Amber teething necklaces

We use amber teething necklaces to help Lillian cut teeth. She's been teething since 2.5mths old and cut her first 2 teeth on her 4mth birthday. Don't get me wrong, we have had to use Tylenol in some cases too as she's been cutting teeth 4-6 at a time. But, most days, the amber does the job and here's why:

"When baltic amber is worn on the skin, the amber releases trace amounts of healing oils. These oils contain succinic acid and are absorbed into the skin. Succinic Acid is a natural component of plant and animal tissues, and it's presence in the human body is beneficial in many ways. 

* Pain Relief - Baltic amber contains analgesic properties and helps take the edge off of many types of discomfort associated with dental issues, headaches, joint pain, etc.

* Strengthens the body's immune system -
In many different and subtle ways, succinic acid helps boost the body's own natural healing ability and immune system.

* Restoring 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.

*Maintaining 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. Whenever the body functions in a state of low oxygen, it is much more susceptible to illness.

*To help break a 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."

We bought Lillian an amber necklace from InspiredByFinn when she was 4mths old and she wears it 24 hours a day unless bathing. As I'm the one home with her all day I see a remarkable difference in her behavior and attitude when wearing it. Since shes worn it so long she knows it's hers, will hold it for us after bath time & sits pretty still when putting it back on. She likes it & we LOVE it. We've only had to use Tylenol a few times at night, otherwise during the day amber to the rescue :) I've not only seen a difference in Lily but so have a lot of my mama friends.

Well, enough for today, Lillian will be up soon & this mama wants coffee.
