What's Natural dyeing?
Natural dyes refers to the dyes that are used to dye/print the fabric. They are flowers/roots of plants like Turmeric, onion, pomegranate, myraballams, manure, brazil wood etc...
No petrochemical dyes only plant extracts used as dyes. So no water pollution, instead the waste after dyeing can be used as manure. Medicinal properties may be acquired by fabric as many dyes have medicinally rich properties.
So no to allergies, septic, cancer and bad transpiration.
