Antibacterial Properties of Silver for Healthier Sleep
Even in Roman times, silver was recognized for its medicinal and therapeutic properties. Nowadays, its antibacterial properties are well recognised, and silver is contained in many health products, for example, bandages for treating burns. Wenatex has also made use of the properties in silver and developed SilverMed®. SilverMed® is the purest medicinal silver permanently combined with a textile while still retaining its textile properties. SilverMed® is used in Wenatex’s
Covers,
Quilts and
Pillows In the
Wenatex Deluxe Mattress Core and the
Ergonomic pillow core, silver not as a textile but in the form of silver zeolite (synthetically produced crystalline alumosilicates)
is used as an active agent. SilverMed® and silver zeolite both render bacteria and germs of all kinds harmless.
With SilverMed® fibre and silver zeolite, Wenatex utilises the positive effects of silver to provide sleep comfort that not only complies with orthopaedic standards but also meets the highest levels of hygiene.
Medicinal Herbs are beneficial for Sleep
The use of medicinal herbs is especially beneficial for healthy sleep. Wenatex has developed a mixture of
17 valuable Alpine herbs for use in its
Alpine Herbal Regeneration Inlay. To create the best conditions for a refreshing night’s sleep, the 17 alpine herbs have been specifically selected for their soothing, relaxing and analgesic effects:
- Hops, Lemon Balm, Chamomile, Rose and Lavender - selected for their calming effects;
- Hay Flower, Hyssop, Male Fern, Willow Bark, Field Horsetail, Elder Flower, Wild Thyme, Stinging Nettle, Yarrow, and Shepherd’s Purse - selected for their health effects; and
- Eucalyptus and Arnica – selected for their antiseptic effects.
