Using apple cider vinegar (ACV) as a treatment for various ailments has a long history. Proponents of apple cider vinegar believe that it can treat anything from weight loss to diabetes. They also think that it may have some benefits for the face, such as helping with skin blemishes and sunburn. There is still no conclusive evidence that ACV can treat skin conditions. But some people might still experience benefits from using it for conditions that include eczema and sunburn. The antimicrobial properties of ACV could treat acne. When diluted correctly, ACV could reduce bacteria on the skin that worsen acne, but there is no scientific evidence to confirm this. Like salicylic or glycolic acid, diluted ACV could be useful as a chemical peel to treat acne scars. To avoid complications, discuss with a skin professional before using ACV in this way. Careful use of diluted ACV might have some benefits for skin conditions. It is best to consult with a dermatologist before using ACV on the skin. (Credits: www.medicalnewstoday.com)

When a person uses acid, they become disconnected from reality. They may see, hear, and sense things that are not real. They may also have strong emotions. This is known as a “trip.” Acid is a slang term for lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). It belongs to a group of substances called psychedelics. Some people who have used acid report having a “bad trip,” which means that their experience was unpleasant. A bad trip may be terrifying or deeply disturbing. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) classify acid as a Schedule I drug. This means that it has no accepted medical use and has a high potential for abuse. Acid primarily affects the prefrontal cortex area of the brain, which controls mood, thinking, reactions, panic, and perception. As well as from serotonin receptors, acid also binds to dopamine receptors and adrenergic receptors. Although studies are at an early stage, there is some evidence to suggest that LSD may be effective in treating certain mental health conditions, but researchers must continue to explore this. At present, there is no FDA approval for this, and the drug remains illegal. (Credits: www.medicalnewstoday.com)
