Amber folklore

The Healing and Mitigating Effect of Amber Jewelry. Jewelry worn on the naked body, such as necklaces, bracelets or rings formed from amber nuggets have the strongest chemical effect.

Amber necklaces closely sticking to the body around the neck have a beneficial effect on thyroid illnesses.

Thanks to the greater amber acid content in the rough natural crust, elements made of rough amber or with the remains of bark in its fragments have a stronger effect.

This does not, however, mean a lack of a beneficial effect of amber carefully cut and polished to its maximum sheen. In this state it even has a certain advantage, as it is pleasant to the touch and more easily transmits the effect of negative electric ionization.

Some people believe that amber has the power to absorb negative energy. Amber is also said to provide protection for the person of sensitive temperament, grounding them to the earth plane.

Many people hold that amber provides purification for the body allowing release of toxic fluids It is further said to that amber has the power to aid the digestive tract.
 The most famous physician of the middle Ages, known by the Latin name of Avicenna, was convinced of the uncommon effectiveness of Baltic amber. He wrote that the wearing of an amber necklace can eliminate goitres, a swelling of the neck due to the enlargement of a thyroid gland, which is a symptom of an advanced stage of illness.
This conviction has been recently confirmed /(unfortunately/) by Albert Bogdasarov, a Byelorussian mineralogist who recommends the wearing of amber necklaces, especially by children, in areas of intense radiation caused by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster.
