Baltic amber is a natural analgesic that releases amber acid (also called succinic acid) when warmed by the skin. It has been used in countries like Poland, Latvia, Germany and other European countries for centuries and still being used today. It is a natural way to take the edge off pain (like carpal tunnel and migraines) and help babies with their teething symptoms, and in some cases, take the pain away completely. And then I read about Baltic amber while I was looking for a natural teething remedy for my son. One blogger wrote about how it helped her carpal tunnel. I was never able to push my son's pram for more than two minutes before I felt the tingling and the pain. I stretched my fingers and shook them out very often when we were on our walks. Eating with chopsticks or cutlery was really difficult, and a few times my fingers froze that I had to pry them off the fork. I was very dependent on my splint and never left anywhere without it. I was very intrigued after reading that blog and since then had an insatiable appetite about the healing wonders of Baltic amber. I read every blog, every forum and every testimonial I could. Satisfied with it all, I purchased myself a Rainbow Baltic amber necklace. It took the edge off the pain. I was so excited! But after about two weeks, the pain started coming back more regularly. So I bought a necklace with raw beads and gave that a go. Two days later, I was able to push my son's pram for 45 minutes without feeling any pain AT ALL! And that happened late January 2013. Carpal tunnel is a thing of the past now! But that was how my Baltic amber shop came to be. I have personally experienced its healing properties, and would love to be able to share this wonderful gift from nature to everyone.
