Benefits of Baltic Amber

I have a Baltic Amber Jewelry store! Baltic Amber Avenue Can you believe it?! I know, I should mention it more! Well here we go! 

Baltic Amber is a fossilized tree resin. Historically, it has been used as a natural and traditional remedy and curative for many ailments for centuries.

When Baltic Amber is worn on the skin, the skin’s warmth releases trace amounts of Succinic Acid from the amber. To receive a therapeutic benefit, Baltic amber must come in direct contact with the skin.

Baltic Amber has some of the highest concentrations of Succinic Acid found in nature, and this is what makes it so special. Amber found elsewhere in the world does not contain these high concentrations. Succinic Acid is a natural component of plant and animal tissues, and its presence in the human body is beneficial in many ways…

• Pain Relief
Baltic Amber contains analgestic properties and helps take the edge off many types of discomfort.
(For teething pain, this style of jewelry has been designed with children in mind! The chord will break if much pressure is applied and the strand is knotted between each bead – if it does break, there won’t be beads everywhere! Only one or two should fall off the strand.)

• Helps break the cycle of (chronic) inflammation
Where chronic inflammation is present, disease lurks. When the body’s cells are chronically inflamed the human body’s immune system response is to increase production of free radicals. Chronic overproduction of free radicals results in inflammatory-related disease. Chronic inflammation is a common denominator of many seemingly unrelated diseases.

• Restores Energy
The human body naturally produces succinic acid. The salt of succinic acid (succinate) is one of the most active substances in the processes of cellular respiration and intercellular energy creation. Succinic acid restores oxygen and energy supply to depleted cells and helps the body return to a normal, functioning state.
Succinate is a raw material and a catalyst in the Krebs Cycle which is one of our main sources of energy. During the Krebs Cycle carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are metabolized for energy.

• Maintains Wellness
When the human body reacts to stress, the body’s cells begin to use oxygen more quickly. Oxygen plays a central role in the intercellular creation of energy, and a lack of oxygen can result in feeling lethargic.
Oxygen is alkaline-forming in the blood and maintaining a slightly alkaline blood ph helps keep us healthy. Whenever the body functions in a state of low oxygen, it is much more susceptible to illness.

How to get the maximum therapeutic benefit from wearing your Baltic Amber:
* The amber must rest against your skin continuously
-  Necklaces must be worn under a shirt
-  Bracelets should be worn snug
-  Anklets can be worn under socks


* The amber should be worn as much as possible
- For adults, 24 hours a day – 7 days a week (except when bathing) is ideal!
- For children, necklaces should be removed from the neck when the child sleeps. In some cases some parents choose to move the necklace to the ankle just prior to the child going to sleep. This is done by double-wrapping the necklace around the ankle, and placing a sock over the foot to keep the necklace stationary and warm.
Do NOT let children chew on Baltic Amber beads.

* Wear Baltic Amber as close to the site of discomfort as you can get it
- Wear a necklace for a headache, a bracelet for arthritis in the hands, etc.

With care, your Baltic Amber jewelry can last a lifetime!

• Clean with lukewarm water and a soft cloth
- Avoid detergents and cleansers as the leave a residue on the amber that interferes with its ability to release its healing oils into the skin.

• Remove your amber:
- While you bathe
- While in the pool, spa, or in other highly chlorinated water
- Anytime you apply lotions, sunscreens, perfumes, etc, to the area where you wear the amber. These substances leave a residue on the amber that will interfere with its ability to release it healing oils into the skin.


Of course, this post has nothing to do with curly hairdo ideas, but it definitely has to do with kids! So I hope you enjoyed, and maybe learned something new about Baltic Amber jewelry.
