Amber stones have long been known for their healing properties and medicinal purposes and though there are some sceptics, it really does have a lot of positive effects when you look at the facts. It has a resin has been used for the last 13,000 years in some form or another and its scent has been extracted for several perfumes and other aromatic purposes.
So, with that in mind, I decided to research its role as a cure for baby-teething and boy was I impressed. Amber produces a natural chemical called “succine acid' which comes to the gems surface when heated. As amber teething necklace warms up from the child’s body heat, it releases this gentle and nature pain relieving chemical. So simple!
That's not even taking into account a handful of other, smaller facts such as its honey-like colour, which is meant to be soothing to the child's visual sense and its soft and smooth texture which is supposed to be great for the child’s sense of touch. Plus it probably looks extremely cute on toddlers as well!
The Amber baby teething necklace was used by the Germans to help with teething problems right up until World War II. Amber stones were harder to come by during this period and the popularity if amber baby teething necklaces dwindled to such low levels, it was never picked up again when the war ended.
Mums and parents from all over the world have been raving about it for quite a while now on all sorts of websites and forums (from Switzerland to Spain to Chile!). I've even seen some parent’s claim it was 'the greatest things they've ever bought for their child'!
I wish I had been advised about the Amber baby teething necklace when my children were growing up!!
