Silver Water: Ancient Beauty Secrets
What Silver Is
When we hear the word "silver", or when we just imagine it, the world seems to plunge into the sea of chanted visions: silver moonlight, a silver brook, silver glare, silver rain... It is common knowledge that silver is also a precious metal from which a lot of jewelry is made.
Among famous people wearing silver are Betsy Brandt, Ursula Whittaker, Karina Smirnoff, Chelsie Hightower and many others...
However, silver isn't just a beautiful decoration. It also has a healing effect and it gives women beauty as subtle and charming as moonlight.
Silver is a tensile, malleable, easy-to-forge metal. It has a sparkling white color, reflects up to 95% of light. Silver can be twisted in any possible way, rolled out papyrus-like and stretched as thin as a spider's thread. It can be dissolved in concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids.
How Silver is Used
Pure silver is only used to cover items made of cheap metals. When used for making jewelry, it is normally alloyed with other metals, for example, copper. Besides jewelry, silver is used to make silverware, tableware and chandeliers.
In ancient Persia, Egypt, Greece and Rome silver served the same purpose as gold: it was used as money. In Babylon and Assyria, with their Moon cult, silver was considered a sacred metal. Till the middle of the second millennium B.C. silver was a rare product. It was brought to Egypt from Syria.
Ancient silver jewelry also contains a solid amount of gold.
The Power Of Silver
In ancient times already, people knew about the healing, disinfecting and purifying capacity of silver. Herodotus, when writing about the campaign of king Cyrus of Persia, mentioned that they kept drinking water in silver jars, and the water did not get spoilt despite the heat. Nowadays, there are scientific proofs that silver disinfects water.
Ancient Egyptian priests who were also known as healers applied silver plates to the wounds of Pharao's warriors. Parapsychologists affirm that silver is capable of reflecting emotional state, redirecting negative energy and thus purifying the body and the soul.
A silver spoon, when placed in a glass of water makes the water healthier. Drunk before a meal, it does not only disinfect water but also helps better digestion.
