http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirin

Aspirin is the generic term in several countries for acetylsalicylic acid that does a number of things for and against the human body. Originally, Aspirin was used by old timey recipies to reduce headaches and lessen body aches by boiling the bark of a willow tree (ie. the willow tea remedy). However useful that aspect might be, modern science and technologies have assisted many others to reduce the willow bark to its base molecules therefore helping to make it even more potent.

This Aspirin supresses certain hormones that regulate pain information and also blood platlets in a long drawn out complicated manner of supressing an enzyme that does something in the big hoo hah production of the hormone that helps the brain register ailments. It is this supression of blood platelets that gives Aspirin its bloodthinning qualities.

Since Aspirin thins red blood cells, for better flow, and supresses pain information regulation, how does this help the body heal quicker, you ask? Well, Aspirin also does a little dance that instigates white blood cells to come out and play more regularly. Und Voila! We have happy Aspirin explaination. Okay so that was really layman in terms of typing, but I'm sure you can do your own further research to discover more about Aspirin.

Also, to CYA myself, I need to point out that aspirin is not a cureall for anything and everything. Complications can arise by taking Aspirin in conjunction with other drugs, medical conditions, and just in over doseage. Always contact your physician and be smart about it all when introducing a foreign substance into your body.

It stops enzymes called COX1 and COX2. This means thinner blood, and less clotting. But it also widens your blood vessels, so that there's a better flow of cells fighting for your body. And it triggers a release of gastic acid in the stomach, so it is always recommended to have it with plenty of water, or esp. with food, so that your stomach will be somewhat coated.
