The amber teething necklace has become a popular choice for pain relief for teething babies. Traditional wisdom implies that Baltic Amber contains medicinal properties, due to its high content of succinic acid, among other compounds. Parents note infants' lessened symptoms while wearing amber teething necklaces. Adults can also benefit from the natural healing properties found in amber, using amber teething necklaces for relief of minor pain.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Research the pain-relieving properties of Baltic amber teething necklaces. Amber is not a stone, but ancient fossilized sap from trees near the Baltic Sea. Contact with warm skin warms the amber, which causes it to release minuscule amounts of oil containing healing properties.

  2. Step 2

    Find and buy an amber teething necklace. Look online and in high-end baby boutiques. Buy amber stones and make an amber teething necklace if you are talented in jewelry-craft.

  3. Step 3

    Rinse and dry the amber teething necklace before each use, using warm water to warm the stones.

  4. Step 4

    Place the amber teething necklace against the baby's skin, under a T-shirt or other clothing so that the baby cannot pull on the amber teething necklace.

  5. Step 5

    Watch the child while using the amber teething necklace to ensure safety. If the necklace breaks, collect all pieces of amber and jewelry parts for professional repair.

  6. Step 6

    Wear an amber teething necklace as an adult for relief of minor aches and pains. Use the amber teething necklace close to the source of pain, such as on the wrist for hand and arm pain.
