Amber Experiment

Baltic amber is becoming more and more common in natural healing practices. It is for adults and children alike giving their body more immunities with the succinic acid that is absorbed by wearing the beads.

But how do you know you are getting the real thing and not a fake?
There are many tests you can perform to make sure what you have is the real thing. One method is salt water test.

The Salt Water Test
Aside from looking at your amber, the next least damaging test you can perform is to mix up some salt water (dissolve one part salt in two parts water) and throw the necklace in.  Real Baltic amber floats, fakes don’t.

This evening I did just that! Dissolved 1/2 cup of salt in 1 cup of water.
I took off my 2nd youngest's amber necklace to test.
To be honest, I was REALLY unsure of what the result would be.
So I dropped it in the water...
& TA-DA! It went in and stayed on top!

Amber & Hazelwood Necklace Review & Special

Guest post by Melissa:

Amber Necklaces are a great way to provide your baby/child with natural pain relief from teething, growing pains and much more. Healing amber is great for adults too. Do you suffer from arthritis? headaches? muscle or joint pain? Then amber is a great natural way to treat these ailments. The necklaces Tiny TreeHugger sells are made of 100% Baltic Amber, which is fossilized tree resin. Amber has natural analgesic, anti-inflammatory and therapeutic properties. The active ingredient in amber is succinic acid which is released into the bloodstream of the wearer via the skin when the amber is heated by the warmth of the skin or the sun. Succinic acid has pain relieving properties and is therefore great for any of the listed aliments and much more.

I suffer from chronic headaches and only take medication when absolutely necessary, I thought I would try out wearing amber as my daughter has an amber necklace for her growth pains that has worked beautifully for her, you know what ever since I started wearing my amber necklace my headaches are gone, seriously gone. So this sweet necklace of mine hasn’t come off since I
purchased it. I highly recommend healing amber and think you should try it out for yourself big or small we can all benefit from some natural healing.

Tiny TreeHugger has graciously offered 10% off your purchase of any of her amber products. Go get one while they last. It’s so worth it. See below for the coupon code and how you can win one!

Thanks for sharing your experience with the amber necklaces Melissa!
Our baby is now 7 months old and has had chronic teething since he was three months old. Just in the last week I had noticed the two bottom teeth trying to finally pop through, in the phase of acute teething. He has been wearing an amber necklace for many months now, but just this past week I put it around his ankle and now have a hazelwood necklace around his neck. The hazelwood is helpful with teething symptoms and works in tandem with the amber, but can also be used on it's own. Amber is known to work immediately where as hazelwood may take a few weeks to notice a difference. I am hoping we notice a difference with babyK and his teething is not so hard on him [and me!].

How hazelwood works:
The hazel tree is an alkaline wood when placed in contact with skin whose level of acidity is too high, will darken. The oxidizing process works to neutralize the acidity surplus and also will largely contribute to balance the organism. When the wood darkens, the hazelwood needs to be replaced. As with the amber, the hazelwood is not just for babies! There are great benefits for adults as well.

Buy it! 
Hazelwood necklaces are $18.99 [baby sizes only- if interested in adult sizes please use the contact form for pre-order], amber necklaces are $17.99 for children and $29.99 for adult. Bracelets also available.
