Health Benefits:
Knowledge of the healing effects of copper is deeply ingrained in history. Cultures all over the world have used copper to treat sore throats and a variety of other ailments for centuries.

Modern science confirms what people around the world have known for hundreds of years. Copper is an essential nutrient, playing a vital role in keeping bones, skin, brain, blood vessels and immune system strong and healthy. Copper (Much like its cousin silver) also has anti-bacterial properties useful in slowing the spread of illnesses.

Because copper can be absorbed through the skin, wearing copper jewelry has become a simple, popular way to reap the benefits of this lovely metal.

Although modern science has no provided specific evidence of the health benefits of copper jewelry, many still swear by it. I’ve had many customers who have written me thank you notes because the copper jewelry I sold them has helped ease the pain of their Arthritis, or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Many other people all over the world swear by Coppers healing abilities for everything from: Arthritis, Carpal Tunnel, cold hands or feet, poor blood circulation, back pain, headaches, Fibromyalgia, and many more ailments!

Magnetic therapy has been documented worldwide, and is well known to help reduce pain levels. Combined with copper, another well known pain reducing agent my copper magnetic jewelry may help you with a number of ailments! Clinical studies report between 75-85% of patients experience relief using magnetic therapy.

The way magnets work for you: some doctors believe that the magnetic field affects the iron component of blood, hemoglobin, thereby increasing circulation to the area where magnets are applied.

Another theory is that the magnetic field energizes and oxygenates the white corpuscles in the blood stream, and these white corpuscles are natures healing agents. The charged ions increase the blood flow, which provides increased oxygenation to the blood. This increased oxygenation is the prevalent factor to enhancing your body’s natural healing powers, and the results are less pain, decreased inflammation, and the possibility of increased energy level.

A note from the creator:
Being that I do two things, make chainmail jewelry, and design websites, both with a high risk for repetitive motion injuries such as Carpal Tunnel that puts me at high risk of having lots of pain in my life. In fact I have experienced a good deal of pain from these jobs, not just in my hands or wrists, but also my back, shoulders, and neck. I was always skeptical of the “healing powers” of magnets. I knew that copper was an essential nutrient that could be absorbed through the skin… but was also a bit skeptical of its “healing powers” as well. That was until I met someone who practiced acupressure who graciously gave me some acupressure magnets for my back and shoulder pain, an taught me to apply them. Within a couple of days the pain subsided, after a few weeks of using them the pain went away, not temporary relief like the pain was gone when I had the magnets on and came back later, gone as in completely gone. The worn bruised tissue had healed, the knots in my muscles had broken down and eased up. I have been wearing copper bracelets with magnetic clasps for over two years now and don’t have the same issues as I did with repetitive motion injuries.

On another topic, I just discovered that the magnetic clasps aren’t so amazing. After wearing it for a day the copper wore off. It is obviously copper PLATED and not solid copper. I’m sorry for that, but it’s just a warning that the clasps will be silver if you wear it. Took less than a day for me, but who knows.

Will it turn my skin green?
I get that question a lot… and my answer stands “I don’t know.” I wear copper bracelets and necklaces just about every day and it never turns my skin green. First off I’ve never worn anything that I didn’t make, the copper that I use is certified 99.9% pure and comes from a very well respected jewelry supply company. That might have something to do with the fact that it never turns green on my skin. It could also be a person to person thing, I’ve met a lot of people who say that certain pieces of jewelry of theirs turn their skin green all the time because of the copper content, which could just be how your skin reacts to the copper.

So in short I’m not sure whether the reason for green skin syndrome comes from the actual item (the density of the copper might have something to do with that, something that is less dense will rub off more, possibly more than your body can absorb). Or it could be a reactionary thing where some peoples bodies absorb, or discard more copper than others… could also be a combination of the two. Whether or not MY jewelry will turn your skin green… well all I can say is that it does not for me and I wear it riding my bike, running, working, sleeping, and any other activity you can think of… I’ve never had a problem… whether or not that is the same for you, I’d be interested to hear from you if you’ve had a problem with it before, and it doesn’t with my jewelry because I can’t say for sure.
