When I am shopping at the pharmacy and I grab a bottle of aspirin, I am usually thinking about headaches … not about getting my car started or treating a bug bite.
But then I watched this video, and it totally changed the way I look at aspirin! Aspirin is way more than a pain remedy:
In this video, you will learn how you can use aspirin to:
Start your car when you are having battery problems
Make flowers last longer in a vase of water
Treat the inflammation from a bug bite
Fight acne (this works for much the same reason that aspirin works treating bug bites)
Get stains out of clothing
Restore color-treated hair after swimming in a chlorinated pool
Bonus trick - learn how to make an aspirin mask here https://www.diyncrafts.com/1319/health/awesome-aspirin-mask-will-reduce-puffiness-and-give-you-clearer-skin.
How awesome is that? Without this video, I never would have considered putting aspirin in my hair! Now you may want to double up the next time you pick up aspirin from the store. You could go through these bottles fast!
