The practice involves topical application of the liquid to the affected area, purported to reduce itching and inflammation. The efficacy of this approach remains a subject of discussion within both traditional and evidence-based medical communities.
Throughout history, natural substances have been explored for their potential therapeutic properties. The application of acidic compounds, like those found in the described substance, has been hypothesized to neutralize insect venom or reduce swelling. The accessibility and perceived safety of household items contribute to the persistence of such practices, despite the lack of conclusive scientific validation. The popularity stems from easily accessible information, such as articles and word-of-mouth recommendations passed down from generations.
