NEW Amber Ointment
a treasure from the Baltic Sea…
Baltic amber is unique to the southern shores of the Baltic Sea and is steeped in Polish medicinal tradition. Its healing and warming properties have been sworn-by for centuries and used in ointments, balms and tinctures – even in jewellery claiming to relieve pain.
The ointment contains minerals such as silica, magnesium, iron, calcium and potassium, as well as organic compounds combined with iodine, volatile substances and resin acids which are all believed to have a positive influence on our health.
Baltic amber also contains up to 8% succinic acid, a bio-stimulant which activates cell metabolism and shows anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. Succinic acid is also found in various food ingredients including gooseberries, apples, grapes and turnips. However, Baltic amber contains a thousand times more succinic acid than even rhubarb stalks, the food richest in the acid!
Beneficial for massage and after exercise, Amber Ointment can be applied several times a day to joints and muscles. Terpenes, found in Baltic amber in large quantities, have warming abilities which help to loosen up muscles around the joints as well as improving blood circulation. They also have the ability to stimulate sensory nerve endings, therefore extending blood vessels and increasing skin blood flow, which can be beneficial in pain reduction.
Free from artificial colours, preservatives and parabens, Amber Ointment is also an effective moisturiser and is nourishing and soothing for the skin.
Now available in the UK, Amber Ointment (35g) costs £6.99 and is available from www.healthy2u.co.uk
