First Aid-Colloidal Silver

Silver has been used for thousands of years from the Egyptians to the Romans, to settlers in North America and Australia. Many Chinese dynasties as well as wealthy elite during the plague used silver utensils, dishes and vessels to purify their water and prevent bacterial growth. During the 1800's while settlers were colonizing the western parts of America, they frequently put silver dollars in their milk to keep it from spoiling. Still today some of the older generations may have kept that tradition going.

 While the healing properties of colloidal silver have been known for thousands of years in Ayurvedic and Chinese culture, it was not until the late 1800's that the medicinal values of silver were discovered in western medicine. During the early 1900's there were over 60 different formulations of silver created.

Silver has been used in burn treatment centers all across the world since the 1950's and 60's, and can be found already soaked or embedded in gauze pads, bandages, and dressings. In addition to thousands of years of practical use, recent scientific studies on humans and animals have shown that wounds treated with silver heal more quickly than wounds not treated with silver.

Out of all of the formulations, the simple mixture of pure distilled water and pure nano particles of silver remains effective at disinfecting wounds such as cuts, scrapes and sores, reducing redness and inflammation on the skin, as well as helping keep the pores free of bacteria. It is a perfect go to in any first aid kit at home or on the go. Only a few drops or sprays is all it takes.
Suggested use:
Add several drops or 1-3 sprays of silver to the selected area of the skin. allow to dry slightly before applying bandage or gauze pads to area. Alternatively allow to air dry.
How to make your own silver pads
soak guaze pad, bandage pad (not sticky part) or dressing for 15-30 seconds and allow to air dry. If a single bandage, just add a drop or two to the bandage. Silver nanoparticles will dry in the fibers of the bandage, keep it sterile, and will be ready to disinfect.
