History

Thanks for your interest in TinyTeethers, my ‘mommy’ company.  Hazelwood necklaces are not only natural, beautifully designed and Canadian, they work!

I am a mother to a wonderful toddler. Many months ago, while traveling, my daughter experienced teething pains, making her restless and irritable. On the advice of another Mom, I picked up a special necklace in a store, put it on her and saw the changes within hours. Upon returning home many of my friends with babies asked how my daughter was coping with her teething problems. When I told them what I had found they were understandably somewhat skeptical but asked me to bring some back the next time I traveled. When they received their ‘gifts’, they were over the moon about this simple little necklace. It was from that point on that I felt I needed to introduce Western Canadian parents to Hazelwood necklaces and Pure Hazelwood products.

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.
