A girl at work told me about baltic amber necklaces that are suppose to naturally help sooth teething. Her SIL swears by it... I was researching it online and I was wondering if anyone else has tried it and opinions?

Natural amber necklace facts:

· A natural analgesic, amber will help calm a baby without resorting to drugs.

· Amber is a fossilized resin, not a stone.

· Wearing Baltic amber necklaces on the skin can have a soothing and calming effect on teething babies and toddlers.

· When amber is worn on the skin, the skin's warmth releases miniscule amounts of healing oils and Succinic acid from the amber which are then absorbed via the skin into the bloodstream.

· Amber’s anti-inflammatory and therapeutic properties are also recognized by allopathic medicine. They are a traditional European teething rememedy and in Austria, Switzerland and Germany, you will find amber teething necklaces sold in local pharmacies.
