We hear it everywhere – Baltic Amber is wonderful for teething babies and even for children and adult pain relief. Baltic amber has been aiding people with pain relief for centuries! However, the key is to finding true Baltic Sea-Grade Amber with no alterations and we have found it through a reliable source – Healing Amber. Healing Amber uses only natural, 100% authentic Baltic Amber!
♥ Did you know that amber releases healing oils that act as a natural pain and stress reliever, and can help ease the discomforts of teething and growing pains!
♥ Baltic Amber teething necklaces are worn by babies, children and adults to not only help alleviate the pains and discomforts of teething but also to ease symptoms of other ailments including pain and arthritis.
♥ Amber is a fossilized resin, not a stone. It is therefore warm to the touch, as well as very comfortable and light to wear.
♥ Wearing Baltic Amber necklaces and bracelets on the skin can have a soothing and calming effect on teething babies and toddlers.
♥ When amber is worn on the skin, the skin’s warmth releases small amounts of healing oils from the amber which are then absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream.
♥ Amber’s anti-inflammatory and therapeutic properties are also recognized by allopathic medicine.
♥ The necklaces are also a wonderful distraction for fidgety hands while nursing, feeding and babywearing!
What is Baltic Amber?
Baltic Amber is a fossilized tree resin and comes in a variety of shapes and colours. Baltic Amber is made for wearing (not chewing or ingestion). Amber contains succinic acid, a natural analgesic and healing agent. Amber will warm up against your body and the succinic acid will be absorbed through your skin helping with pain relief.
Used for centuries, Baltic Amber has been used for a variety of ailments from teething pain to arthritis. Scientific research has shown that succinic acid has a very positive influence on the human body. It improves immunity and the balance of acids when absorbed into the bloodstream, it stimulates the thyroid glands to help reduce drooling, and helps soothe inflammed areas. Amber’s anti-inflammatory and therapeutic properties are recognised by allopathic medicine as a natural analgesic (pain reliever), which can help to relieve many painful conditions.
How do amber healing beads work?
Amber is associated with sunlight and warmth and reputed to boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, accelerate the healing of wounds, reduce inflammation of the throat, ear and stomach, and to help withg infections and respiratory disease. Amber is unique and has amazing results which are all natural. Baltic Amber is a traditional European baby teething remedy which has become popular all over the world.
Care
To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth.
Safety
As a safety feature, there is a knot before and after each bead, so that even in the extremely unlikely event of the string being torn, no beads are lost and there is no risk of choking. Amber necklaces are secured with a traditional screw clasp, not a hook and ring nor a magnetic clasp. But…..Safety Disclaimer ~ please do not leave children unattended with their necklace or bracelet as it may present a choking hazard.
Fact versus Myth
Colour of Amber and effectiveness:
Genuine Baltic Amber contains 3-8% succinic acid (and only Baltic Amber). There are many sites that claim one is better then the other. We have not been able to find any true studies to prove that one colour has 3% and another has 8%. Many people think that the lighter the colour the better, but many others say darker is better. Without ‘proof’ that one has more succinic acid then the other, the only way we can make judgements is by our client testimonials. Lucky for you (and us), ALL of our amber has had rave reviews for helping with pain!! So, please, buy the design that you love the most. If you still aren’t sure, we have many different designs that have several different colours so you get the best of both worlds!!
Raw vs Polished and effectiveness:
All of Healing Amber’s amber is ‘raw’ amber. It is in it’s original state and has not been heated, treated or altered. We carry 2 different styles, polished and unpolished (which we call raw). All of the amber starts out as a matte/raw finish and to get polished beads, they are tumbled in a container with teeny glass beads that give it a shine, kind of like using sandpaper. Most raw/matte finished amber will become polished over time with wear. They all have the exact same effectiveness as they are all genuine Baltic amber in it’s natural form!
Real vs Fake Amber:
There are lots of claims that there is a lot of fake amber out there and there is!! Most of the fakes are the large pieces with inclusions (bugs etc) inside. These sell for top dollar!! The amber products that we sell, are small pieces of amber that you wouldn’t find in an expensive jewelry store, collectors site or museum. Our products are made from the smallest of amber pieces. Think of diamonds, the smaller the piece, the value goes way down so there isn’t any real reason to create fakes for them. If you would still like to test your amber, use ¼ cup of salt and 2 cups of warm water ~ mix well. Place your amber in and it will float. I learned this the hard way….. rinse all of your amber after you take it out of the salt water, lol!! OH, and the best way to know if your amber is real or fake, buy your trusted brand…. Healing Amber! Look for our Healing Amber product card that comes with your product, and you will know that you have high quality, genuine baltic amber and piece of mind.
Can I wear it in the shower/bath/pool?
Absolutely! The water will help the amber warm which increases absorbancy, increasing the effectiveness.
How long does Baltic Amber last?
Your amber will last many lifetimes. The silk string or elastic will wear out before the beads ever do. If and when this happens, feel free to restring it or make it into something else fun and beautiful.
Wearing vs. Chewing:
Baltic Amber is effective when wearing it, not ingesting. Please do not ever place in you or your child’s mouth. You cannot overdose on it, but it is a choking hazard when in your mouth.
Do I lay my amber in the sun to recharge it?
Nope! what the sun does is warm it, which softens it, which increases effectiveness for the time being, the same way that baths and showers do! Amber does not need any special treatment. It is what it is and works when against your skin.

Sizing:
All amber pieces are hand made by our team of artisans in Lithuania. All sizes are approximate and have up to a 1 inch variance with necklaces and 1/2 inch variance with bracelets. All amber pieces will stretch over time with wear.
What size to order?
Take a string and put it around your neck, wrist or ankle loosely and where you would like to wear it. Mark the string, place it next to a ruler or tape measure and voila ~ that is your size! Find the size that is closest to what you would like on your local retailer’s website or walk on in, let them know your size and place your order.
Remember that the string of your amber necklace will stretch over time. Do not pull on the necklace as it may release the safety feature and your jewelry clasp will not work then.
Bead Shapes:
Amber is a natural resin and comes in many shapes and sizes. The names of the shapes for beads are self explanatory….. triangles, chunky, circles, mini-circles and ovals. They all have smooth rounded edges and have many variations within their own category – no two beads are alike (colour, shape and size)!
Colours:
Amber comes in many different colours and shades and their names help explain how light or dark they are from gold to molasses! There are many variations within each colour and don’t forget to look for specks of uniqueness throughout!
What is Raw Amber?
ALL of the Baltic Amber from Healing Amver is raw amber, it is in it’s natural state. When you see amber described as ‘raw’, it means that it has a matte finish. The rest of the amber has been polished to shine! If you purchase a raw piece, it will end up looking polished over time.
All sizes are approximate and have up to a 1 inch variance with necklaces and 1/2 inch variance with bracelets. The amber pieces will stretch over time with wear.
