I have used amber a lot in the past – when Max was tiny and teeth were popping through an amber anklet was really helpful, eased his pain and combatted the excessive drooling. Since then, I have done a lot more reasearch into amber and the benefits it can have, and after reading that it could also be helpful for eczema I was keen to try. The lovely Amber Anklets sent me a couple of dark cherry anklets, and we popped them on, crossing our fingers that they relieved some of Max’s itchiness. Getting photos of his eczema is really difficult (he’s pretty wriggly) but it’s red, inflamed and sore and no amount of creams seem to fix it.
The anklet measures in at 14cm and fits Max comfortably. Made from Baltic amber,the anklet is fitted with a screw clasp making it easy to take on and off when necessary, and is individually hand knotted for safety.
After 2 weeks, Max’s eczema is improved. I am not going to pretend it has gone away – I don’t think there is a magic cure, but the amber in combination with some Argan Oil (more on that soon) has definitely made the red patches less dry, more supple and less itchy. The amber anklet doesn’t bother Max at all – he isn’t really aware he has it on, and the benefits it is providing make it more than worth the ÂŁ9.99 price tag.

I have heard lots of good things about these. Will be letting my sister know for the babies as they’re both teething right now #TriedTested
When my two were little things like this were never around (or I was not aware) but they seem to have great benefits. A bargain price too xx
I’ve never heard of amber as an eczema remedy. How cool.

Great review. I hear so many great things about the amber – didn’t use them with my eldest two but definitely want to try them with new baby. I love the ‘dark cherry’ coloured one, but they’re all lovely!

*RAW* Dark Cherry Amber Anklet LIMITED EDITION
Multi honey my daughter also has suffered from eczema her whole life it really is trial and error as to what works for who may I suggest doublebase gel you can get from gp it doesn’t seem to be commonly prescribed we had to ask about it “maybe it’s expensive” and running the bath water with some oats in a mesh bag “like you get tangerines in” under water flow seemed to work for my daughter after a good soak, didn’t know about argan oil back then but it seems to be a wonder oil for all

I wish I’d known about the eczema-helping side of these when Alexa was really little as she suffered a huge amount then and it was so frustrating having to try endless creams/steroids etc and watching her constantly suffering. The price is reasonable too considering anything that can help make your little one even remotely better is well worth it. #triedtested

I used amber with Bella and I really felt it worked well. I like the idea of anklets a lot better than necklaces too 🙂
