Aspirin, when used as directed, provides
fast and proven pain relief for injuries, such as muscle
strains, headaches, arthritis and other ailments.
Aspirin provides the temporary relief
of pain by blocking the body's production of prostaglandins,
hormone-linke substances that are the building blocks
of pain. Aspirin also provides relief from the inflammation
that may accompany injuries, arthritis and many other
ailments.
It is estimated that more than 90%
of people have at least one headache a year and almost
50 million people suffer from chronic or repeated headaches.
Of the many types of headaches (from mild headaches
to severe and debilitating migraines), the most common
form is known as the tension-type headache, caused by
stress.
Tension-type headaches are often characterized
by tightening of muscles in the base of the neck and
along the scalp. This tightening of muscles is part
of the body's normal response to stress. Yet the body's
natural response to stress often leads to a state of
head pain that can last for many hours.
Aspirin provides headache relief by
reducing inflammation and blocking the production of
prostaglandins which eliminates the painful effects
of tension-type headaches.
