The theory is that by wearing the bracelet close to the skin, we are feeding our bodies with tiny but constant top-ups of copper (Copper is one of the 25 essential minerals we need in small amounts for the bodies chemistry to work properly). As the body sweats, according to the theory, minute amounts of the copper are dissolved. These are then absorbed into the blood through the skin, accounting for the harmless green mark which frequently appears on the wrist.
One explanation is that copper provides relief by conducting heat to the affected area, thus countering the effects of cold and damp.
We offer a range of attractive designs, most of which are also magnetic.
