Our Story
It all started with a drooling baby, in August, 2013...
We had reached that moment all new parents have heard about: Teething. It was messy, and tiring, and emotional— for all of us. You hate to see your sweet baby in pain, but you’re hesitant to use over the counter pain relievers… Does this sound like you? Yep, us too!
Our first son, CJ, was about 3 months old, covered in drool, and in some pain from teething. We had heard about baltic amber teething necklaces and decided to give it a try. Not even 12 hours later we saw not only a huge reduction in his drool, but he was back to his happy, cheerful pain-free self! It was amazing, and we were convinced this wasn’t just some weird voo-doo necklace (did you’re husband think this too?! Haha) but it actually worked!
Cody served in the Army for over 4 years and deployed twice. On his last deployment he suffered a knee injury and had throbbing, burning pain in his knee ever since. He would frequently take pain medication when it seemed to be abnormally painful, but most of the time he pushed through. After seeing what the baltic amber did for our first son, we decided to try it on Cody’s knee and see if he would have the same results. Within 15 minutes he felt a reduction in pain and it seemed to be easier to move. Now we saw why this had been used for thousands of years as a natural analgesic! (Read more about baltic amber here)
