Copper Currency

Copper is the oldest metal of humankind, dating back more than 10,000 years.

For centuries, It has been used to create everything from tools and cookware to coins and jewelry. Its conductivity makes it especially valuable, and its warm glow is unique among metals.

Copper also benefits the body — in more ways than one.

Copper Water Bottle

“Copper is a mineral that you need to stay healthy. Your body uses copper to carry out many important functions, including making energy, connective tissue, and blood vessels. Copper also helps maintain the nervous and immune systems and activates genes. Your body also needs copper for brain development.” - National Institutes of Health (NIH) Copper is an oligodynamic metal, meaning it contains charged molecules that can destroy bacterial cells, fungi, spores, and viruses. This gives it the power to disinfect and purify water.

When water is stored in a copper vessel for several hours, copper ions are released. By consuming copper water, we can introduce its healing properties into our bodies. Benefits of Copper:

• Assists with digestion, detoxifying and cleansing the stomach and gut
• Anti-inflammatory (relieves arthritis)
• Induces red blood cell production, strengthens nerve cells
• Reduces free radicals in the body that damage cells and cause illness
• Helps the body absorb iron
• Contains anti-microbial and anti-viral properties to strengthen immunity

A copper water bottle is a convenient way to stay hydrated while introducing a new boost in wellness.

Our new 650 ml Copper Bottles come in an assortment of designs and colours, both playful and classic. Simply pick your favourite! With a screw-top lid and non-slip base, these bottle can go anywhere you go! Tips:

1. Fill copper bottle and store in a cool place for 8 hours before drinking (do not refrigerate the bottle)
2. The best time to drink copper-stored water is in the morning on an empty stomach.
3. Moderate your consumption. Drinking water from a copper bottle once or twice a day is sufficient — more than that may be too much.
4. Take breaks in between drinking water from a copper vessel to allow the body to flush out excess copper (ie., two months on, one month off.)

Please Note: The body does not require significant amounts of copper to experience the benefits.

Copper Jewelry

Copper can also be therapeutic when worn ornamentally as a bracelet or band. As an ancient remedy for arthritis, a magnetized copper bracelet is believed to promote blood circulation and alleviate joint pain through magnetic therapy. Copper Bracelet: Whale

Engraved with striking Indigenous artwork, this copper band is crafted in open-cuff style with two healing magnets.

The Whale motif was designed by Haida artist and metal crafter Gordon White. In his own words: “Our art is central to our culture and speaks to who we are as a people. Sharing art offers insights into our connections with the natural world.” The Whale Copper Band is 0.75” wide and measures 6” in diameter. It is also available in several additional designs: Higher Power, Eagle, and Raven and Moon.
