Baltic Amber Teething Necklace

How does it work?

When a baby is wearing an amber teething necklace on the skin, the skin’s warmth releases healing oils from the amber (a resin) which are absorbed via the skin into the bloodstream. Amber is not a stone and therefore warm to the touch, as well as very comfortable and light to wear.

Children wearing amber is a very old traditional custom in Europe and the Far East. Amber is known to reduce inflammation of the throat, ear and stomach and to fight inflammation, infections and respiratory disease.

Traditional beaded amber teething necklaces are a less intrusive remedy for the pain and side effects of teething, such as a lack of appetite, upset tummies, ear ache, fevers and colds. A natural analgesic, amber will help calm a baby without resorting to drugs. Amber’s anti-inflammatory and therapeutic properties are also recognized by allopathic medicine. The healing properties of amber include calmative, analgesic, antispasmodic, expectorant, and febrifuge (anti-fever) functions.

Metaphysical

Wearing Baltic Amber also protects us against the negative influences of electrical equipment like computers, televisions, mobile phone and microwave ovens.

When Baltic Amber is rubbed, it changes ionization and can attract light objects with its electrical charge. The Baltic Amber absorbs this energy, which then allows the body to work on positive influences such as our frame of mind and the rebuilding of disturbed electrostatic fields.

When can my baby start wearing the necklace?  

The necklace may be worn from 8 weeks and up. Although you can start your child wearing this necklace at any time, the earlier the better. If your child wears it at a young age they will not even know it is there and they will not touch it or pull on it.

These necklaces are not for chewing. They are generally worn at night when your child is of teething age.
