Colloidal silver can support the immune system due to its antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties. Here I share some of the many ways in which I use it to support my boys, including first line defence for minor cuts and scrapes, and for prevention of illness during and after travel, and large events, when people are more at risk of catching illness due to exposure to germs in crowded spaces. If your kids habitually get sick during travel, especially on or after plane journeys, I encourage you to try this simple hack, you won’t be disappointed (see below for How to Use).
Antimicrobial Properties: Colloidal silver has antimicrobial properties, which means it may help kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It has historically been used as an antibacterial agent, particularly before the advent of modern antibiotics.
Immune Support: Colloidal silver can boost the immune system, helping the body fight off infections more effectively.
Respiratory Support: You can use colloidal silver as a diluted nasal spray or inhaled solution to support respiratory health, especially during times of colds or flu. It may help to combat respiratory infections.
Wound Healing: Colloidal silver can help promote wound healing when applied topically. It is thought to prevent infection and aid in tissue repair.
Skin Health: Due to its antimicrobial properties, colloidal silver is used in some skincare products to address conditions like acne, eczema, and other skin irritations.
Topical Application:
- For skin issues like cuts, scrapes, burns, or acne, colloidal silver can be applied directly to the affected area using a clean cotton ball, swab, or spray bottle.
- We keep a small version of this in our handy first aid kit. A great first defence for minor wounds from playing sports etc.
Oral Consumption:
- Colloidal silver can be ingested orally, typically by taking small doses diluted in water.
- Others (this includes our family 🙂 prefer to hold the solution under the tongue for a short period before swallowing to increase absorption.
- It’s simple to take, and the perfect travel companion you won’t want to be without.
How to use:
- Please use instructions according to your brand of Colloidal Silver. We use the Sovereign Silver Kids version for our youngest boys (under 12) and the original solution for our oldest.
- Using the dropper, place 4-6 drops under the tongue.
- Hold solution for 20-30 secs, then swallow.
- Use right after plane journey/time spent in overcrowded spaces.
- Repeat (using same directions) after 1-2 hours.
