Silver Water – The Secret of the Ancient Thracians

Ancient peoples associated the sun with gold and silver with the moon. These two celestial bodies governed their lives and inspired the first gods that humanity began to worship. Our ancestors left behind hundreds of thousands of artifacts made of gold and silver—jewelry, religious items, and everyday objects. But do we know everything about how they took advantage of the qualities of these precious metals?

By scientific definition, silver (chemical symbol Ag) is a chemical element, a transition metal, with atomic number 47 in the periodic table. It is characterized by a white color and a beautiful metallic luster, which also makes it part of the group of precious metals. A curious fact is that due to its high electrical conductivity, it is used not only in jewelry but also in electronics.

Even ancient physicians knew that silver possesses disinfecting and antiseptic properties. Today, this is explained by science—silver particles block infectious processes and support our body’s natural defenses.

In addition to its high price and unsurpassed beauty, the precious metal was associated with the gods and health. The Thracians used silver to make vessels for eating and storing liquids. Proof of this are several large silver treasures discovered by Bulgarian archaeologists. The most famous of them is the Rogozen Treasure, discovered in 1986. It is also the largest ever found in Bulgaria.

 

An ancient Thracian legend tells of a silver deposit at the foot of the Rila Mountains, in the lands of the Thracian Bessi tribe. Water flowed through it, reaching the foothills of the mountain and gushing out in a natural spring. The Thracians soon discovered that the water from this spring had purifying and refreshing properties.

Today, a factory stands on this site, built according to the most modern European and global standards. This is where “White Water” is bottled—the legendary water from Thracian lore.

Silver and History

Thracians, Hellenes, Romans—they all knew silver and its virtues. Silver is mentioned even in Egyptian and Druidic writings. It is claimed that even the Chinese imperial court ate with silver chopsticks.

Silver also played a major role in attempts to maintain hygiene during the plague in Europe. To protect themselves, wealthier families ate only from silver dishes and preventatively gave their children silver spoons to suck on. The goal was for the particles released from the material to kill any bacteria entering their bodies through the oral cavity.

During World War I, doctors used silver plates to fight infections in soldiers’ wounds. In 1970, Dr. Carl Moyer, chairman of the Department of Surgery at Washington University, began looking for more effective methods to treat burn victims. After extensive research, he and his team found that silver almost completely prevented infections resulting from burns. This led to its popularization as an antiseptic remedy, and today silver sulfadiazine is used topically in over 70% of burn centers in America.

What do the silver ions in White Water bring us?

According to long-term studies, silver acts on the enzyme used by pathogenic microorganisms, thereby stopping their reproduction. This leads to the “suffocation” of the microorganisms. It is claimed that silver water destroys hundreds of disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms, numerous infections, and inflammations, and helps with burns and post-operative recovery. Unlike most medicines, however, silver water does not suppress but rather supports the immune system.
