What is Succinic Acid or Amber Acid

Succinic or Amber acid

Succinic Acid or Amber Acid has been used in Europe as a natural antibiotic and general curative for centuries.

Natural Baltic Amber is high in Succinic Acid and contains as much as 8 percent by weight. Succinic Acid is also a natural constituent of plant and animal tissues.

It is very important to your body. It is used in the Krebs Cycle which is involved in the intermediary metabolic process. Another name for the Krebs Cycle is the Citric Acid Cycle. 

Amber gems are believed to be a very powerful anti-oxidant that may help fight toxic free radicals and disruptions of the cardiac rhythm, succinic acid has been shown to stimulate the neural system recovery and strengthens the immune system, it also known to help compensate for energy drain in the body and brain, boosting awareness, concentration and reflexes, and reducing stress. 

Even before scientists today discovered acids antibiotics, the people of Europe recognized that Baltic amber has curative powers. They used amber beads for their medicinal benefits when we today would use an antibiotic. They would use amber in many forms. They used amber bracelets, Baltic amber teething necklaces, powder, chips, stones, oils and smoke. 

Now that modern science has discovered what succinic acid can do, they have confirmed what the people of Europe have known for centuries. The ancients wore natural Baltic amber teething necklaces, adults amber necklaces and amber bracelets, made from Baltic amber stones and chips that washed up on the shores of the Baltic Sea, the ancients believed that the Amber had magical curative powers. They surely had no idea that they were high in succinic acid, but they knew they worked magic on their ills. 

In the middle ages when the devastating plagues overtook Europe, amber was used for fumigation. Burning amber is both aromatic and irritating at the same time. And that is due to the high content of succinic acid in the smoke. Even in today’s age aroma therapists use Amber smoke to try and help cure people. The people of Europe used the curative properties of amber in many ways. Recognizing its properties as an effective antibiotic, they have used, and continue to use it, for amber baby teethers, Baltic amber baby teething necklaces, spoons and pipe mouthpieces. Aristocrats of the 17th Century would brew tea in special amber containers knowing that the amber vessel it is brewed in would release something into the tea that would cure them of their ills. 

European scientists and military doctors lead the way in following up on the ancient knowledge. They found that it would help improve the body’s immune system after exposure to radiation from industrial accidents. 

It has also been found to help boost the immune system and combat infections; It is also used by some as an aid to help hangovers and works against other toxins in your body from both environmental and recreational hazards. 

Research at the University Of Hamburg, Germany confirms the safe and positive effects of succinic and fumaric acids in cellular metabolism. 

Succinic acid is now produced commercially. And it is approved for use by the United States Food and Drug Administration.
