How it works
Children wearing amber is a very old custom in Europe and the Far East. Also, in the San Cristobal region of Mexico, Amber is a traditional gift given to a new baby for good luck and protection.
Amber Teething Necklaces are believed to have natural pain relieving properties, and are used to help soothe and calm a baby through the difficult teething stage. There are various theories about how the amber actually works; One is that the warmth of the skin releases tiny amounts of healing oils from the amber, these are absorbed through the babies skin into the body. The healing effects of the oils are said to be calming, analgesic and antipyretic (temperature reducing) amongst others. A second theory is that Amber is electronegative, and wearing it against the skin produces negative ionisation, which leads to a positive effect on the body.
