A Natural Protection

During this present situation of pandemic (COVID-19), it is really important for people’s wellbeing and to take care of their health and immunity. Since no vaccine has been discovered to cure the effect of the virus and people are going out to work, it is very necessary to protect oneself from falling sick and getting weak.

Therefore, the design concept here is to develop a kind of fabric which helps in improving the immunity of a person by giving some level of protection from falling sick from even a normal bacteria or flu. Using herbal medicinal plants and their benefits by dying and covering to create a wearable piece/ fashion which helps not only as a protection but also wearing it will develop a good aroma on the skin, and one will notice immunity creating in the body.

The fibers of the material used to develop the fabric are obtained from bust of a plant known as Corchorus olitorius (JUTE) found a lot in Eastern part of INDIA. It is composed primarily of plant materials cellulose and lignin. This fiber is long, soft, shiny and can be spun into coarse, strong threads and also is biodegradable. The medicinal dye can be used after the yarn process or after the fabric production process. Protection masks can also be developed with it.
