dc.description.abstractAmber, a gem that has been very appreciated since antiquity, was used also as an amulet and a medicine. All the most outstanding medical treati ses of the past tell about the therapeutic properties attributed to amber, and report singular recipes to obtain pharmaceutical preparations. Amber was much-sought for this use until the middle of XIX century, but with the beginning of the modern medicine, its use disappeared, carrying with it the memory of ancient times.en_US
