F.A.Qs: Frequently Asked Questions

What do you recommend between a necklace and a bracelet?

If you must make a choice between the two, we recommend wearing the necklace, the reason being that there are more Hazelwood beads on the necklaces. The more Hazelwood that is in contact with your skin, the better the results you will have.  Another option to consider is to use a necklace and loop it around your wrist twice.

By wearing both necklace and bracelet together you will be able to maximize the benefits of this product. In addition, if you chose to remove the necklace for the day, your acidity surplus will still decrease because of the healing properties of your bracelet. If you have an acidic related ailment that is present in your limbs, wearing a bracelet or anklet closer to the problem area will further increase it's efficiency.

How will I know when my necklace is no longer working?

First, you will begin to notice the symptoms returning. You will also see that the extremities of the wood beads have started to darken. When this occurs you will then need to replace your old necklace, as the ability of the necklace to absorb acidity is greatly diminished .

From what age can a baby wear a necklace?

It is at the parents’ discretion. Hazelwood helps with teething, as well as with many other ailments that often bother young babies; bad digestion, diaper rash and various skin irritations. Therefore as soon as you feel your baby could benefit from Hazelwood, it is possible for your baby to wear one.

Are the baby necklaces safe?

Yes they are. The clasp has been specially designed with your child’s safety in mind. For example, if the necklace were to be caught on a blanket’s threads, the loops on the clasp will open when pulled. The necklace thread cannot break, so there would not be any loose beads.  If you are not comfortable with your baby wearing the necklace at night, another option would be to wrap it around baby’s ankle so your little one is still getting the benefit of the Hazelwood against his/her skin.

What size necklace should I chose for my baby’s neck?

The necklace must be of comfortable length for your baby. You should be able to slip your two fingers between the necklace and your baby’s neck.  The necklace should not be long enough for your baby to bring the necklace to his/her mouth.

Can we wear the necklace in the shower or the bath?

Yes, Hazelwood does not lose its benefits when in contact with water. However, any water with chlorine will alter the life span and the efficiency of your necklace. We therefore recommend you remove the necklace at the pool.

 Can I wear this necklace despite my allergy to metal clasps used with most jewelry?

You can cover the clasp with a couple of coats of clear nail polish or with a small piece of tape. You can also contact the office and ask for the same necklace set on an elastic thread.

Can I wear your necklaces even if I am allergic to nuts?

Hazelwood branches are not in contact with the nuts of the Hazelwood bush. We are particularly careful about this when harvesting the wood. Therefore, you should have no allergy problems wearing the necklaces.

I have noticed the bark peeling off the necklace. Is this a sign it is not working?

Bark peeling off is a natural process for the wood. It may alter the appearance of the necklace, but in no way does it alter its effectiveness.
