Copper Bracelets Haven’t Been Proven To Help Arthritis
Some claim that copper bracelets help relieve arthritis. The idea is that the surrounding skin absorbs small copper particles that work to regrow joint cartilage. Scientists at the University of York decided to put this claim to the test.
They gave participants either a copper bracelet, magnetic wrist strap, or a placebo band. The results showed no difference in relief between all three. Researchers think that the unproven belief may stem from the fact that arthritis pain comes in waves.
