The first information about the healing properties of Baltic amber can be found in Hippocrates’ works (460-370 B.C.). Amber and its preparations have been used in European folk medicine for centuries, and modern research has confirmed its therapeutic features. It contains 3-8% succinic acid, which stimulates kidneys, intestines and the nervous system. It is a recognised panacea for rheumatism, asthma and ailments of the respiratory system. In cosmetology, succinic acid and amber oil are used as agents to disinfect, kill germs and neutralise free radicals.
Succinic acid (C4H6O4) exists in the form of white crystals. It can bolster your vital powers and the immunity of your organism. Moreover, it also slows down ageing processes, acting as an antioxidant. Aside from Baltic amber, succinic acid can be found in unripe gooseberries, grapes, sugar beet juice, turnips and rhubarb.
