copper bracelets
Penny-colored arm bands
Copper bracelets are jewelry worn on the wrist, often marketed with claims of health benefits—particularly relief from arthritis or joint pain.
Despite persistent folk belief that copper absorbed through the skin reduces inflammation, scientific studies have found no therapeutic effect beyond placebo.
The bracelets sometimes leave a greenish discoloration on skin from oxidation.
