Soothe Cystitis with Amber

A glowing chunk of amber is to the right. Amber is especially good for your older cat because it is said to boost the immune system, ease the pain of arthritis, and restore some "joie de vivre" by relieving anxiety and depression, often important for treating an older animal. We hear it is excellent for alleviating cystitis. It is also a powerful stone of protection, acting against the absorption of negative energies. Powers attributed to amber by folklore include love, strength, luck, healing, and protection, calming for hyperactivity and stressed nerves, help finding humor and joy.

Legend says that amber was believed to provide magicians and sorcerers with special enhanced powers. Chinese amber was said to contain the souls of many tigers and the power of many suns. Another Oriental legend is that amber is the drops of petrified dragon’s blood. During the Classical era it was thought to be formed by the rays of the setting sun.
