🚨Old folks said copper pulls the pain out.🚨

The penny pain remedy ⬇️

Older folks believed that copper could draw inflammation or pain out of the body. A common method was:

Tape a copper penny over the sore spot.

Leave it on the skin for several hours or overnight.

‼️The penny would sometimes turn dark or green, which people believed meant it “pulled the sickness out.”

A similar belief existed with copper bracelets worn for arthritis pain, which has been documented for centuries in folk medicine traditions.

Some families used pennies specifically for:

arthritis in the hands

joint pain

bee stings

swelling or bruises

🔔In some folk traditions, people would tape a copper penny to a bee sting to draw out the pain.

In hoodoo and Southern conjure, coins already carry spiritual meaning:

offerings at crossroads

payment for spirits

protection charms

money drawing work

So a copper penny placed on the body could serve two purposes at once:

1. a physical folk remedy
2. a spiritual drawing charm, pulling sickness away

That’s why elders often said things like:

“Copper draws the bad out.”
