Copper has been used to promote health in various ways since ancient times. The ancient Egyptians used it to purify drinking water, and cultures around the world use it as a form of medicine for such afflictions as sore throats, eye infections, and skin conditions. It is also applied to wounds to prevent infection. In modern times, copper has been found to have antibacterial properties making it perfect for ancient use. Copper can be used on surfaces or woven into fabrics to prevent the spread of bacteria.

Like some other metals, including iron and zinc, copper is beneficial in the diet, although it is toxic in excess amounts. Copper is essential for the metabolic functions of all animals and plants. The recommended daily intake for adults is 0.9 mg/day. Dietary copper aids in the function of the cardiovascular system, as well as promoting a healthy immune system and bone health. These benefits can only come from consuming copper and not wearing copper jewelry. Some natural sources of dietary copper are shellfish, organ meats, legumes, nuts, whole grains, green leafy vegetables, dried fruits, and yeast.
