Benefits/History
In holistic practices, wearing copper on your left side is considered the "receptive" side. Copper can aid in grounding practices & protective energy. In many studies, copper is known to boost energy, assist with balancing hormones & has been known to aid with inflammation & blood circulation. Some studies prove that copper may also reduce wrinkles & promote skin elasticity. In the early years, copper was known to have antimicrobial properties by reducing infection rates & being used to sterilize environments & drinking water.
Copper Care
After wearing your piece(s) for some time, your copper may tarnish due to oxygen & moisture from your body reacting with the copper material. This could cause a harmless green stain to appear. Simply soak your piece(s) in a vinegar or lemon juice & salt mixture for a few minutes until it shines, then rinse & pat the piece completely dry with a towel to avoid water stains.
