- Triloka Copper Power Bracelet Triloka Copper Power Bracelet is made with 100% pure, fair trade, hand-crafted copper with magnets. Copper was the first metal known to man. For 10,000 years, it has been fashioned into jewelry and small tools. Recent research shows that copper inhibits bacterial growth. Copper is also an important mineral, necessary for metabolism of all living organisms. People ingest it through different foods. The use of metals for medicinal purposes is found throughout recorded history. There have been claims that the wearing of copper bracelets alleviates the symptoms of arthritis, rheumatism, tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Fair Trade Background of Windrose Trading Company At Windrose, they provide the highest quality Triloka aromatherapy incense and handcrafted gifts by supporting Fair Trade cottage industry partners. Windrose founders were among the first pioneers of Fair Trade cottage industry in India and Nepal. It has always been at the core of the values to partner with suppliers who are supporting worthy projects or foundations. Net profits from a long-time Triloka incense producer have been supporting an Ayurvedic free clinic in India for over 20 years. The sage is sustainably harvested by a Native American reservation cooperative, which is preserving a sacred native tradition while providing income for an impoverished community. For over a decade, the main partner providing Nepali handcrafts has supported a monastery housing over 200 monks. One of Triloka's long-time Indian partners is a member of IFAT, the International Fair Trade Organization. This group has been actively promoting Fair Trade since the 1970s, and has made tremendous impact on the community through their efforts. They focus on ensuring that all artisans have the training and support needed. They educate and campaign against child labor and illiteracy, while promoting environmental awareness and human rights. Their efforts continue to expand and they grow, and more artisans are benefitting from being part of this collaboration all the time. Developing and maintaining long-term, sustainable relationships with the Fair Trade partners is an integral part of Windrose Trading's culture. Many of the partners have been improving products since the brand was founded in 1977. Fair Trade partnerships are based on the Gandhian concept of cottage industry, in which production happens in small workshops or in the home. Producers determine the price for the finished product. They have visited many of the workplaces, and they are safe and pleasant environments. Triloka supports Fair Trade partners in many ways. Depending on the need, they sometimes advance suppliers payment in order for them to more easily produce items. They also adapt some of the artisans' designs to appeal to the western market and accommodate current trends, ensuring greater sales of the items they create. Windrose plans to continue to nurture and support these partnerships for many years to come. Fair Trade can be defined as trading practices that promote worker welfare, minimize environmental damage, and allow producers to increase their living standards. In Fair Trade cottage industry partnerships such as Windrose Trading, production happens in small family businesses, often at home. Therefore, the working conditions and prices for the finished products are set by the producers themselves. The primary focus is to partner with suppliers who are supporting worthy projects, foundations or individual families. They are committed to working with partners who are environmentally conscious, use recycled materials and sustainable practices. They travel each year to visit their working partners and collaborate on new projects, products and designs. Triloka stays in their homes and are treated like family.
