Amber is a fossilized tree resin. As it warms with body heat, amber releases an oil containing succinic acid. Absorbed into the skin, succinic acid works like a natural Ibuprofen, blocking pain and reducing inflammation. To function well, it must be worn close to the source of pain.
Baltic amber has some of the highest concentrations of succinic acid found in nature and it has been a natural remedy for pain relief for hundreds of years. In many different and subtle ways, succinic acid helps boost the body’s own natural healing ability and immune system.
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.
