How does Advil, aspirin, etc, treat different aches like headaches, backaches, sore feet, etc? I know most of them have caffeine to speed up blood flow, but how does it seem to cure everything?
In: Chemistry
Aspirin and the related compound ibuprophen which makes up Advil both reduce inflammation. That is a general bodily response to injuries and overuse so it helps anywhere that the body tissues are stressed.
