Silver's Healing Touch: A Miraculous Power in Wound Care

 

One of the most effective wound treatments in modern medicine has been around for over 2,400 years! When Hippocrates recommended silver for treating wounds in his 400 BC book On Ulcers, he could hardly have imagined that this remedy would still be widely used in 2024. What's even more fascinating is that modern science now backs what he intuitively knew, with the effects of silver in wound healing well documented in contemporary research.

 

So, why has silver stood the test of time? The answer lies in its near-miraculous, multimodal action in wound care.

 

Germs Don’t Stand a Chance!

Silver’s first line of action in wound care is its potent ability to destroy pathogens. And it's not just limited to bacteria—silver effectively targets viruses and fungi as well, all of which can hinder proper wound healing.

 

Where the Miracle Begins

Research reveals that silver does far more than just fend off harmful microbes. When applied to a wound, it triggers a series of events that significantly boost the likelihood of successful healing.

 

Enter fibroblasts! These specialised connective tissue cells produce collagen and other essential fibres crucial for tissue repair and recovery. Silver binds to these fibroblasts, encouraging them to revert to a more primitive state, making them more adaptable and efficient in the wound-healing process. This ultimately leads to enhanced collagen production and faster recovery.

 

The bottom line? With silver, wounds are not only protected from infection but also heal faster with less scarring.

 

How to Use Silverlab Colloidal Silver for Scrapes, Abrasions or Cuts.

·         Any grit or sand in the abrasion, graze, or scrape must be rinsed or scrubbed out.

·         Rinse or spray the wound as soon as possible with a generous amount of Silverlab Healing Spray.

·         Keep the wound moist by spraying Silverlab Healing Spray or reapplying Silverlab Healing Gel 4–5 times daily. This helps prevent scarring and prevents the wound from cracking when a scab forms.

·         If the wound requires stitches, cover the area with a thick layer of Silverlab Healing Gel and visit your healthcare professional as soon as possible.

 

Most people who use Silverlab colloidal silver for wound care report little to no scarring. Once the abrasion, graze, or cut has closed, you can begin using Silverlab Healing Cream on the area.

 

How to Use Silverlab Colloidal Silver for Blisters

Should I drain my blister?

For most blisters, the general recommendation is to avoid draining them if possible. The skin covering the blister acts as a natural barrier to infection and helps protect the underlying tissue while it heals. Here's what you should do:

·         If the blister is small and not painful, it's usually best to just cover it with a sterile bandage or blister pad and leave it to heal on its own. As an extra measure you can cover the blister with Silverlab Healing Gel.

·         If the blister is large, painful, or likely to pop on its own, you can carefully drain it, but only if you take proper precautions to avoid infection:

o   Wash your hands and sterilise a needle (such as with rubbing alcohol).

o   Puncture the edge of the blister and gently press the fluid out, keeping the overlying skin intact.

o   Apply Silverlab Healing Gel, then cover it with a sterile bandage.

·         Watch for signs of infection (increased redness, warmth, or pus), which might require medical attention.

 

Letting it heal naturally is often the best approach unless it's causing discomfort or is at risk of bursting.
