For thousands of years, silver has been recognized as one of the safest and most effective natural antimicrobials. From ancient civilizations to modern hospitals, silver has played a vital role in protecting health. Today, Glow Guardian brings that same proven science into your home in a new form — the world’s first air-purifying candle.
Ancient Uses of Silver
As early as 1000 BC, the Egyptians applied silver to wounds to speed healing. By 400 BC, Hippocrates — often called the father of medicine — described silver’s ability to promote recovery and prevent infection.
Silver for Infants
From 150 to 1000 AD, families in Europe gave babies milk from silver spoons and bottles. This wasn’t just a display of wealth — silver naturally helped protect infants from infection, a fact that gave rise to the phrase “born with a silver spoon.”
19th Century Advances
By the mid-1800s, doctors began using silver nitrate as a standard treatment to stop bleeding and inflammation. Soon after, it became common practice to place silver nitrate drops in newborns’ eyes to prevent blindness caused by infections at birth.
Early 20th Century Medicines
In the 1920s, silver was so trusted that over 50 different silver-based medicines were on the market worldwide. Its safety and broad-spectrum antimicrobial power made it indispensable.
Modern Medical Breakthroughs (1980s–1990s)
Silver’s story didn’t stop there. During the 1980s and 1990s, silver found new life in modern hospitals. FDA-approved silver sulfadiazine creams became the gold standard for treating burn victims, and silver-coated wound dressings helped prevent deadly infections in surgery and trauma care. This era proved that silver was not only ancient wisdom but also cutting-edge science.
Today and Beyond — Silver in Indoor Air Purification
Now, silver’s protective power is entering homes in an entirely new way. With Glow Guardian, silver is infused into a natural wax candle. When lit, it gently releases ultra-low levels of silver ions that neutralize airborne bacteria, viruses, and mold spores.
