SILVER

Did you know that silver is one of humanity’s first defenses against bacteria? The popularity of medicinal silver especially rose from 702 A.D. through 980 A.D. throughout the Middle East where it was widely used and esteemed for blood purification, heart conditions and controlling halitosis. For thousands of years, silver has been highly regarded as a versatile healing tool. Pioneers of the American West would often put a silver dollar into a jar or container of milk to help keep it fresh without refrigeration.
