Baltic Amber babies/toddlers teething necklaces are from the natural Baltic amber, high quality, handmade by Lithuanian's artists. They are knotted after every individual amber bead and the necklace fastens with a screw clasp, so that even in the extremely unlikely event of the string being torn, not a single bead is lost and there is no risk of choking. Amber is associated with sunlight and warmth and reputed to boost the immune system, reduce inflammation and accelerate the healing of wounds and is thus the perfect help for babies and toddlers who wear it when they are teething.
When a baby is teething and the amber teething necklace is worn on the skin, the skin's warmth releases healing oils from the amber (a resin) which are absorbed via the skin into the bloodstream. Amber is not a stone and therefore warm to the touch, as well as very comfortable and light to wear. Amber is known to reduce inflammation of the throat, ear and stomach and to fight inflammation, infections and respiratory disease.
The amber necklace supports physical healing and detoxification, and is used for disorders of the adrenals, liver and spleen and aids healing of wounds therefore rcommended for ecxema suffers.
Unlike teething gels, powders or pain relief syrups, the traditional beaded amber teething necklaces are a less intrusive remedy for the pain and side effects of teething, such as lack of appetite, upset tummies, ear ache, fevers and colds. A natural analgesic, amber will help calm a baby without resorting to drugs. Amber's anti-inflammatory and therapeutic ability has the healing properties of amber which include calmative, analgesic, antispasmodic, expectorant, and febrifuge (anti-fever) functions.
The Baby Amber necklace beads are light and slightly smaller than a pea. The bead is therefore too small for a baby/child to choke on.
If a baby/child should swallow a bead from the Baby Amber teething necklace, it won't be harmful since it is not poisonous. It used to be ground up and swallowed in medicinal mixtures.
Sizes colours and shape of stones and the length of the necklace may vary from necklace to necklace. These are natural stone, not heated, stabilized or bleached.
