entering our bodies. However, when we use woolen or felt rugs at home, the wool absorbs this electricity along with the dust, helping to settle the air. In the past, people would beat woolen rugs to remove the dust trapped inside, considering them as a kind of allergy-resistant product.
18. Individuals with bedsores can benefit from using woolen bedding products. As wool helps in thinning the blood, it ensures better blood circulation even while the body is at rest. This improved circulation helps nourish and heal the sores. Furthermore, the use of woolen bedding can prevent the formation of new bedsores and may even aid in healing bodily issues of which we might not be aware.
19. Another property of wool is that microbes do not favor its environment, making it a natural antibacterial product. Wool is a smart and active fiber; it absorbs excess body moisture and gradually evaporates it.

The therapeutic properties of felt (natural wool) have led to the introduction of various medical products in the market, including felt waist belts, felt hats, felt underlays, felt shoes, felt shoe insole, felt prayer rugs, felt therapeutic seat cushions, and other felt products. All these contribute significantly to the treatment of joint pain, arthritis, disc herniation, and more. Due to their softness and flexibility, they provide comfort, aid in blood circulation, enhance overall body function, and alleviate fatigue, promoting mental vitality and well-being.

What is the difference between natural and Synthetic Felts?

Natural felt is made from the wool of sheep or camels, entirely natural and transformed into felt by the rubbing and beating of skilled felt makers. In contrast, the raw material for synthetic felt is plastic.

Traditional felt can withstand extremely high temperatures and even extinguishes a lit match dropped on it. The thickness of felt fabric is usually up to 5 millimeters, whereas natural felt can be produced up to 3 centimeters thick. Products made from wool felt have a much longer lifespan compared to synthetic items. Unlike industrial felt, traditional felt easily absorbs impacts and vibrations from collisions and sound, without transmitting them. Natural felt has many properties and is useful in treating various joint pains and spinal issues, whereas felt made from plastic fibers lacks these beneficial properties.

Felt shoe insoles

Felt shoe insoles are odor-resistant, blister-preventive, sweat-resistant, and corn-preventive. They are beneficial for walking and are anti-static. They offer a warm and soothing nature, act as a superior insulator against the transfer of heat and cold and have a very high elasticity.

Made from the wool of Merino sheep. This product is very suitable for walking and reduces pain from foot. The properties of felt for foot include being warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather. When using felt shoe insoles, in addition to the mentioned properties, you can benefit from its high odor absorption. This means that people whose feet tend to get smelly quickly can use this product to wear their shoes for longer periods without needing foot deodorizers.

The product is suitable for all ages. People can easily cut the insoles to their desired size using a cutter or scissors if the available sizes in the store are too large. This way, they can customize the insoles for their personal use.

Reasons to buy felt shoe insoles

1. Pain Prevention: Felt insoles help preventing persistent foot pain from continuous standing.
2. Preventing Odor: Continuous walking often leads to sweating, causing shoes to develop unpleasant odors. However, these insoles aid in absorbing foot perspiration, reducing odor and preventing shoe humidity.
3. Corn Prevention: Felt shoe insoles made from felt material prevent the development of corns on the feet.
4. Long-Term Comfort: Prolonged use of shoes throughout the day can result in daily foot pains. The softness of felt shoe insoles prevents the occurrence of such pains.
5. Blood Circulation: The felt material of the insoles helps regulate blood circulation in your body and contributes to the improvement of some joint-related conditions.

Heel Spurs and Felt Shoe Insoles: Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common reasons for heel pain, typically causing discomfort during the early hours of the day and when taking the first steps. This pain is often sharp, dagger-like, accompanied by a burning sensation in the sole of the foot. Increased age, a flat foot arch, excessive foot arch, overweight, walking barefoot, and engaging in activities requiring prolonged standing are among the factors contributing to the development of heel spurs. The use of felt shoe insoles significantly reduces heel spur pain and is considered an effective treatment method for this condition. These insoles prevent direct contact between the heel and the ground, providing protection for the heel. Heel spurs are a prevalent issue affecting many individuals and felt shoe insoles made from felt material can assist in treating such conditions and preventing the occurrence of heel spurs.

Features of Felt Shoe Insoles Suitable for Heel Spurs: A good shoe insole for treating heel spurs should act as a protective layer around the heel, guarding it against pressure and heavy impacts. While regular insoles can be suitable for treating heel spurs, orthopedic insoles are more effective. These insoles distribute the pressure exerted on the heel across the entire foot while walking, creating balance.

Natural felt insoles can be considered moisture enemies because felt quickly absorbs humidity, preventing the production of bad and unpleasant odors. Additionally, felt has soothing properties and by keeping the feet warm, it can enhance blood circulation. Felt shoe insoles are anti-odor and blister-resistant, making them an excellent choice for walking.

For athletes, these insoles are highly recommended because they can prevent the impacts experienced during sports activities. Their material and design help in absorbing shocks, thereby reducing the strain on the feet.
