Unlocking the Health Benefits of Amber Powder
Baltic Amber Powder properties and uses
Baltic Amber is a semi-precious stone known for its healing and body energizing properties. The powder is made from resin of trees that grew more than 45 million years ago. These properties were first described by Hippocrates in 460-377 BC. This golden-hued powder has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-oxidant properties and can help with a range of health concerns such as chronic skin conditions, respiratory issues, and digestive problems. It has been used for centuries to improve skin health and treat infections.
One of the reasons why Amber powder has become so popular is because of its unique ability to warm skin without causing irritation. Because of this, it is often used as a base coat on skin before applying natural skincare products.
In particular, Baltic Amber is known to help regulate skin’s temperature, which can help with various skin ailments, such as skin blemishes, eczema, and psoriasis. Additionally, it has been known to stimulate the immune system and aid in the recovery from various injuries and illnesses. However, it is important to note that Amber should not be consumed or used carelessly. It is always recommended to seek advice from a professional before use.
Amber Oil
Amber oil can be made with a few simple ingredients. To make Amber oil, you need Amber powder, carrier oil of your choice (like coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, etc.), and essential oils (such as lavender or chamomile). Making Amber oil is an easy process that can be done at home. You will need natural Baltic Amber Powder which acts as the base for making Amber Oil.
This is an old European recipe for making Amber Oil. Traditionally it has also been added to Rose Oil or Honey.
Measure out 100 mL of your oil of choice and 50 g of Amber powder to create the mixture you require.
Place the ingredients in a brown glass jar and mix them together by tilting the jar with the lid on.
Ensure that the jar is shaken at least once a day for 3 to 6 weeks.
Keep it at room temperature and out of the sun. It should be kept in a dark corner of a cabinet for optimal storage.
Once you are ready, remove the oil, which contains Amber’s active ingredients, from the powder residue, either by skimming the oil off the top or by using a coffee filter.
The oil has a shelf life of up to 10 months.
The leftover powder residue can be utilized as massage cream.
To determine the effects of the oil on you, begin with a small amount and increase it as needed based on your experience.
Aromatherapy
When heated by a tea-light candle below, it slowly releases its natural oils into the atmosphere, keeping the mosquitoes away and the air around you healthy while all the time giving you the medical benefits of Baltic Amber’s succinic acid. This vapour method is used most often with electric and battery operated diffusers, as heat is not required to release the succinic acid. Use the Amber sparingly and test your tolerance level as well as how much you need to be effective.
