Inspired By Finn Review & Giveaway

Baltic amber is not a stone, but a fossilized tree resin

Historically, Baltic Amber has been used in Europe as a natural and traditional remedy and curative for many ailments for centuries. Long ago it was considered one of the leading ‘medicines’ of its time. Baltic Amber is the most esteemed amber in the world, and the healing qualities of Baltic Amber make it unlike any other type of amber found in the world.

When baltic amber is worn on the skin, the skin’s warmth releases trace amounts of healing oils from the amber. These oils contain succinic acid and are absorbed into the skin. 

Baltic Amber has some of the highest concentrations of Succinic Acid found in nature, and this is what makes it so special. Succinic Acid is a natural component of plant and animal tissues, and it's presence in the human body is beneficial in many ways.

How can baltic amber help us?

• Pain Relief -

Baltic amber contains analgesic properties and helps take the edge off of many types of discomfort associated with dental issues, headaches, joint pain, etc.

• Strengthens the body's immune system -

In many different and subtle ways, succinic acid helps boost the body's own natural healing ability and immune system.

• Restoring Energy –

The human body naturally produces succinic acid. The salt of succinic acid (succinate) is one of the most active substances in the processes of cellular respiration and intercellular energy creation. Succinic acid restores oxygen and energy supply to depleted cells and helps the body return to a normal, functioning state.Succinate is a raw material and a catalyst in the Krebs Cycle which is one of our main sources of energy. During the Krebs Cycle carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are metabolized for energy.

• Maintaining Wellness -

When the human body reacts to stress, the body’s cells begin to use oxygen more quickly. Oxygen plays a central role in the intercellular creation of energy, and a lack of oxygen can result in feeling lethargic. Oxygen is alkaline-forming in the blood and maintaining a slightly alkaline blood ph helps keep us healthy. Whenever the body functions in a state of low oxygen, it is much more susceptible to illness.

• To help break a cycle of (chronic) inflammation -

Where chronic inflammation is present, disease lurks.When the body’s cells are chronically inflamed the human body’s immune system response is to increase production of free radicals. Chronic overproduction of free radicals results in inflammatory-related disease. Chronic inflammation is a common denominator of many seemingly unrelated diseases.

While wearing a piece or two of baltic amber jewelry may not cure all that may ail you, it has been a proven benefit to many!

My Take-I really wish I had known about these sooner. I had no idea until I started to find more homeopathic remedies for teething. All Gracie has left are two canines (yes, she is only one and has a mouth full) and I just couldn’t bring myself to give her pain relievers 24/7 to help her get through but standing around watching her suffer isn’t much better of an option. Teething rings no longer help because they don’t fit in those last two spaces with all the other teeth in the way. A cold wash cloth fits but it stays cool for only so long. 

All I know is that the necklace really seems to do the trick!  It is amazing!  It has helped Gracie so much with her teething! yes, I need all those exclamation points because for anyone that has a baby you are going to want to try one.

I have mentioned before, I have an auto-immune disease of who knows what (still testing) and anti-inflammatory issues up the ying yang. TMI?  Oh well, it's my blog :) After reading more about Inspired By Finn’s baltic Amber Jewelry, I am now definitely placing an order for myself! I chose the cognac round necklace for Gracie and I just ordered the same for me but along with a necklace I chose a bracelet as well in hopes it will help some of my joint pain (Seems it’s the only thing I’m too young to be having :O) If the cognac doesn't work as well on me, I will be getting one of the lighter colors because they hold the most succinic acid.    

I made one mistake-when I place the first order for Gracie, we measured the necklace a bit too big but only because we were afraid it would be too tight but then when it came, she was able to put it into her mouth. 

See how it hangs down a bit on her? Not much but enough that it had to be put away for when she was a little older. I ordered the next and this time it was a perfect fit. So with that said, be sure to follow directions and trust their expertise. Unsure of how to measure?  Click HERE or ask for help. They have a great customer service team. 

Whether you are interested in trying Baltic Amber to experience it's pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties, or if you just think it will be fun to have jewelry that matches your little one (I do) I recommend at least trying one  more out.
