For centuries, gold was viewed as a symbol of wealth – both in ornament form and in jewellery. Today, it is a much-loved accessory you can buy from a jewellery store and wear with a range of garments. While the view of gold may have changed from what it once was, there is one thing that people in both modern times and ancient times believe to be true: that it can be beneficial for your body.
While scientific evidence is limited and often circumstantial, many people swear by gold – both in jewellery and colloidal form to help with common ailments. Whether you believe it to be true or not, you may find the following information to be helpful when buying your next gold pieces from jewellers.
Skincare
Modern skincare medicine usually is very effective, but there has to be a reason why Cleopatra once made a face mask out of pure gold with the intention of keeping her skin youthful and glowing. According to modern research, she wasn’t too far off the money with her theory. Gold can help to keep that radiant and youthful glow you always wanted, and as a result, it features in many high-quality beauty products. Before you grind up Grandma’s old necklace, however, be sure to check out what health products are available that already feature gold.
Arthritis
While much of the gold benefits are circumstantial, the connection between gold and arthritis is well-documented and even endorsed by medical professionals. According to research, wearing 24-karat gold directly against your skin can help to alleviate symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
Sores
If you have been suffering from an infection, scab, or another painful wound, that is taking longer than you thought it would to heal, then maybe gold can help. When you put gold on your skin, it helps to relax your blood vessels, making blood flow faster and regulating oxygen production. The more oxygen circulating throughout your body, the faster your wounds will heal. Want to see if it works? Check out a few jewellers in search of the perfect gold item.
Immunity
Is your immune system weak? Do you suffer from hot flushes and night sweats? Once again, gold can be of assistance. With temperature-regulating properties, it works to stabilise your temperature while improving your immune system in the process. If this sounds like something you could benefit from, then head to a few jewellers – its’ a good excuse to purchase something new!
Modern medicine has come a long way in recent years, but gold is making sure that traditional yet effective healthcare techniques remain relevant. There’s no time like the present to check out your local jeweller’s in search of the perfect gold piece. Even if it doesn’t help with your ailments – it’s bound to make you look stunning.
