How to Use Colloidal Silver for Eye Infection
Colloidal silver contains natural antiseptic and disinfectant properties. As such, it is used as an alternative treatment for ailments ranging from general health issues to external infections, including eye infections such as conjunctivitis. Possible side effects or medication interactions are connected with the use of colloidal silver, so discuss its use with a doctor.
Items Needed:
- Colloidal silver
- Distilled water
- Sterile eye medicine dropper
- Cotton balls
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Small disposable cup
- Tissues or clean cloths
- Mix small, equal amounts of colloidal silver and distilled water in a disposable cup. Three ounce bathroom cups work well for this use as you only need enough for one use.
- Collect some of the colloidal silver mixture in a sterile eye medicine dropper. The eye dropper must be clean and sterile to prevent the spread of bacteria and further infect the eye.
- Squeeze two to three drops of the colloidal silver mixture into the infected eye. Close your eye for several seconds to allow the drops to cover the entire surface of the eye.
- Dab gently at your closed eye with a tissue or a clean cloth to soak up any of the mixture that seeped out of the eye.
- Dispense of any extra colloidal silver mixture and the disposable cup in the garbage.
- Clean the eye medicine dropper thoroughly with cotton balls soaked with isopropyl alcohol. Allow the dropper to air dry completely before the next use.
- Repeat this process one to three times a day, making a new mixture of colloidal silver and distilled water in a clean cup each time.
