Hazel wood necklace Would you like a solution to help ease you baby's pain that is 100% natural, handmade and 100% Canadian? I am the mom of a teething toddler and I am excited to introduce you to this amazing product that has worked miracles for my daughter. The family business that makes the necklaces has been in business for 6 years, has a pristine track record and sells in over 900 outlets...just not in in BC, until I started Tiny Teethers; Pure Hazelwood necklaces for the whole family right here in Delta. The principle is simple and natural. The necklace is merely worn by the teething baby and it does the rest. The wood absorbs the body's acidity, which causes pain when babies are teething. This practice has been widely used by North American Indians with great success. Hazelwood helps with other ailments that affect children and adults such at eczema, digestive problem, arthritis, migraines, skin problems, constipation, acid reflux etc. The necklace's are to be worn, not chewed. The clasps and strings have been designed to be safe for children of all ages. 24 models available in 6 different size.
