THE HEALING PROPERTIES OF COPPER nvelop yourself in a cradle of copper and allow its natural healing properties to rejuvenate your body and mind. In providing one with the benefits inherent in copper, the Sultan Bath in concert grants one the opportunity to experience an alternative form of holistic self-healing. Why is copper important for a healthy body? It is documented that copper restores movement of the body's joints and connective tissue. Health practitioners and scientists have found copper to be an effective anti-inflammatory remedy for rheumatism, arthritis, osteoporosis, tendonitis and sports injuries. Upon contact with the skin, the body naturally absorbs a small amount of copper directly into the circulatory system, avoiding the gastrointestinal side effects common with anti-inflammatory drugs. As our daily diets are often deficient in trace minerals such as copper, the absorption process works to gently replenish the body with this essential element. Why is copper important for healthy skin? As we age, our skin thins and lines and wrinkles develop as our bodies become slower to produce collagen, elastin and glycoaminoglycans, which essentially are the cement that bonds tissue components together. Age spots appear and skin becomes dull and lifeless as cell renewal slows and the skin retains less moisture. Copper plays a vital role in skin health by helping restore the skin's ability to repair itself. Copper is a powerful collagen and elastin provider, important in the production of glycoaminoglycans. This essential mineral also works as an antioxidant to protect the skin against damaging free radicals. In addition, the availability of sufficient copper permits copper-dependent enzymes to aid and augment natural tissue building processes.
