Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu and atomic number 29. It is a soft, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a pinkish-orange color. 

Commonly used copper alloys include brass and bronze. As an alloy, copper is extremely durable and can hold up well over time, despite daily wear. And it is because of this durability that makes it a great candidate to be used as jewellery metal. 

What’s more, copper is an essential micronutrient in our bodies. It has numerous health, wellness, and beauty benefits. It also improves your skin appearance, treats worn-out skin tissues, and maintains healthy metabolism. However, your skin does not produce copper naturally, so you add it in artificially by drinking water from a copper vessel, eating foods containing copper, or wearing copper jewellery. Copper jewellery, in particular, do have multiple benefits, especially to our bodies, some of which are listed below;  

 Heals many ailments – Copper has been in use throughout history due to its healing benefits of arthritis. It aids in relieving pain associated with joint pain and stiffness. Once it opens the flow of energy in your body, the copper metal in the jewellery supplements the body’s natural healing process. It improves the blood circulation in the body, detoxifying the body from any toxic substances that may trigger illnesses. 

Healthy immune system – By wearing copper jewellery on your finger or around your wrist, your body absorbs small amounts of copper into the blood’s mainstream. As a result, the amount of copper clears up quite a number of toxic metals in the body, and also triggers an enzyme response in the human body to create haemoglobin, which is a component of the red blood cells that is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of your body.  

Lack of enough haemoglobin in your red blood cells causes anaemia, which is a result of an iron deficiency.  

Anti-aging effects – Copper’s anti-aging properties have been in use throughout ancient times. The metals contain anti-oxidant features that prevent free radicals and ions from creating a toxic environment in the body. While the copper bracelets, ring or necklace cross-link the body fibres, it also slows down the aging process, ensuring you look and feel young and energetic at all times. 

Relief on joint stiffness and pain – Wearing copper bracelets is known to help with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain, and stiffness, as well as chronic osteoarthritis. Copper has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the pain and discomfort associated with arthritis. This makes wearing a copper bracelet a less costly and practical method of warding off medical conditions. 

To sum it all up, there are so many reasons why people are wearing copper bracelets in the modern-day society. They have been known to play a crucial role in spiritual and healing benefits too. Often referred to as a ‘lucky and healing’ metal, it is quite useful when you want to regain your health balance and immune system. After reading through these benefits, am quite sure you now want one for yourself, so, buy one (or several) and wait and see how it transforms your life.
