My last post was about aspirin and the fascinating news that it might prevent cancer. But did you know that this amazing little pill has many other uses?
It can revive a dead car battery. Two aspirins dropped into a car battery that has gone dead will cause a chemical reaction that will charge the battery. It will only last for one more run, enough to get you to a service station.
For your garden, dissolve an aspirin in a quart of water to treat fungus in the soil. Or make a rooting hormone by dissolving an aspirin in a cup of water. Then dip a cutting into the cup of water.
The next time you get a mosquito bite wet the skin and rub an aspirin on it. The same goes for bee stings.
Out of dandruff shampoo? Try crushing two aspirins into a fine powder and add to the shampoo you poured into your hand. Shampoo and leave in for a couple minutes.
What about skin exfoliate? Just add crushed aspirin to enough water to make a paste. The skin exfoliates we buy in the store have aspirin in them.
With all these uses for aspirin, it going to be a lot of fun to try them out. My first experiment is going to be with the rooting hormone. I should know about that one in a few days.
