Pretty Little Thing For Pain: Baltic Amber

Baltic amber is a pretty, little pain relief secret.

 

 

The active ingredient is succinic acid, which is used in both pharmaceutical and homeopathic remedies.
Baltic Amber has about 5% succinic acid (anywhere from 3%-8%).
It's a super antioxdant, aiding the neural and immune systems.

 

 

 

(Succinic Acid: A colorless crystalline dicarboxylic acid)

 

And there is NO evidence that having "too much" succinic acid is harmful.

 

Cosmetically this is sometimes called "elixir of youth" and is used for anti aging.

It prevents build up of harmful oxidants.
It also supports energy at a cellular level.

 

They work wonders on teething babies!

 

I was a bit skeptical, at first.

A necklace, on a baby?!  Isn't that dangerous!  Look how small those beads are!  Isn't that a choking hazard, for them to chew on?

 

The thing is, they DON'T chew on the necklace.

The succinic acid reacts with the body temperature to relieve the pain caused by teething.

 

The Baltic amber teething necklaces for babies are not supposed to come past their chin.

Each bead is individually knotted, so if the baby (or anything) were to pull on it, it would break and only one bead would break off.
So, the likelihood that it would be swallowed is very slim to none.
In the rare case it does end up in the baby's mouth, they are small enough they will just be swallowed and not choked on.

 

They really do work!

 

Being that the baby can't really tell me if it is or not, I bought one for a family member who has carpal tunnel very bad- to the point is disturbs sleep.

After wearing the necklace (wrapped around to be a bracelet) it does not hurt at all.

 

I wore one.

After pinching a nerve in my back and causing pain down my arm and chest, it felt almost instantly better once I put on the necklace.
