Copper Bracelets

Copper has long been recognised as a useful mineral with purported medicinal properties and a long-history of use in the treatment of a variety of conditions. Though the use of copper to treat a variety of conditions has a long history, the actual benefits of the mineral are the subject of frequent debate within the medical community.

A popular treatment for the symptoms of arthritis is wearing a copper bracelet. The theory is that the symptoms of arthritis are augmented by particles called superoxide radicals, which damage joint membranes affected by rheumatoid arthritis. Copper salicylates have the ability to disberse these damaging superoxide radicals – thus decreasing the amount of damage caused. There is limited unbiased scientific evidence to back up this assertion, but the vast amount of cultural mythology surrounding the medicinal benefit of wearing a copper bracelet can’t be ignored.

Copper bracelets are also popular because as fashion accessories. Though it’s true that if you wear the same bracelet in the same place day in and day out for a while, it will leave an unpleasant mark on your flesh, wearing a copper bangle or a ornate arm band made from copper once in a while will do you no harm.

The majority of popular copper bracelet styles are loosely based on Celtic designs. This is largely due to the popularity that the Celtic myth has in our society and the ease with which jewellery makers can create intricate designs in copper. Copper bracelets are also available as simple chains.

Copper bracelets for fashion and medicinal use can be purchased from a number of high street shops, as well as a host of online jewellery outlets and chemists. If you’re buying a copper bracelet online, be sure to check the size and policy regarding returns to avoid disappointment.
