Copper, with its distinctive reddish-brown shimmer, has always been more than just an aesthetic metal. Even in ancient times, its properties were appreciated, not only for healing, but also for its spiritual significance. Today, in the age of the wellness revolution, copper is a material that accompanies and inspires us on both a physical and spiritual level.
The Magic of Copper – its historical and Spiritual Significance
Copper is one of the oldest metals used by mankind and has a long tradition as a healing agent and energy provider. The ancient Egyptians used copper to treat illnesses and heal wounds. They saw it as a metal of the gods that brought not only physical healing but also spiritual purification.
Spiritually, copper is often seen as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. It conducts energies, releases blockages and supports the harmonization of the chakras. The root chakra in particular is stimulated by copper, making it an invaluable companion for grounding and protection. Its warming energy helps to release inner tensions and regain emotional balance - perfect for times of unrest or inner chaos.
Copper in the health and beauty industry
Copper is not only spiritually powerful, but also plays a prominent role in the modern health and beauty industry. It is often used in luxury anti-aging products and skincare serums that rely on copper peptides to promote skin regeneration, reduce inflammation and stimulate collagen production. What is particularly notable is how copper works in skincare: it improves skin elasticity and promotes a natural, youthful glow. Copper supports the oxygen supply to the skin, which in turn boosts cell metabolism and ensures radiant skin. Products containing copper peptides are increasingly used in high-priced cosmetic lines to revitalize and soothe the skin.
Synergies with herbs – Unleash the full energy of copper
Copper has its strongest energetic effect when combined with certain plants. This synergy between copper and selected herbs can not only enhance the protective and healing effect, but also transform your personal energy.
- Basil and Bergamot (as in our *Burst Your Energy* candle): These two essences enhance the vitalizing and refreshing properties of copper and help you to recharge your batteries.
- Amber and Sandalwood (in our *Calm Your Mind* candle): These earthy scents enhance the calming effects of copper and help you find serenity and inner peace. They intensify copper's ability to dissipate negative energies and calm your mind.
- Neroli and Tonka (in our *Nourish Your Soul* candle): These scents support the nourishing and protective properties of copper and promote emotional healing and spiritual balance.
- Cedar, sage and rosemary: These herbs are also wonderful companions to copper as they amplify its energetic vibrations. Cedar and sage have a cleansing and protective effect, while rosemary provides clarity and mental strength.
