I'm a believer! [healing amber review]

After Christmas, I came down with a n-a-s-t-y cold/flu and from that stemmed an infection with my growing-in wisdom tooth - apparently things like that can happen when your resistance is lowered [who knew?]. At first I tried wearing my new amber bracelet that I got as a gift, but it wasn't long before I took it off in defeat and resorted to Advil...after Advil...after Advil [until finally going to the dentist and getting antibiotics to fight the infection]. And I was just hoping that Pam wouldn't ask me to write up a review on this popular item in her shop. Ha ha, great review huh? Don't worry...keeping reading!

Well, last week the pain from that barely-poking-through wisdom tooth started up again and I figured I'd give the healing amber another shot. After all, the pain wasn't nearly to the extent as it was the first time when even my beloved Advil could barely touch it. Maybe this would be helpful this second time around when the pain was at a more "normal" and tolerable level.

Pam strongly suggested that I keep the bracelet on ALL THE TIME for full effect, so I've done just that this week. It went on my wrist Monday morning and hasn't come off since, not for a single second.

And guess what?

It's working! Now, a lot of you who already have these bracelets/necklaces probably aren't surprised to read that. But those of you who maybe haven't tried these before might be a bit more on the skeptical side. Let me assure you - I was one of those people until this week. I mean, they're beautiful accessories, but aside from that I didn't think that they could really be that beneficial.

But I was wrong.

Towards the end of Monday [the first day wearing it], I was really wanting to take some Advil but I was determined to stick it out and allow time for the amber to "do it's thing." And it didn't take long. Three days in and I haven't had a desire to take any form of medication since that first day. Oh, the pain in the tooth isn't 100% gone - it may take the removal of said tooth for that to become a reality - but now it's nothing more than a faint [and somewhat annoying] reminder that I have a tooth coming in.

So yes...I am a believer in healing amber! Are you?

Healing amber bracelets and necklaces are available in adult and baby sizes and can help with teething pain, headaches and other things like growing pains in young children.
