All amber is fossilized tree resin. Baltic amber in particular (which is mined near the Baltic Sea) additionally contains a substance called succinic acid. Historically it is believe that when worn on the skin, body heat causes Baltic amber to release an oil containing succinic acid, which if absorbed into the skin, might act like a natural Ibuprofen, blocking pain and reducing inflammation. We do not however recommend using Baltic amber as your sole source of pain relief. Maybe keep a bottle of aspirin around too.

According to metaphysics: Amber is a powerful healer and cleanser of the body, mind and spirit. It also cleanses the environment. Amber draws disease from the body, healing and renewing the nervous system and balancing the right and left parts of the brain. It absorbs pain and negative energy, helping to alleviate stress.
