Wood from the beaked hazel tree has the medicinal property of neutralizing the body's acidity, and helps the body create and maintain an alkaline balance. It is an ancient remedy first used by aboriginal people, and is effective for people of all ages.
Inspired by Finn necklaces are made from the branches of a beaked hazel tree and untreated gemstones. No chemicals of any kind (pesticides, fertilizers, etc.) are used to grow the trees these necklaces are made from. The necklaces are handmade - from the gathering of the wood to the stringing of the beads.
Don't be alarmed if/when the bark comes off; the wood beads will change over time.
HOW CAN BEAKED HAZEL WOOD HELP YOU OR YOUR LITTLE ONE?
Beaked hazel wood can relieve acid-related ailments such as acid reflux, ulcers, heartburn, and other acid-related ailments. Hazel wood necklaces are a great remedy to take the edge off of heartburn and morning sickness during pregnancy.
Hazel wood also helps relieve skin problems such as (psoriasis, eczema, acne, and diaper rash) constipation, headaches, migraines, canker sores, and the occurrence of dental cavities when these ailments are related to excessive acid in the body (and sometimes they are not).
Historically hazel wood has also been used as a teething remedy, but many people find that generally Baltic Amber provides greater relief for teething discomfort than beaked hazel wood.
Overall, it is very important to our physical well-being to maintain a slightly alkaline balance in the body. This can be difficult for many to achieve as the diet in our culture tends to be too high in sugars and sugar substitutes, white flour, processed foods, and animal protein, and too low in fruits and vegetables. When the body becomes more acidic than alkaline the medical condition of acidosis develops. Acidosis weakens many of the body’s systems that help keep it healthy and disease free.
THE WEAR & CARE OF YOUR NECKLACE
- In order to receive a therapeutic benefit, the necklace should be worn as much as possible. For adults we recommend wearing the necklace over night as well as during the day.
- Running the necklace under water and wearing it while it is wet/moist will aid the body in absorbing the beneficial properties of the Hazel wood.
- It is not recommended to wear it in the pool, spa, or in other highly chlorinated water.
- The life span of the necklace will depend on the level of acidity of the body. In general, a necklace will maintain its therapeutic value for 4 –12 months. Higher acidity may mean a shorter lifespan of the necklace. A necklace is losing effectiveness when the ends of the wood beads darken and/or symptoms return.
