Chances are, if you’ve attended the B.I.R.T.H. Fair or a
similar event in the past, you’ve spotted adorable babies (and their mamas)
sporting a string of amber beads around their necks. Those necklaces are more
than just stylish; they actually possess some pretty amazing therapeutic
benefits. Baltic amber necklaces are growing in popularity within natural
parenting circles due to their ability to alleviate the symptoms of teething
without the need for drugs, medication or gels.
Baltic amber is not a stone, but a fossilized tree resin.
Centuries ago, Baltic amber was considered one of the leading medicines of its
time and was used to treat a variety of ailments. It offers pain relief,
strengthens the body’s immune system, restores energy, helps maintain wellness,
helps break the cycle of chronic inflammation, and has a calming effect for the
wearer. Baltic amber has been used as a remedy for teething for thousands of
years, particularly in European countries.
The amber from the Baltic Sea is the most esteemed amber in
the world and the healing qualities of Baltic amber make it unlike any other
type of amber on earth. When Baltic amber is worn against the skin, the body’s
warmth releases trace amounts of healing oils from the amber. These oils
contain succinic acid and are absorbed into the skin. A natural analgesic,
amber helps remedy restlessness, irritability, sleep trouble and pain. Amber is
equally beneficial for adults as
it is for babies
and children. Some conditions which may benefit from the healing properties
of amber are: arthritis, carpal tunnel, headaches, neck/shoulder pain, TMJ,
anxiety, and much more. An increasing number of people are seeking more
natural, safe alternatives to over-the-counter medications. Amber is a perfect
solution, as there are absolutely no side effects. Amber teething necklaces
make excellent gifts and are always a great conversation piece.
A common misconception regarding amber teething necklaces
is that they are for the baby to “teethe” on, similar to a teething ring or
Sophie giraffe. Amber necklaces are made for wearing, not for chewing! Their
benefit is derived from the healing oils which are absorbed through the skin. Genuine
Baltic amber is a delicate substance and
may break under pressure, which is why the necklace should be short enough that
the child cannot get it into their mouth. The butter and white varieties are
the most expensive and most fragile amber, being comprised of a sap & cream
mixture, so amber jewelry should be treated with care just as you would any
other piece of fine jewelry. Genuine amber will vary in shape and contain
natural inclusions. Amber may contain bits of
fossilized organic material such as tree bark, moss, or even insects!
This is part of the beauty of real amber.

everyone, but especially from Angela's Amber!”
