Clearing Acne With Colloidal Silver
Those who suffer from acne will surely tell you of the frustration and embarrassment they grapple with on a daily basis. Unpredictability actually becomes a predictable part of daily life; as we wait to see what each day will bring in terms of a breakout. Energy that could be spent on enjoying life and actively participating in business and social engagements is instead focused on preventing, treating, and concealing our acne. Medical advancements have afforded acne sufferers a variety of new products and many of them have done wonders – opening up a whole world of treatment. But there are natural treatments that have largely gone by the wayside to make room for their pricier prescriptive counterparts. Some of these natural products, however, have significant merit, including the use of colloidal silver to treat and prevent acne.
Silver is one of the world’s first effective topical applications. In fact, silver was first used on the skin in order to heal wounds and treat burns. This confidence in the therapeutic properties of silver stemmed from its initial use in maintaining freshness in food and drink before modern refrigeration. Societies who understood silver’s ability as a natural barrier against germs immediately put it to use, utilizing silver containers to store those items that they wanted to keep bacteria-free. This inherent ability to stop the spread of germs made silver a perfect candidate for topically treating skin conditions and it was used accordingly.
Today, silver is most effectively utilized in its colloid state. Colloidal silver is made of the smallest particles of silver that have been suspended in water by means of a positive electrical charge. Silver in this powerful state has been shown to kill over 650 microorganisms that are responsible for disease and illness in the human body. Subsequently, colloidal silver is taken orally as well as applied topically; an effective, albeit less popular method than conventional antibiotics.
Colloidal silver can also be ingested orally or applied topically when used for the treatment of acne. Its effectiveness comes from its ability to kill microorganisms. Acne is nothing more than a build of bacteria underneath the surface of the skin. When dirt and oil builds up on the surface of the skin pores become blocked and bacterial growth causes inflammation. Colloidal silver destroys these bacteria, removing the blockage to restore normal pore function, and thus clearing the skin.
Acne is an inconvenience; but it doesn’t have to control those who struggle with it. Treating acne with colloidal silver can safely, effectively, and naturally restore healthy, clean, glowing skin.
