Aspirin For Pain
Aspirin For Stain Removal

It's amazing to me how many simple everyday things there are out there that we assume has one purpose and one purpose only. We don't get told really about all of the mighty things these items can do for us in other ways around the house.

Going out and spending money on a needless expensive cleaner, or throwing something away because we just assume it's of no further use is what many of us do.

It's really quite remarkable what a tiny little aspirin is really capable of and the power it has, medically speaking or otherwise.

This simple generic drug, which is made by a number of companies is a staple in most homes for mostly quick relief of the pounding headache.

It's looked to as well for reducing fever, and general relieving of overall aches and pains.

There is definately another benefit medically speaking.

Rubbing an aspirin over an inflamed area from stings or insect bites will ease itchiness and work to reduce the swelling as well.


Blemishes and pimples can dry up from salicylic acid. Make a paste, and apply. This is similar to applying a drop of perfume on a blemish as well.


Hard callused feet? That's an uncomfortable feeling.

Mix up a thick paste of 6 aspirins, a tiny bit of lemon juice and water, and spread well over the callus.

Make sure to wrap your foot in a towel, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse, and using a pumice stone, the callus should be much easier to remove as it should have softened quite a bit afterwards.

Aspirin-pain-reliever and health-related problems are not your only options though for aspirin-uses. There are some other amazing properties of aspirin that are a bit of a mystery.

Asprin-Uses For Car Troubles

Did you know that the combination of acetylsalicylic acid and the sulphuric acid of a battery can produce a charge? So they say. I've never had to resort to this myself.

But, if your car won't start, and it seems your battery is dead, give this a try. Put two aspirins in the battery and see what happens. Proceed to the nearest garage though, as this does not mean your battery is now good again or the problem is solved.

Aspirin-Uses For The Garden Fungus
