Amber, particularly Baltic amber, is believed to help with teething due to the presence of succinic acid, a natural compound found in the resin. When the amber beads are warmed by the skin, they are thought to release tiny amounts of this acid, which may have anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. This could help reduce gum inflammation, alleviate pain, and lessen drooling in teething babies. While there is limited scientific evidence supporting these claims, many parents find amber necklaces to be a natural remedy that offers comfort to their babies during the teething process.
