Momma Goose Hazelwood Necklace, Green & White Beads

Momma Goose Baltic Hazelwood Necklace, Green & White Beads

Momma Goose Hazelwood Necklaces, made with branches of hazel wood, are a natural form of symptom relief for babies.

Hazel is a genus of deciduous trees and large shrubs that are native to the Northern Hemisphere.

Hazelwood seems to work by creating a more alkaline environment in the body through direct contact with skin, which may help to prevent and remedy many of the symptoms caused by acidosis (too much acidity in the body).

It is believed that the hazel wood absorbs excess acidity from the body until a balanced PH is reached. This has the potential to improve conditions caused by excess acidity, which can include skin issues such as eczema, as well as internal issues such as ulcers, acid reflux, heartburn, and teething pain.

Since these necklaces are not meant to be chewed, you should choose the appropriate necklace size so that the baby cannot get the necklace into his or her mouth.

The necklaces come in two sizes,

Small: 11 - 11 1/2 inches, and

Medium: 12 - 12 1/2 inches.

To choose the right size, cut a string to the length of both sizes and "try them on" the baby. It should not be so loose that the child can lift it up into his or her mouth, but is should not be so tight that it will be uncomfortable.

There are no known allergy issues to this product because it is made with the hazelwood branch, not the nut

You should remove the necklace whenever the child is unsupervised, including naps and bedtime. If you want to maximize the benefit of the amber, you could wrap the necklace twice around the baby's ankle for sleep time, provided it is covered by a sleeper or sock and inaccessible to the baby.

• Keep it free of lotions, polishes, waxes and other residues that might coat the surface and act as a barrier between the skin the the healing succinic acid in the amber.
• Hazelwood can be worn in the bath, but should be removed for the pool as the chemicals can break it down.
• Use warm water only to wash, not soap.
