Wearing Amber to Help Soothe Pain ~ Natural Remedies
As my baby boys head into their seventh month of life…teething has begun! No baby is fun during the teething stage, let alone two!
My experience with teething growing up was to always slather their gums with orajel. But as I’ve been learning and growing in my knowledge of natural remedies and learned about the dangers of orajel, I knew there had to be natural ways to help my baby’s with teething and other pain control.
That’s when I learned about amber.
Amber: A Natural Pain Reliever
I am a skeptic at heart. I do not readily jump onto band wagons of the latest and greatest cure all. So I was naturally skeptical when I first heard about wearing amber as a natural pain reliever.
Amber is fossilized tree resin that is very pretty when made into jewelry and other objects. But amber’s benefits go far beyond simple beauty.
Spark of Amber shares a little bit about their amber,
Baltic Amber is a fossilized resin found in the Baltic Region, primarily in Lithuania. It contains 3-8% of Succinic Acid, long prized for its medicinal qualities. Amazingly, the highest content of the healing Succinic Acid is found in the EXTERNAL layer of the Baltic Amber.
Europeans greatly prize beautiful Baltic Amber for its claimed 100% natural anti-inflammatory, pain relieving, and calming properties for babies and toddlers. The healing oils (Succinic Acid) of the Baltic Amber are said to relieve teething pain, tame baby’s irritability, and relieve inflammation in the throat, ear, and stomach.
Authentic Baltic Amber is also used as an anti-toxic and anti-bacterial agent, for headaches, for skin irritations, for bronchial conditions, and for throat and thyroid conditions (along with many other uses).
When worn against the skin, amber has many medicinal and pain relieving benefits! I never would have dreamed that wearing a necklace could help soothe my baby’s aching gums!
The healing properties in the oils of the amber go into your skin and help with pain relief for both babies and adults! Cultures around the world have been using Amber for centuries.
