Copper bracelets?

[jenr]

I was talking to Mum about my wrist and it may be arthritis?
She wears a copper bracelet on her wrist when its starts to ache and finds relief?
I am a bit sceptical but I suppose it wouldnt hurt has anyone tried or heard much about these copper bracelets?
I suppose only old people wear them?:hehe:

[sandydee]

Have seen them on younger people Jen:yes: worth a go I reckon:yes:

[jenr]

Yeh thanks Sandy I am going to sus it out I googled it they say there is no scientific fact to say it works?
But I know of people who swear by it?

[sandydee]

:yes: one of my clients had one and I asked her about it,she swore by it too,I am at the stage where anything is worth a try.....thats why I am going to see a Chinese herbalist next week....cant wait:)

[catnip56]

Hi there, they do work and I think nowadays they are a little more moden looking just shop around.. good luck.

[airgirl]

hello, i work in a pharmacy and we sell them generally most clients say that they do* work* its only a small number of people who used them who said it didnt help at all. be careful there are some bracelets that dont have a coating on them or come with a "lifetime guarantee" and they can leave your skin with a greenish taint* :)

[lucyloo]

lmao everyone will think you are turning into the hulk jen :D

[Mad Old Cow]

give it a go Jen it can't hurt personally i don't think they help but hey you won't know if you don't try

[jenr]

I spoke to the doc about it yesterday he said he has patients who swear by them. He said there is no medical reasson to say if they work or dont work? I am going to buy one in Adelaide

[dollie]

My FIL wears one, says he has for years and swears by it. Fish oil tablets are also a good thing, I think?

[miss kiki]

i don't have a copper one, but a metal one/silver i think..i'm not sure exactly. i never saw any difference with mine, but like wearing it because i think it's cute! :hehe:

definitely try it. it's worth a try! :)

I think the latest thing is the magnetic hematite....its normally a light blackish colour but comes in coloured now.

my sister swears by this and wouldnt go out without it being on.


i think though you are supposed to re charge it when its a full moon...:hehe: not really sure on the details for that but i think you may leave it out in the moonllight....

[jenr]

Thanks Melinda where do you get them from?

[Melinda]

My gran wears one Jen and she is 90 this year and still drives and is fantastic for her age, I would give it a go, what have you got to loose?

[Mesmereyes]

LMAO Jen, I was just having a milo and read this and nearly choked on it LMAO.

Yes A, May the 10th I think LOL.

Are you reading this Cole? :P

[dollie]

I know when someone explained the concept to me, it sounded plausible. Something to do with the copper attracting the iron in your blood so it helps circulation. Is that right? Or is that magnets?
Good luck with it, Jen. I hope it works for you.

[sandydee]

I bought a magnetic bangle at the chemist last week:yes: its helped ease the pains a bit:D

[Cherie]

I bought a Magnetic Bracelet for my wrist as I think I have Arthritus along my thumb.
I only had it on for a few mins when DH asked if it was working.. I said yes I think so, because it feels like I have cut all the circulation off.LMAO LMAO

[mel76]

LMAO LMAO LMAO
oh cherie i'm just visualizing it!!!!

[jenr]

I bought a copper bracelet but when I was playing golf and perspiring it left a terrible stain on my wrist I didnt like that?:brow:

[Heather]

Paint the inside with colourless nail polish....or jewellers should have a product called "Hypo-shield" a brush on jewellers coating.

[sandydee]

well the magnetic bangle must be doing something for me:yes: the pain hasnt been as bad lately since wearing it:) good investment for $19 :D so far

[red fairy]

They come in nice designs now.

My ds got one for me last year. I think it helped my thumb that is really sore, more than my fingers

but it could be in my mind..:blink:

[sandydee]

mine is silver with gold scrolling of flowers on it,just looks like a nice bangle:D

Good luck with it, Jen. I hope it works for you.

I got it from Maloufs chemist:yes:not sure if you have one of them down there?

[dollie]

Yeah, I don't know if we have them. I don't need one myself, I just find it interesting. Glad that people can find relief from something so simple.
