Copper bracelets - Reiki


Does anybody believe in wearing copper bracelets? They are supposedly healthy. I'm not sure if they have any effect on seizure control since they could be potentially conductive. Some people believe in a 'force' around the body like Reiki. People who practice Reiki have to go through some kind of training. I haven't tried it.

What's your opinion?

When I sold jewellery I had lots of people asking for copper bracelets for arthritis but I don't know of any connection to epilepsy.

I wore one as a teen and it turned my wrist a pretty green.

I also knew the drummer from Oingo Boingo and he wore a pyramid on his head. Not sure if it was made out of copper. Odd but nice guy.

Perhaps for those low in copper it might. I am not sure the ratio of mineral absorbed, if at all.
