All amber necklaces are made of Baltic Amber which is a fossilized resin from the sap of conifer trees. These trees are known to be here on this planet for almost 44 million years.
How Succinic Acid Works
Amber necklace should always touch the body of the child so it could warm up and release the succinic acid that will absorb through the skin and into the bloodstream. It then reduces the pain and itch in a baby’s gum.
These necklaces are meant to be worn and don’t need to licked or chewed by baby to work. You can also provide your baby with teething toys and other stuff to help them chew and release the itchiness.

Nature has always intended us to use amber in raw form. Raw Amber Necklace contains the highest ratio of succinic acid which can be up to 8%. Succinic acid is a natural ingredient that helps reduce inflammation in the body, especially teeth.

The genuine amber necklace will release the oils and you will feel the faint smell of pine.

Also make sure that it is in a raw form so that the oils in it can easily be released with the heat of the baby’s body and help soothe your child’s gums. The original color of the Amber Necklace is golden and the beads of white, milky yellow, lemon yellow, green or butter colored are most likely cooked to change their color, which makes it less effective.
