People have known about the healing properties of amber for thousands of years!  It’s always been seen as a preservative, especially when we think of fossils.  And, people have worn the jewelry for a long time as well.  Science has just now discovered why people have been so attracted to it over the centuries. It is due to succinic acid, which is an anti-inflammatory and has mild sedative effects, which bring on a calm and peaceful state.  The whole idea is, rather than rely on an OTC medicine such as Children’s Tylenol, why not allow the exposure to amber and it’s inherent pathogens do it’s work in boosting the immunity and reducing inflammation!
