Therapeutic Benefits of Angora Fiber

Angora offers multiple benefits while looking beautiful and elegant. 

Angora is one of the most charming, light and beautiful fibers in the world. It is sought after for its natural fur-like halo and its insulating and warming properties. But its remarkable beauty is only one of its many benefits. Angora fiber is 7 times warmer than wool and is doctor-prescribed in Europe for the relief of pain, without drugs.

Arthritis pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress ailments, and back pain will all benefit from angora wraps and
garments.

It is valuable as an insulator for joints and extremities and beneficial for illnesses that inhibit circulation, such as diabetes, chilblains, and heart disease. Although wearing angora and other natural fibers will not heal these diseases, wearing angora and angora blends in garments that cover the affected parts of the body, can increase warmth, circulation and relieve pain, increasing freedom of movement in the affected area.

How it works

The fine angora fibers, with their halo,  trap warm air against the body and increase the blood flow to the part of the body that they are encircling. As the blood flow increases it removes toxins and lactic acid from the affected area and brings oxygenating nourishment to the affected body part. This in turn brings relief of pain. This is the same principle that therapeutic massage works on.

• Knitted angora wrist cuffs can increase circulation in the wrists and hands during activity and relieve the hand pain of arthritis and carpel tunnel syndrome.
• Angora fingerless gloves work along the same principle, but increase the area of the hand kept warm by the glove, without inhibiting finger movement.
• Angora shawls and ponchos can give warmth and relief to one's back and shoulders by keeping the area warm, and increasing circulation to the painful muscles. Angora just doesn't come across looking like therapeutic clothing.
• Angora bedsocks will increase the warmth and circulation to the feet and are doctor-prescribed for diabetics to prevent poor circulation and possible complications which may lead to amputation.
• Those with sore, aching feet or ankles induced by injury -- will also benefit from the specific heat applied with the use of angora bedsocks. 
• Angora scarves can offer warmth year round as a wrapper for sore joints and muscles and to relieve neck pain.
