An amber teething necklace is a necklace made of amber beads that is worn by infants and young children to alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with teething. Amber is a fossilized tree resin that is said to have natural pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. When worn against the skin, the warmth of the skin is said to release small amounts of succinic acid, an anti-inflammatory, which is absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream, helping to relieve teething pain.
The necklace is made of small beads of amber that are knotted on a string, usually made of nylon or silk. They are designed to be worn by babies and young children and are not to be chewed on. Parents should be aware that there is a risk of choking hazard and strangulation if the necklace breaks, so it is important to supervise the child when the necklace is worn. It is recommended to consult with pediatrician before using it.
Amber technically speaking is not a stone, but a fossilized resin from the now extinct coniferous tree, Pina Succinifera, which existed in the Eocene Epoch of the Tertiary period, about 50 million years ago. It comes mainly from the Baltic, although there are a number of other deposits throughout the world. Amber was the first precious stone noted in human history and has a Mohs rating of 2-2.5 on the hardness scale. Amber is thought metaphysically to create a feeling of ease, being carefree, and enhance memory of past lives.
