Copper, one of the most valuable metal in the industrial sector for making industrial and telecom cables is also gaining prominent place in medicine and in skin care.
Centuries old Indian system of medicine, Ayurveda has already attributed several medicinal uses for Copper chiefly based on its anti-bacterial properties. Storing water for three hours in copper vessels, for instance, is known to kill harmful bacteria and prevent certain diseases such as skin inflammation and piles, as well as spleen, respiratory, and gynecological disorders.
The metal is also known for its anti-aging properties as it stimulates collagen production. Collagen is a group of naturally occurring proteins, which is the main component of connective tissue.
The commodity has also been used by many skin care brands as the main ingredient. Copper, along with iron, helps in the formation of red blood cells. It also helps in keeping the blood vessels, nerves, immune system, and bones healthy.
Many researches and studies have been started by pharmaceutical companies and medical institutes exploring the possibilities of copper.
One of such studies includes the skin repairing. According to Dr. Loren Pickart, a biochemist, who was doing researches on Copper has discovered skin remodeling copper peptides which are integral to the cycle of skin renewal.
Keeping in view the importance of the metal in medicine as well as in skin care, ShalinIndia, an online shopping store, has launched today a unique pitcher and glass set, made entirely in pure copper.
“According to Ayurveda or the knowledge of long life, drinking water from copper tumblers is also known to prevent premature aging. To the delight of the modern cosmetics industry, copper has been found to stimulate collagen production, and some of the most well known brands in skin care have since integrated copper into skin creams for treating wrinkles”, said Shalini Verma, founder of ShalinIndia .
It can see that in near future the value of copper is to go up rocket high as the demand for skin care medicines are raising.
