What are benefits of a daily copper support ritual?

While tongue scraping with copper provides the direct benefits of removing bacteria and improving oral hygiene, there is also potential for small amounts of copper to be absorbed through the mucous membranes of the mouth. Here are some specific health benefits of copper absorption for the human body:

 

• Antioxidant Activity ~ Copper is an essential trace mineral involved in the production of antioxidants like superoxide dismutase (SOD). This enzyme neutralizes free radicals, which helps prevent oxidative stress that can lead to cellular damage, aging, and diseases. By scraping your tongue with copper, tiny amounts of this mineral may support your body’s natural antioxidant defenses, aiding in overall cellular protection.

• Supports Immune Function ~ Copper plays a critical role in maintaining a healthy immune system. It helps the body develop and maintain immune cells, and its antimicrobial properties help prevent the growth of harmful pathogens. As a result, regular use of a copper tongue scraper might indirectly support your immune system by preventing oral bacteria from proliferating and potentially being absorbed into the body.

 

•  Improves Iron Absorption ~ Copper is essential for the absorption and utilization of iron. It helps transport iron to cells where it’s used to produce hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. Insufficient copper levels can lead to anemia-like symptoms due to reduced iron absorption. Though the amounts absorbed via the tongue scraper are small, over time, they may contribute to maintaining adequate copper levels in the body, which in turn helps with iron regulation.

• Supports Cardiovascular Health ~ Copper is critical for heart health because it helps maintain healthy blood vessels, nerves, and immune function. It is involved in the production of elastin and collagen, which are essential for the structural integrity of blood vessels and heart tissue. Healthy levels of copper can contribute to reduced risks of cardiovascular diseases, such as high blood pressure or aneurysms.

• Anti-Inflammatory Properties ~ Copper has natural anti-inflammatory properties. It may help reduce inflammation in the body, which can alleviate symptoms related to joint pain, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions. Even small amounts absorbed through a copper tongue scraper may contribute to lowering inflammation levels over time.

• Brain Health and Cognitive Function ~ Copper is essential for the proper functioning of the brain and nervous system. It helps maintain the balance of neurotransmitters (chemicals that transmit signals in the brain) and supports cognitive function. Adequate copper levels in the body are associated with improved memory, mood, and overall cognitive health.

•  Energy Production ~ Copper plays a role in the production of energy at the cellular level. It helps enzymes involved in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy currency of cells. A healthy amount of copper ensures that cells have the energy they need for proper functioning, which can lead to increased vitality and overall well-being.

• Skin and Tissue Repair ~ Copper is critical for the production of collagen and elastin, which are necessary for the health and repair of skin and connective tissues. While tongue scraping primarily focuses on oral health, small amounts of copper absorbed by the body can contribute to skin repair, wound healing, and maintaining the elasticity of tissues over time. 

 

Also, 

Copper has natural antimicrobial properties, meaning it can kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other harmful microbes. When used as a tongue scraper, copper helps to remove bacteria and toxins that accumulate on the tongue, preventing their reabsorption into the body. This makes copper particularly effective in maintaining oral hygiene.
