Amber

Amber is a biological product of nature, and is fossilized tree resin, most often from pine trees. As such, it has a strong connection to the Earth and the Sun. the most common colour of Amber is a rich orange, emphasizing its connection with the sun. Because of its colouring it is also often associated with the solar plexus and sacral chakras. However, it can also be found in a green colour, and a blue colour which is considered a rarity and is highly sought after.


As the tree sap gardens into Amber it often takes on an almost real-life form, like a droplet. It has been associated both with the preservation of life, with insects often being found perfectly intact having become trapped in the sticky sap and encased for many years (we've all seen Jurassic Park right!?), and with loneliness and grieving. It was often placed in tombs and used in ancient funeral rites.


Amber is a powerful healer and has been used widely for a number of different purposes. As a natural purifier it draws negativity and illness out from the body and aids in tissue regeneration. It is also said to be great at helping to soothe and heal mental health issues.


As well as a healer of negativity and illness, it is also seen as a protector against certain ailments. In ancient cultures it was made into beads and strung around the neck of children to protect them, and also ease teething pains (although please note, it should never be put in the mouth). It was also ground down into a powder, mixed with water, oil or honey and used to cure deafness, poor eyesight, epilepsy, stomach ache, asthma, gout, fever, rheumatism, wounds and infections and even the plague!

Amber was also set alight by sailors to drive away sea monsters, and burning Amber was generally believed to dispel negative energies and evil spirits. When made into an incense it was thought to soothe stress and act as a disinfectant, clearing the area of germs and harmful bacteria and as such burning incense was often used when a woman was giving birth.


Whilst the properties of Amber appear to be most rooted in healing, it has also been associated with past life recall and longevity, and is also believed to heighten physical desire, curing impotency, frigidity and fertility issues in women.


As well as the above uses it has had in healing throughout the centuries, Amber has been associated with being especially beneficial in healing and regenerating specific areas of the body. These include: 

  • Abdominal
  • Arthritis
  • Asthma
  • Bladder
  • Bones
  • Constipation
  • Cough
  • Ear
  • Female Reproduction
  • Headaches
  • Infections
  • Kidneys
  • Lungs
  • Malaria
  • Migraines
  • Nervous System
  • Spleen
  • Throat
  • Thyroid
  • Trauma
  • Urinary


The most common way of using Amber for healing is to use it against the body, hence why it is often work as jewellery. The warmth of the skin heats it up and releases an active element known as Succinite, which is often used by the pharmaceutical industry in anti-aging and immune boosting and repair treatments. Rubbing the crystal between your hands and placing it on the affected area will have the same effect.


Real Amber can be quite pricey, so bear this in mind when buying jewellery or even the 'crystal' itself - it is best to check with the supplier to make sure what you are purchasing is true Amber!
