Thanks for Sharing! Eastern Medicine ascribes a seemingly endless list of magical powers to Baltic amber, sometimes even when not in direct skin contact.
We certainly wouldn't want to be without antibiotics or surgery for when we really need it, but whenever possible we initially opt for the lighter touch of Eastern medicine. Photo Credit: mermaidmermaidd. The true value of Baltic amber , we suspect, lies somewhere in the middle. We don't personally hold to the 'this fixes everything' view of Baltic amber, we have seen it be significantly effective in some very specific ways. What makes Baltic amber special is that this concentration of succinic acid is much higher than in amber found in other parts of the world.
Succinic acid already naturally exists in the body in small amounts. It's an alkalinizing acid like lemon juice so it doesn't add to your body's acidity and may actually slightly lower it.
Stimulating the thyroid could result in increased body temperature which is, ironically, often one of the symptoms of teething that people are trying to treat. Perhaps the MOST logical explanation and most often referenced for why amber teething necklaces might work for teething pain is that amber contains percent succinic acid. Succinic acid is a chemical that is found naturally in the body and is involved in an energy producing chemical cycle known as the Krebs cycle.
The basis of the reasoning behind why succinic acid treats teething symptoms is that it is reported to have anti-inflammatory properties. I can only find one study that even shows succinic acid to have anti-inflammatory effects. It is almost 30 years old and was published in a journal I have never heard of, in Russian. Amber is fossilized tree resin which is formed under extreme heat and pressure. For resin to survive long enough to become amber, it must be resistent to such forces or be produced under conditions that exlude these.
Seems unlikely. How much is absorbed? Medication applied to skin is notoriously unreliable with children. Say an established drug company comes up with a treatment for a common condition that is not dangerous but may cause some discomfort. The drug rep comes to my office to promote the drug…. Me: Ok, this all sounds great? So, what is the dose? Every person has the right to control over their body. Gods are not necessary to be a good person or to live a full and meaningful life.
Be mindful of the consequences of all your actions and recognize that you must take responsibility for them. Treat others as you would want them to treat you, and can reasonably expect them to want to be treated. Think about their perspective. We have the responsibility to consider others, including future generations.
