Hazelwood Necklaces
Not only are they natural, beautifully
designed and Canadian, they work!
History
The use of Hazelwood originated long ago when Aboriginal
people would put Hazelwood chips on their babies' necks
to soothe teething pains. In 2002, a Quebec family with
teething children did some research and rediscovered
that this tree, indigenous to the province, yields many
other health benefits. They incorporated their business
and became the manufacturer and supplier of Pure Hazelwood
products. The family has seen their company grow from
small to substantial, based on product reputation, not
media hype. They oversee all areas of production from
growing their own trees, designing the products, to
hand making their necklaces from start to finish.
Health benefits of Hazelwood
Necklaces made from Hazelwood are as effective for adults
as they are for babies and children. Hazelwood has the
medicinal property of neutralizing the body's acidity,
which by doing so, relieves or prevents ailments such
as ulcers, acid reflux, heartburn, teething, skin problems
(psoriasis, eczema, acne), arthritis and arthrosis,
constipation, migraines, and dental cavities.
Life span of a Hazelwood necklace
The life span of your necklace will depend on the level
of acidity of your body. However, in general, a necklace
will maintain its medicinal benefits for 6 months to
1 year. Higher acidity may mean a shorter lifespan of
the necklace. Two indicators that your necklace is loosing
effectiveness: the ends of the wood beads will darken
and/or symptoms return.
Product safety
The clasp used for the 11 & 13 inch models has
proven to be the safest for babies and children. In
the event the necklace gets caught or is under too much
tension, one of the loops at the end of the clasp will
open (see picture). Since the string of beads is sealed
at both ends with a metal clamp before being tied to
the clasp, the beaded strand will remain intact and
no small pieces would be accessible for children to
swallow if the loops were to open. Beads will not fall
out because the thread, made of steel covered in nylon,
can't break.
How they work
Once you decide on the style, simply have your baby
wear it as they would any other necklace. Soon you will
notice less discomfort and a positive change in your
child. The transformation may be in one or two days,
even a few hours but obviously varies with each child.
To work effectively, your baby should wear it all the
time next to his or her skin, even in the bath. Simply
remember to remove it at the pool because the chlorine
will alter the effectiveness of the wood. That's all
there is to it!! Although it looks attractive worn over
the clothes, it must be in contact with the skin to
work. Your necklace will last your child 6 to 12 months,
depending on your baby's acidity level. The higher the
level, the faster the necklace will absorb, ultimately
affecting it's life span.
