Colloidal Silver Uses

1. Anti-Everything

Colloidal silver is a great natural antibiotic, thanks to its antimicrobial powers. It turns out that this isn’t a recent finding – silver has been used since ancient Roman and Greek times to preserve foods and drinks! This powerful liquid can kill fungal infections, viruses and bacteria. 2011 research states that colloidal silver nanoparticles have the potential to be an effective alternative to conventional antifungal treatments for Candida-related conditions.

2. Fight Inflammation

Use colloidal silver topically to relieve the pain and discomfort caused by inflammation and swelling, speed up healing and aid recovery.

3. Clear up Eye Infections

Thanks to its antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, colloidal silver can soothe and cure eye infections like pink eye, conjunctivitis and sties. Treatment couldn’t be easier. Simply add two or three drops of colloidal silver to the eye, and repeat three to four times daily. If you prefer, you can use it as eyewash or spray it gently over the eyes instead.

4. Treat Ear Infections

Ear infections can sometimes be caused by several different types of bacteria, or even fungus. In these cases, prescription drugs may be ineffective – as they are designed to work against specific classes of bacteria. Here’s where colloidal silver comes in! Because it kills so many types of bacteria and fungus, it offers a more promising remedy. It even works for swimmers’ ear. Add two drops of colloidal silver to the affected ear once or twice a day until symptoms clear up.

5. Soothe Burns, Cuts & Scrapes

Colloidal silver stimulates skin and tissue healing while reducing inflammation, meaning it’s a perfect treatment for minor cuts and scrapes, treating burns.

6. Ease Skin Conditions

Psoriasis, pimples, blackheads, white heads, cysts and red, inflamed skin are all painful, uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing skin conditions. Whether these issues are caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi, they can benefit from a silver treatment, which also helps speed the repair of damaged tissues. Try a nightly application of silver colloids and you should notice the effects within days.

7. Eliminate Sinus Infections

Sinusitis – a continued feeling of pain or pressure in the face, and a blocked nose – can seriously affect quality of life. Painkillers, steroids and antibiotics are some of the conventional cures prescribed for this nasty condition, but these aren’t without their own unwanted side-effects. Tilt your head back and pour a few drops into your nasal cavity or add it to a neti pot, which is specifically designed to flush out the sinuses.

8. Beat Colds & Flu

Because it is such a potent antimicrobial, colloidal silver may help reduce the length and severity of colds and flu.

9. Treat Pneumonia

Antibiotics are limited in their ability to fight bronchitis or pneumonia. And naturally, when the pneumonia is viral, antibiotics won’t help at all. Of course, colloidal silver can fight a variety of pathogens so may be an effective treatment in this case. It works when ingested internally or when breathed it into the lungs using a nebulizer. one teaspoon of colloidal silver three times daily for 10 to 15 minutes can clear these conditions up within a couple of days!

10. Cure a Sore Throat

Gargling with silver is a fantastic way to pick up and remove the pathogens in your throat causing you all that pain! Gargle with one to two tablespoons for up to two minutes. Repeat this up to five times per day until recovered. Remember to spit it out in order to remove the microbes from your body! You can also use colloidal silver as a throat spray, administering several times a day.

11. Not Just For Humans!

This healing liquid doesn’t just cure humans – it can be a fantastic natural remedy for our four legged friends too. For dogs, use it for infections, minor cuts and wounds, eye and ear infections and ringworm. When administering orally, 5 to 10 drops twice a day is recommended. As a wound cleaner, apply several times a day on a cotton swab. Ear infections require a few drops daily for up to ten days, while for eye infections one drop three times daily should do the trick. Cats can also be treated with colloidal silver. Holistic veterinarian Karen Becker recommends using it to treat feline problems like feline acne, tear stains, yeast infections, skin conditions and MRSA.

12. Great for Gardeners

Colloidal silver doesn’t just have medicinal uses – it can be used to kill plant fungus and other infections which destroy your beautiful flowers and crops. Applying silver nanoparticles to the roots of green onion plants completely eliminated certain types of fungal infections which tend to destroy the plants. Add colloidal silver to the base of your plants, or mix up in a spray bottle (dilute with distilled water to 5 ppm) and apply to any affected leaves or roots.

13. A Natural Fruit and Veggie Wash

While buying or growing organic is best when it comes to fruits and vegetables, sometimes it’s not always possible. To protect your self from what’s on conventional produce; mix up a batch of this natural colloidal silver fruit and vegetable wash.

14. Keep Flowers Fresh

15. Get Rid of Pet Odours

Colloidal silver is a simple and natural way to keep your home smelling fresh by removing those stubborn pet odours. If you have a cat who regularly ‘sprays’ or a dog who marks his territory, try dousing the area in a solution of colloidal silver.
