How effective do you think copper jewellery is in treating arthritis?

Question

Have you found it works for you? Do you use rings, bracelets or what? How long have you used it? Do any other metals also bring relief?

Answer 1

Well I can say this much about it, my dad is 83 years old now and several years ago his joints hurt him so bad with arthritis that it was not funny. He started wearing a copper bracelet, and has been for years now. He has not had any pain in his joints since. But I also think it would depend on what type of arthritis it is as well as if it works or not. And it is NOT in your head either as in "if you believe it works it will and if you don't it won't". That saying is for the birds in this case. And yes it does turn your skin green, but guess what..soap and water will wash that away, even though it comes back every day. But hey if you don't hurt any more, what is a little green skin.

Answer 2

I don't mind the green on my finger very much, though I might if it wasn't just on the underside of my finger. What I mind is whatever the silver colored metal was on top of the copper wearing off and then the corrosion of said copper making what was once a very pretty amethyst ring sadly ugly.

As for copper helping to relieve sore joints, I haven't heard much about that. Around here (SE MN) and where I went to college (NE MN) the big thing for joints is magnetic jewelry.

Answer 3

I tried for a six month period, no change for the better, in fact, I got worse. I don't believe the copper caused it to get worse, I think the copper was ineffective, and a true waste of my money.

Answer 4

I know it leaves a green ring on my skin. Thats about it.

Answer 5

some swear by it.

Answer 6

I think it's all in the head, if you think it will work, it does.
