With airline flight times of a couple of hours to airports including Innsbruck, Salzburg or Klagenfurt, ski housing in Austria is available within just 5 hours from the UK. There are lots of really good ski resorts within an hour’s drive of the crucial alpine gateway air terminals. If you fly on an airline into Innsbruck you can see ski resorts less than half an hour away from the airport. Ski exchange providers are available.

Baltic amber for pain relief

Natural Baltic Amber began it’s life in ancient times when giant pine trees shed their resin which then joined with the earth and gradually migrated in the soil to the sea carrying along with it tiny fragments of insects and plant life. Never a “gem”, Baltic amber has always been considered a fossilized resin with some amazing capabilities.

Pain relief is one of the main reasons people use natural Baltic amber. Though the resin itself isn’t a painkiller, its succinic acid is believed to have analgesic properties that take the edge off of pain. Baltic amber has been used to alleviate all types of pain, from mild to severe. People have used Baltic amber to ease carpal tunnel syndrome, lessen back pain, alleviate menstrual cramps, ease arthritis, soothe migraine headaches, and help alleviate a baby’s teething pains. Amber may even restore energy, strengthen the immune system and promote general wellness.

In order to truly benefit from natural Baltic amber, the amber must come in direct contact with your body in order to release its healing oils which come from contact with the skin. Amber is warm to the touch and transmits a relaxing smell when worn in your hand. As mentioned earlier, it is the only fossil resin containing 3 to 8% succinic acid, which is a multi purpose therapeutic substance. Amber is found in a great variety of colors.

Belarus as a Tourist Destination

Belarus was formerly known as “White Russia” and is located between Russia and Poland bordering Ukraine to the south.

It is a country of wide plains, deep dark forests and over ten thousand lakes. There are also large tracts of wild, desolate marshland. Everywhere, the land is relatively flat with three major rivers running through it. These are the Neman, the Pripyat, and the Dnepr. The Dnepr river flows southward towards the Black Sea, whilst both the Neman and the Pripyat flow eastward and into the Dnepr.

The forests cover over one third of Belarus’s 80,000 square miles (about the same size as the state of Kansas or Great Britain). They are incredibly beautiful and mysterious places where birches, oaks, maple and pines provide shelter for European bison, bears, wolves, lynx, elk and deer. Where the forest ends, the tourist will find picturesque villages and historical monuments in the form of churches, monasteries and castles that date back to the twelfth century.
