Amber pieces are beneficial for respiratory and stomach issues, soothing heartburn, relieving pain, and improving digestion. It can also be applied as a compress to alleviate joint and headache pain.
To prepare amber tea, place a handful of amber pieces in boiling water and let them steep for 15-20 minutes, ensuring the water stays warm by placing the container over a lit candle. The water's color will remain unchanged, but it will acquire a subtle, pleasant flavor from the succinic acid and essential oils released by the amber. This invigorating tea supports the body’s natural defenses, aids in detoxification, and enhances metabolism. You can also add herbs to enhance the flavor of the tea.
For a stronger infusion, pour vodka, homemade alcohol, or diluted spirits over the amber pieces. Allow the mixture to sit for at least four days to develop a rich taste. Consume 30-50 ml of this amber infusion before meals to support digestion and help with respiratory and stomach ailments. Additionally, compresses made from the infusion can be applied to relieve joint and headache pain.
You can reuse the amber pieces several times until they start to degrade.
