What Is An Amber Teething Necklace

April 27, 2010 - PRLog -- The most immediate reaction from people who are new to this incredible phenomenon would be: “Teething necklace? Does the child chew it?” The answer is absolutely not! An amber teething necklace is made from Genuine Baltic amber, an organic substance-fossil resin that was produced under natural conditions at least 45 million years ago. The unique substance of amber has anti-inflammatory properties which can be absorbed when it is worn against the skin. Hence, teething necklaces which soothe a child naturally when he or she suffers from teething pain.

The actual practice of making amber amulets for children and adults is ancient history. Traditionally, amulets were carved into various shapes and were worn to ward off evil spirits – or just plain bad luck. It’s also a very strong possibility that because these amulets also reduced inflammation and discomfort for their wearers, they are still worn in places like Europe and the Far East.

Why does genuine Baltic Amber act as an anti-inflammatory? Scientists have concluded that amber’s primary element, succinic acid, is the key. Small amounts of this acid, also known as “essence of amber,” are passed on to people who wear amber jewelry against their skin. When it comes to amber teething necklaces, http://www.amberartisans.com/ amber artisans carefully string together multiple beads of amber to further enhance the anti-inflammatory effect on teething pain.

Currently, there are two different thoughts as to why wearing amber on the skin can have soothing and calming effects on teething children. One thought suggests that when amber is worn on the skin, the skin's warmth releases miniscule amounts of healing oils from amber which are then absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream. The other theory is based on scientific findings which have shown that amber is electromagnetically alive and produces significant amounts of organic, purely natural energy.
