Why Parents Should Avoid Using Teething Gels on their Babies and Children

Most parents are very cautious about what they feed their children, they don't allow sweets or junk food and no precooked meals full of preservatives. Yet, these same parents freely use over the counter teething gels on their babies and teething toddlers exposing them to unnecessary risks.

Many parents overlook the fact that generally, teething gels contain a range of chemicals that although in the short term can assist with teething discomfort it is thought that the actual relief comes from massaging the gums and not the gels themselves.

Most gels contain a mixture of chemicals such as lignocaine, tannic acid, menthol, thymol and glycerol and in some cases upto 40% ethanol. Whilst all of these are relatively safe in small doses they can be harmful if used excessively**.

There is a completely natural alternative to teething gels that works much faster and contains no chemicals. Natural Baltic Amber is used for relief from inflammation, fever and pain and is commonly used in European countries to relieve teething pain in infants.

Whilst there are various types of Amber jewellery on the market, the only form of Amber that can be used for healing is Baltic Amber. It can only be found close to the Baltic Sea and is the only one that contains Succinic Acid which is the compound that relives the pain and fever of teething. Amberbebe products are produced using only traditional Baltic Amber mined in Lithuania.

www.Amberbebe.com is an Australian company owned by Mum of 5, Meredith Marshall. Having 5 boys Meredith is more than qualified to show the world the benefits of Baltic Amber jewellery for infants. Having only discovered Baltic Amber after having her third child she decided to put it to the test with her next two children and says that it was obvious they received immense relief from teething problems and pain and fevers associated with teething thanks to the Amber necklace and bracelet. Meredith then decided to import the products into Australia to allow other parents to discover the benefits of this natural product.

Natural body heat activates the healing properties of amber and it improves immunity and the balance of acids when absorbed into the bloodstream, it stimulates the thyroid glands to help reduce drooling and soothes red inflamed cheeks. Amber's anti-inflammatory and therapeutic properties are recognised by allopathic medicine as a natural analgesic, which will help to relieve teething pain and calm a baby without resorting to drugs.

AmberBebe's products are extremely safe with a knot before and after each bead to ensure that in the highly unlikely event of the string being broken, there is no risk of choking or of loose beads. AmberBebe products are not toys or to be worn as jewellery - they are healing products to be used under parental supervision.
