Well… this wasn’t how I planned to demonstrate one of the traditional uses of colloidal silver. 😂
I walked over to my neighbor’s fence line to visit one of my favorite horses, caught my foot on a vine I didn’t see, and went FACE FIRST onto the asphalt.
Face. Hands. Knee. Hip. Pride. 😬
After getting everything thoroughly cleaned, I reached for something that has a fascinating history in wound care: silver.
Long before modern antibiotics, silver was used topically in the care of wounds, burns, and damaged skin because of its antimicrobial properties. And silver hasn’t completely disappeared from modern wound care, either—certain medical-grade silver dressings and topical products are still used in medicine today for particular wounds.
I think it’s pretty fascinating that something with such a long history continues to be studied and used in different forms today.
If you've never tried colloidal silver or want to learn more about it, comment SILVER and I'll send you an info sheet all about it! If you're local, we've got colloidal silver restocked on our site for pickup in our farmstand.
So this little apothecary lesson comes courtesy of me losing a fight with a vine while visiting a horse named Boaz. 🌿😂
