12 Surprising Ways To Use Aspirin

  • 7. Callus softener.

    Grind five or six aspirins into a powder and mix well with a half teaspoon each of lemon juice and water. Apply the paste to the callus, wrap your foot in a warm towel and then cover it with a plastic bag. Sit down and let the treatment work for at least 10 minutes before removing the bag and the towel and then filing down the softened callus with a pumice stone. Rinse the area well with warm water.

    8. Dandruff control.

    Crush two aspirin tablets into a fine powder and then add it to the amount of shampoo you use to wash your hair. Leave the mixture on your hair for about two minutes before rinsing well and repeating the process with plain shampoo.

    9. Insect bite aid.

    You can ease the pain of an insect bite or sting by wetting the skin and then rubbing an aspirin tablet over the affected spot.

    10. Cut flower preserver.

    Help keep your cut flowers looking fresher longer by placing a crushed aspirin in the vase water before adding your stems. Change the vase water every few days for continued effect.

    11. Skin stain remover.

    Clean stains on your skin from nicotine or from grass by applying an aspirin paste to the discolored area. Let it sit for about 15 minutes before wiping it away and then washing the area with warm water.

    12. Rust spot remover.

    Wipe away small rust stains left behind by razors or shaving cream cans by applying a few crushed aspirin tablets onto a dampened surface and then letting the aspirin sit for about 10 minutes. Wipe clean.

      I mix a small bottle of wintergreen essential oil into a bottle of alcohol and 21 aspirins. It makes a wonderful rub for muscle pain. Be forewarned, it gets warm, but gives great relief to muscle pain.
