I have been using baltic amber on my children since my 3 1/2 year old, Lucas was about 5 months old. He has always worn his baltic amber necklace. I've had several, (from different sellers), because as they are designed to do, they have broken with wear. But, I had never tried the beaked hazelwood and baltic amber combination until I was given this opportunity by
Healing Hazel.
The owner of Healing Hazel discovered the benefits of hazel on necklaces back in 1982 (I wasn't even born yet!) and has been working with hazel wood ever since. In 2004, they established their company
Bienfaits Noisetier.
I learned about hazel wood through
Diaperswappers.com and other Attachment Parenting/Natural Parenting friendly websites I browse. Until Vincent started showing signs of excema, around 6 weeks old, I didn't really have a NEED to try it out.
I bought my first 2 Healing Hazel necklaces during a Greenbaby Bargains sale in April 2012. I noticed an immediate difference in Vinnie's excema and determined that we would keep buying the necklaces.
Within 4 months and 5 days I was ordering new necklaces, this time from EcoBaby Buys, they were still Healing Hazel brand, just being offered a discount. I bought another two necklaces.
Another 4 months and 9 days past and those two necklaces were worn out, it was time for more. Needing a necklace promptly, I ordered from a local work-at-home-mom run store, For Mom and Keiki. She had Healing Hazel brand necklaces in stock and was able to quickly ship one to me.
As you can see, I BELIEVE in healing hazel. I have seen first hand the effects it has for my son's SEVERE excema.
Vincent was in the throws of a serious outbreak, thanks to the cold and flu our family was struggling with and the necklace from
For Mom & Keiki was wearing out much quicker than our previous necklaces. The opportunity to test a hazelamber necklace from Healing Hazel came at the perfect time and our new necklaces arrived just one month after the last necklace had been purchased.
Vinnie tested out the
12" Baby/Child sized HazelAmber necklace with orange beads.
Vinnie's BEFORE Pictures
You can see the red patches all over his hands, arms, and belly. His entire body was covered like this the day we put the new hazelamber necklace on.
Vinnie's AFTER Pictures
Vinnie's necklace wore out after about 70 days. We obviously noticed an almost immediate benefit and his skin cleared up dramatically.
Beaked hazelwood DEFINITELY helps to clear his excema--which is related to food allergies, fevers, and environmental allergies.
I tested out the
18" Adult HazelAmber necklace with dark blue/gunmetal beads.
I have to be honest & say I only wore the necklace for about a week. I didn't notice it helping any with period/hormone related headaches or my excema. But, my excema is very mild and typically only on my legs. I tried wearing the necklace around my ankle, doubled up, but it was just a smidge too tight.
I wish it came in a longer length, because I would wear it just as beautiful jewelry if it weren't so short. I like my necklaces to be about 23-24 inches long and the 18" length was too much like a choker on me.
Here are some pictures of our hazelwood necklaces that have worn out:
