Copper is an essential micro nutrient needed for red blood formation, protein metabolism, the production of RNA, enzyme activity, hair and skin colour and the health of nerves. It is a great topical pain relief on muscles and joints. Copper is also traditionally associated with Arthritis and Rheumatism and it is a powerful substance for that purpose. It crosses over into Gold territory, with claims of it being a veritable "Fountain of Youth".

Copper deficiency can result in:

• grey hair,

• skin wrinkles (including crow's feet),

• varicose veins and

• saggy skin.

Colloidal Copper is touted as being able to:

• return grey hair back to it's natural colour,

• improve the elastic fiber in the skin,

• increase skin flexibility, and

• acts as an anti-wrinkle agent.

Copper has been described as the "workhorse mineral." As a co-factor for at least 13 enzymes, copper drives a crucial array of chemical reactions that underpin human health and development.

In Homeopathy copper is used to treat:

• Cramps,

• Convulsions,

• Nervous disorders,

• Sexual organ imbalances and

• Physical exhaustion from over exhaustion of the mind (such as migraine or loss of sleep).

In recent years, there have been several surveys of the clinical effectiveness of wearing a copper bracelet. Preliminary results have suggested that wearing one does indeed ease Arthritis and Rheumatism and aids in copper assimilation into the body. Copper also alleviates Anaemia and Molybdenum deficiency.

Copper is used as a remedy for:

• Grey hair,

• Burns,

• Ankylosing Spondylitis,

• Osteoarthritis,

• Parasites,

• Rheumatism and

• Sciatica.

Copper is described as the liquid roto-rooter to cleanse the blood circulatory system. Copper scrubs the arteries and veins of pollutants and helps maintain their good health. Copper also acts as a brain/synapse stimulator and for that reason should not be taken neat orally at night time before resting, as in some people it can have the same effect as caffeine.
