LSD: the learning drug, or is it?

Let's face it when you think of LSD (or google it), images of trippy visuals, tie-dye shirts, and maybe even Ed Shereen melting into his guitar come to mind. But what if I told you there's a buzz about LSD being a learning drug? Buckle up, psychonauts, because we're diving down the rabbit hole of this mind-bending debate. First, let's be clear: LSD is illegal and carries serious risks, both mental and physical. This ain't some "magic pill" for instant enlightenment. But hear me out... some pretty impressive figures have experimented with LSD and claimed it unlocked new perspectives and even fueled creativity. Exhibit A: Steve Jobs. The Apple co-founder famously credited LSD with "a peak into the top of my mind" and attributed its influence to his design sensibilities. Think about it, the sleek, minimalist aesthetic of Apple products – could that be a trip-inspired epiphany? Exhibit B: Aldous Huxley. This literary giant wrote "The Doors of P...

The Truth About "Vagina Cleaning" Products: Are They Safe?




The people selling those "vagina care" products are all about pitching them as absolute necessities for your health and self-esteem. But here's the real deal: they're playing off this kinda crazy idea that your lady bits are all dirty and desperate for a good scrub. Now, they're throwing in these wipes, claiming they'll make you feel all fresh, clean, and ready to conquer the world. But here's the kicker – take a peek at the chemicals in those wipes, and you'll see they're not exactly delivering on that promise of freshness and confidence. It's like they're selling a vibe, but the reality is a whole different story.

The reality is that the vagina is a self-cleaning organ. It does
not require special cleaning products. It does not even need any cleaning products at all. The use of products to clean the vagina increases the risk of infections since it potentially kills the normal flora already there and leaves it dry. This makes way for opportunistic and dangerous microorganisms to colonise the space. Also, attempts to clean the vagina with douches or similar products may cause inflammation and alter the vaginal pH ( which is important in keeping it infection free).  These products often contain fragrances and other ingredients that can further irritate the delicate skin of your vaginal area.

So, what should you do if you want to keep your vagina clean and healthy? The best thing to do is to simply wash it with warm water. If you have any concerns, talk to your doctor. They can offer advice on how to best care for your vaginal health.

Here are some additional tips for choosing safe vaginal care products:

  • Avoid products that contain harsh ingredients, such as fragrances, dyes, and alcohol.
  • Choose products that are fragrance-free and hypoallergenic.
  • Use plain water or a mild soap to clean the vulva.
  • Only use vaginal products when medically necessary.

It's also important to note that the feminine care industry is largely unregulated. This means that companies can put whatever they want in their products, without having to test them for safety first. So, it's important to be a savvy consumer and research before buying any feminine care product.

Here are some questions to ask yourself when choosing a vaginal care product:

  • Does the product contain any known harmful chemicals?
  • Is the product fragrance-free and hypoallergenic?
  • Is the product clinically tested?
  • Is the product recommended by doctors?

You're on the right track if you can answer yes to all of these questions. But if you have any doubts, it's best to err on the side of caution and choose a different product.

Your vagina is a precious part of your body. Treat it with the respect it deserves.
