WHY YOU SHOULD BUY OR-GOWNIC PATIENT GOWNS
Orgownic gowns are made from 24% hemp/76% organic cotton. We have chosen hemp/organic cotton for our patient gowns due to the benefits it offers you and your patients:
- Hemp and organic cotton are chemical free
- No fertilizers or pesticides are used in plant cultivation
- Organically grown fibers are known to reduce your allergies and sensitivities to chemicals
- Hemp has superior anti-bacterial properties and does not hold odors
- Hemp is an excellent fiber to wick away sweat and keeps your patients dry
- Hemp is one of the most versatile fibers available
- Organic cotton farmers, consumers and the environment are not exposed to harmful chemicals
By using an Orgownic Gown you are not only protecting your skin from toxic chemicals but you are also protecting the environment.
DID YOU EVER WONDER WHAT A STANDARD HOSPITAL GOWN IS MADE OF?
A standard hospital gown is made of 65% polyester/35% cotton. Polyester is made from chemical substances found mainly in petroleum. The chemicals are then manufactured into fibers for fabric production. Cotton is a natural substance but conventionally grown cotton contains many harmful chemicals. Synthetic/cotton blends are usually treated with formaldehyde to prevent shrinkage. By buying polyester/cotton fabric we are in turn supporting the production of greenhouse gases.
"The fabric industry is one of the most polluting on the planet. Cotton soaks up 10% of the world’s pesticides and 25% of its insecticides, many of which are carcinogens and extremely toxic, causing major water pollution and making workers and wildlife sick. In fact, it takes half a pound of chemicals to make one regular t-shirt. Pesticide use isn’t the only problem associated with the cotton industry. Human rights abuses are common, and child labour is a serious issue. According to Human Rights Watch, over one million children pick leaf worm from cotton plants in Egypt alone every summer. Seasonal child labour in cotton fields is actually government sanctioned there, but only for six hours a day, not 11 hours a day, seven days a week, as is common." Adria Vasil author of Ecoholic

TESTIMONIALS
Dear Mary and Bev,
When I started my naturopathic practice I really wanted to try and make my clinic as environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible. When I searched for organic gowns I really didn't expect to find anything available. I was so excited to find your company! I have been in practice for just over six months now and the gowns are absolutely amazing! They are still as perfect and new looking as when I first bought them, after so many dozens of washes and uses. I will definitely be ordering more in the future and will recommend them to other health care practitioners and colleagues. My patients feel very comfortable in them and are happy to know what they are made of. Thank you for doing your part to help create a more environmentally sustainable human presence in this world and for going above and beyond by creating such a high quality product!
Warm wishes,

Mary and Bev,
I just wanted you to know that the gowns are awesome! Patients love them. They are soft and beautiful and a fabulous conversation piece during the exam. The denim-ish blue color is pretty much flattering on most people. You guys really sized them perfectly so people are completely covered up; they are not fighting to pull fabric over their flesh it’s more like they are lounging In a comfy robe and thus they are relaxed. I tell them that the idea of custom cloth gowns came from a patient and then I tell them about your company, "Orgownics".
We may even try to green certify at some point. In fact the county's green certification project is working on a medical arm...you should contact them and use me as a reference!
Best of luck to you,

Dear Mary,
As owner of an alternative wellness spa, I have been very committed to providing a "casual comfort" environment with a calm, refreshing and relaxing ambiance for our clients. We strive to enhance our guest’s therapeutic journeys of restoring a sense of balance, optimal health and revitalization. Therefore no detail in service or environment is overlooked. With this goal in mind; along with a deep respect for the world we live in, one of the details focused on and searched for was organic patient gowns which led me to the welcomed discovery of Orgownic. Utilizing Orgownic patient gowns at Shaanta has definitely added to providing a comfortable, relaxing experience of our guests.
Clients, staff and I absolutely love the gowns. The fabric feels wonderful against one’s skin, the beautiful shade of blue is calming and the length and overall cut of the gowns is perfect for all. I am also grateful for the excellence in quality of the gowns and how nicely they launder while still maintaining their size and shape and not looking at all worn. I know that you and Beverly went to extraordinary measures internationally searching for exceptional organic material to create these gowns. Your fabric selection and your obvious expertise in design truly reflect your genuine care in providing the highest of quality, comfortable patient gowns.
I am very thankful for having your gowns for my clients. I am also very thankful for the outstanding, personable customer service your company has provided to me and the timeliness of accommodating my needs. It is always a pleasure and Shaanta Inc. will definitely continue ordering patient gowns from Orgownic as the centre grows.
Thanks so much!Christina Czuj, President of Shaanta Inc.
