Does Copper Help With Pain? Here’s How to Incorporate Copper Into Your Life for Optimal Wellness

If you’re here, you probably already take daily multi-vitamins and probiotics to keep your body in balance. When it comes to pain relief, you probably desire a natural remedy. Introducing: copper. Wait, does copper help with pain? Yes! Not only is copper found in many foods you likely eat on a daily basis, it is also has a variety of other benefits to your health and wellbeing.

Copper is essential to a healthy diet and proper system function. To help ease your aches and pains, you can opt to skip the painkiller and instead turn to copper.

Once copper is in your system, it’s stored in your bones and muscles.

How to Incorporate More Copper Into Your Life:

There are many ways to integrate copper into your life and diet, including supplements, jewelry, clothing, and drinkware. I would rather utilize the benefits of copper in its non-pill form. Namely, I’ve integrated copper jewelry and copper drinking vessels into my daily routine.
 

1. Jewelry

When wearing copper jewelry, such as necklaces or bracelets, the skin absorbs just enough copper to be beneficial to the body. I wear a healing copper bracelet from Sivana Spirit.

It is a cuff, so I can pinch it all the way until the ends touch to fit my tiny wrists, and it has soft edges, so I don’t need to take it off during my yoga practice.

I have extremely cold hands and feet, and this bracelet helps my blood circulate and warm my hands and fingers. To test out this theory, I often switch which wrist I wear the bracelet on and then compare the temperature of my hands and fingers at multiple times throughout the day.

No matter which wrist I wear the bracelet on, my hands and fingers are warmer than the other wrist. Also, the pain in my left wrist goes away entirely when I wear the bracelet on that wrist.
 

 
 

2. Drinking Vessels

There are thousands of copper drinking vessels in the marketplace, from cups and mugs to urns and pitchers. Fill your cup with water and cover it each night, and by the next morning, drink the water when it has had enough time to absorb the copper.

The cup’s instructions describe that drinking from the copper cup first thing in the morning increases agni – the digestive “fire” that is necessary for proper digestion, reduced acidity and regular elimination. The water is clean and purified and tastes just like water from any other cup.

I cannot speak to the anti-aging, anti-acne, anti-inflammatory benefits with certainty, but I can say that my stomach feels more settled and less acidic on days that I drink from the cup compared to days that I skip or forget to drink my copper-infused water.

To prevent tarnish, I clean my copper pieces regularly with very common ingredients – salt and ketchup (yes, really). First, I sprinkle the items with salt, coat it with ketchup, and then I rinse the cup with water and mild Castile soap to wash about any leftover ketchup. Then I dry the cup with a soft cloth.

You can also use baking soda and water, vinegar or lemon to clean your copper goodies.
 
 

The Takeaway

So, does copper help with pain and improve overall wellness? Yes! Copper is an essential addition to a healthy lifestyle. With regular use, it can help relieve and manage pain, regulate blood circulation and improve digestion, along with a host of other benefits.

So, go grab some copper! Here’s to your health.
