Copper Bangle

Wearing copper bracelets for medicinal benefits has a long history, all the way back to ancient Egypt, reports the “Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine.” You may find copper bracelets in health food stores and holistic healing centers today. Despite their popularity, scientific data backing up the claims of healing are lacking. For those who advocate the use of copper bracelets, proposed benefits focus on reducing joint inflammation and easing pain. Unless you have an allergy to the metal, a copper bracelet is unlikely to have detrimental side effects and you may be pleasantly surprised.
