Shel uses hers for headaches, and my sister has stopped getting her twice weekly migraines since we gave her one in February. I use mine for rheumatoid arthiritis, and have only had two flare-ups since getting them in January, down from monthly!
I thought they took about 12-24 hours for them to start working, but who really knows the power of amber! I love DD's necklace, the 2nd night after she started wearing she slept through the night which she hadn't done for months. Although she has only slept through once more since then I still believe it works...I haven't given her panadol or bonjela since she has started wearing it. I can just see her eye teeth at the surface of her top gum so i don't think they are very far from coming through.
