Baltic Amber Benefits.

DOES AMBER HAVE HEALTH BENEFITS?

Various health and healing properties were attributed to Baltic Amber since ancient times. It wasn't fully understood why this tree resin has healing properties, but it was a common folk medicine used to treat various health conditions. Well-known Greek scientist Hippocrates wrote about Amber and its healing properties in his works as well. His described methods of Amber application were used by scientists for various treatments until Middle Ages and even later.

In current days Amber benefits to human body are explained by a few different theories. One of the theories attributes this gemstones benefits to Succinic Acid element found inside Baltic Amber. Based on research this ancient treasure might have between 3-8 % of this acid. Succinate or Succinic Acid is responsible for a few different functions in our body. Taking this Acid in a form of supplement is known to be useful for joint pain, arthritis or other type of pain. It is also used to minimize negative symptoms of menopause (irritability or hot flashes). The fact that some forms of Amber (Baltic Amber in particular) has up to 8% of Succinate is very high. In nature there is no other element that would have such a high level of this acid naturally. Since Succinic Acid takes a large part in Amber, most of its benefits are being assigned to Baltic Amber as well. The main issue with this theory is that it is not fully known whether this acid can be emitted into human body. Wearing Amber piece or jewelry around the skin can certainly make it warm, but whether it is sufficient for emission of Succinic Acid is unknown.

The other theory attributes Amber health benefits to its electric energy. Many years ago, it was noticed that Amber is emitting negative ions once it is rubbed. Wearing Amber close to skin and clothes creates similar conditions to rubbing so it is highly likely that it emits electric energy to human body. In science this particular effect is called Triboelectric charging or Triboelectric effect. The strength and polarity of generated charge can vary based on materials in contact, temperature, surface and other features. In case of Amber, Triboelectric charge is being generated through its contact and separation with materials like cloth, wool and etc. Since human body is partly electric it is possible that negative ions produced by Amber can have an effect on our body. Research and scientific studies on negative ions suggest that they can have a lot of health benefits to human body. These benefits include enhanced healing process, stimulation of immunity, ease of pain and many others.

The third theory explaining benefits of Amber attributes them to placebo effect. This effect is described as phenomenon when ineffective treatment works or provides positive results. However it only works on a patient, because she / he has high expectations that it will work. Placebo effect is more likely to occur when a person has beliefs regarding its success. So if you truly believe that Amber Jewelry can be beneficial for you and your health, there is a high chance that it actually will be.

METAPHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL BENEFITS.
