If you've been following this blog for a while, you've probably noticed that the wubba wears a Baltic Amber bracelet to alleviate teething discomfort. Baltic Amber has been known to have healing properties and I was certainly willing to give it a try before reaching for over the counter medications or teething gels. It seems to provide my little guy with relief, so I started to research whether or not Baltic Amber would also alleviate my mother's arthritic hand and wrist pain. There are countless online testimonials about Baltic Amber relieving arthritic pain, so when Spark of Amber approached me for a product review, I gladly accepted a bracelet (free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion) for my mom.
If you aren't familiar with Baltic Amber, here is a brief explanation from Spark of Amber's website:
Baltic Amber is a fossilized resin found in the Baltic Region, primarily in Lithuania. It contains 3-8% of Succinic Acid, long prized for its medicinal qualities. Amazingly, the highest content of the healing Succinic Acid is found in the EXTERNAL layer of the Baltic Amber.
Europeans greatly prize beautiful Baltic Amber for its claimed 100% natural anti-inflammatory, pain relieving, and calming properties for babies and toddlers. The healing oils (Succinic Acid) of the Baltic Amber are said to relieve teething pain, tame baby’s irritability, and relieve inflammation in the throat, ear, and stomach. Authentic Baltic Amber is also used as an anti-toxic and anti-bacterial agent, for headaches, for skin irritations, for bronchial conditions, and for throat and thyroid conditions (along with many other uses).
Baltic Amber is very light-weight, making Baltic Amber jewelry extremely comfortable to wear for both children and adults.
Each Spark of Amber item is hand crafted and one of a kind. Due to the natural variations in size and color of Baltic Amber, each item you purchase is guaranteed to be absolutely unique. Another guarantee you can count on from Spark of Amber is that their amber is 100% authentic and comes straight from Lithuania. I've heard several stories of people purchasing "Baltic Amber" from large online retailers only to be left with cheap plastic beads. You can be certain that Spark of Amber is a reliable source for all of your Baltic Amber needs.
After wearing the bracelet for almost a month, my mom is having some relief from her arthritis pain. Before, she'd wake up during the night with severe pain in her thumb joints. Since wearing the bracelet she hasn't awoken once. She does still have pain time to time, especially with changes in the weather, but overall she reports an improvement.
She also likes the look of the bracelet and says it coordinates well with almost any outfit. Whether she's wearing super casual clothing or dressing up for a night out to dinner with my dad, she never feels the need to remove her Woodland Raw Baltic Amber Bracelet.
