While this information is controversial, a double-blind study in Australia concluded that copper bracelets reduced pain and inflammation. The hypothesis is that copper is absorbed through the skin and chelated to another compound that exerts and anti-inflammatory action. Copper is part of ceruloplasmin and SOD (superoxide dismutase), compounds that have antioxidant activity that may contribute benefits to the treatment of arthritis. CLEANING COPPER: It's SO easy. Either slice a lemon or pour some lemon juice in a small bowl. Rub the lemon onto the copper or pat some juice on the copper. Within seconds you will see it begin to brighten. Rinse well and shake/pat dry. That's it
