AMBER AND ITS MEDICINAL PROPERTIES Already famous Hippocrates (460-377 BC), father of medicine, in his works described medicinal properties and methods of application of amber that were later used by scientists until the Middle Ages. In ancient Rome was used as medicine and as a protection against different diseases. Calistratus, famous physician of those times, wrote that amber protects from madness, powder of amber mixed with honey cures throat, ear and eye diseases and taken with water cures stomach illnesses. Roman peasant women wore amber medallions not only as adornments, but also as a remedy for "swollen glands and sore throat and palate." Arab scientist Ibn Sina (Avicenna) called amber remedy for many diseases. There was a belief in eastern countries that amber smoke strengthens human spirit and gives courage. In China "amber syrup", a mixture of succinct acid and opium, was used as a tranquilizer and antispasmodic. Prussians and Samogitians also used amber in the manufacture of incenses. In former times Lithuanian tribes employed such incense to drive away evil spirits from the dead and help the soul travel to good spirits. The newly born babies were fumigated so that they could grow faster, the newly-weds - that they could live happily and those going to war so that they could return with spoils of victory. Before World War I amber was still used for treatment of various diseases, e.g. tincture made of pieces of amber and vodka was thought to increase sexual potency of men. In Lithuania and in tsarist Russia nannies had to wear amber beads to protect themselves and babies from diseases. As late as before World War II, especially in Germany, amber beads were put on babies to make the eruption of teeth less painful and make the teeth grow stronger. Amber beads collect an electrostatic charge when touched and the oxidized surface contains the highest amount of succinic acid. It is a biostimulant that has a positive effect on the nervous system, the heart, and the kidneys and stimulates recovery processes.Amber is an energy screen which works as a “wall” against which thought particles charged with the negative emotions of a person who casts a spell are deflected. Amber is one of the most valuable gifts of nature and cannot be substituted for. It can neutralize negative energy, which by “sticking” to a person causes disharmony in the functioning of our internal organs, whereby it can be the cause of illnesses. Amber, in turn, by passing its energy on to us activates biochemical processes in our cells that heal us. Therefore, today, when we have only ourselves to blame for the increasingly bad state of our bodies and minds, let us not forget about amber, which can help us and thus help everyone around us. For the human being amber is more valuable than the proverbial gold, because it is the symbol of the constantly renewing energy of life! For more information, please
