Baltic Amber

We are entering a decade of more health and environmental concerns that we must protect ourselves and our love ones from. We are constantly surrounded by toxins and new chemicals that our cells must be on guard to defend our systems against. In my search for effective time honored remedies I came across Baltic Amber.

Being in the health and wellness industry for over 22 years, I have learned about and experimented with many natural remedies over the years. I stumbled across Baltic Amber healing several years ago looking into Crystal Gemstone Therapy. Among its amazing metaphysical properties that have been used throughout the ages Baltic Amber is one of the most powerful healing medicinals of all time. The healing amber, Baltic Amber that is referred to in this article is from the European regions of Poland, Lithuania and Russia.

Amber is one of those healers not known much by the Western world but is now ready share its ancient secrets with us. It is much needed for reconnecting us back to our ancient healing potential on a blue print it is time for amber to have it's place in the Sun.

Before going into all the many wonderful things Baltic Amber does in healing, I would like to take you back to it's beginnings and how this resin gained it's reputation of a powerful force of life and healing.

Baltic Amber began it's life over 45 million years ago when the great giant pines would shed their resin as an antiseptic and viral protection to any damage that was occurring to the trees. The fossil resin produced by pine trees in Northern European Southern Regions of the present day Scandinavia and nearby regions of the bed of the Baltic Sea. As the climate became warmer the trees started to exude large amounts of resin on to the forest floors that eventually stretched to the sea. The resin took along with it animal insect and plant life that is forever suspended in this golden liquid.

Amber is soft and warms to the touch. It floats in salt water but sinks in fresh water. Unlike anything before and after it's creation, Baltic Amber has a living incomplete structure alive and constantly changing.

Amber has been harvested, crafted and traded for over 13,000 years. Villagers were require to gather it from the waters. It was one of the first exports from the Baltic region. It was traded for spices, salt, and metals. Prehistoric trade routes were defined by this Amber trade, and the inland corridor from coastal areas of the North and Baltic Seas down to the Mediterranean Sea became known as the Amber Road. For millennia, this important raw material, called “Gold of the North,” was transported overland by way of the Vistula and Dnieper rivers to Italy, Greece, the Black Sea, Syria, Egypt, and beyond. Til this day it's found washed up along shores in this region though most of the world's resources is believed to be deep within the ground like other gems and minerals.

Amber is known by many names in many different cultures. The Greeks called it elektron, a word referring to the sun because of its ability to draw small particles to itself when rubbed. Baltic Amber is also a resin of many colors ranging from nearly white, through all shades of yellow and orange, to dark, almost cherry-like red. Seen as an object of admiration and interest for centuries it's beauty, pleasing smell, and ease of processing have always earned it a place among decorative stones.

In Lithuania, Amber is translated as gintaras. The origin verb is "ginti" which mean to protect or defend. Even more interesting, the natural magnetism of amber, which manifests itself if you hold a piece of Amber against fabric and then put it in proximity to other materials where it quickly attracts small pieces of them, correlates to natural electricity which comes from the Greeks and also, ironically, means amber.

Unlike other gemstones, Amber warms to the human touch because it is fossilized resin and its unique properties are in complete alignment with the composition of the human body. It is also a fact that natural Amber works with the body's own immune system to distribute its power where it is needed in the body.

Insects, spiders and their webs, annelids, crustaceans, bacteria and amoebae, marine micro-fossils, wood, flowers and fruit, hair, feathers and other small organisms have been recovered in Ambers dating back 130 million years. Amber has helped paleontologists to reconstruct life on earth in its earlier history. Over 1,000 extinct species of insects have been identified this way.

Baltic Amber is unique compared to other ambers. This particular amber carries a high content of succinic acid known to be a undisputed healer in our human history. There is a reason to believe that Succinic Acid has been around since time began. Scientists have proven that 50 million years ago Succinic Acid was evident in the metabolism of living organisms. This acid is also produced by the human body to support our well being. Oldest and most highest source for Succinic Acid is natural Baltic Amber. There is magical power succinite. It is inherently positive and worth getting familiar with.

According to history of Baltic Amber, the sun is believed to be a contributing factor to the power behind the stone. It is related to the sign Leo which is also associated with the sun and it's power. Its mysterious, not yet fully recognized unusual properties have always aroused curiosity and exerted fascination on people. They evoked awe and respect, but never fear or dread as was the case with some precious stones.

Baltic Amber has a powerful energy and warmth that others feel immediately. Being around it lifts the spirits and tunes you to positive vibes. It has a strong connection to the sun and earth, as well as the once living insects, organisms and plant matter that are forever suspended within its golden structure. It helps those who use it access ancient wisdom and can be a powerful tool for past life recall or remembering lessons from the ancestors.

Amber has a highly protective nature and eradicates toxins. It also provides a protective shield against negative energies and may be called upon to remove toxicity from one’s life or relationships.

In so many ways, Baltic Amber is a health gift to the world. We are going to talk about a few ways that amber has been used throughout history to heal and how it's still used today in our modern world. Famous scientist Nicolaus Copernicus documented that his formulas for medicine included 22 specific ingredients and one of them was Amber. The key ingredient in natural Baltic Amber is Succinic Acid, one of the most powerful substances necessary to human health. While it is found very minimally in nature, Succinic Acid is the dominant factor in Baltic Amber. It is also one of the key substances found in the most expensive skin renewal and regeneration products. So all things considered, scientists are quite comfortable with the knowledge that natural Baltic Amber is very powerful and very special in its healing properties and are looking for more ways to utilize it to its full capacity.

In present day times, there are several effective medicines containing Succinic Acid that has been created and patented, especially in the USA and Russia.

The Europeans and Chinese have been in the forefront of the use of amber for health purposes for hundreds of years.

He would rubbed powder, made from pure natural Baltic Amber on the skin in the area of the patient's complaint. He found the most visible results when applied to the face.

Some think of amber as a powerful chakra cleanser and healer. This makes it excellent for rejuvenation and overall body health. Since amber energy activates 3rd chakras it aids creativity, will and inner strength. These areas chakras need to be cleansed, purified and developed before their energy can naturally integrate with the 4th chakra where the lower chakras are then able to connected to the higher chakras. I have found it to be a manifesting aid as well. Things seem to happen more effortlessly when amber is around.
