I was wondering what the uses of Athelas are.... I know Aragorn uses it to heal Frodo, Eowyn, Merry..... but I wanted to know what sort of stuff it can heal.

First of all I think it can be used to bring pain relief to things like a headache or light wounds. Then I believe Athelas can also be mixed to make medicine to cure diseases or relieve heavier wounds.
And then I like to think that the power of Athelas would be stronger if a healer uses it. As when Aragorn heals the people in the Houses of Healing, the reason for their healing might as well be because of his 'healing hands'.

Also, in the books it mentions that everyone who smells it when Aragorn puts it in water felt their minds clear.

Well... a little cut and paste from the wonders of Google about the wonders of Aloe Vera:
There are about 300 species of Aloe vera. However the most important one is Aloe Barbadensis Miller. It is found to be full of 200 components and 74 known nutrients. This includes some of B vitamins like B12 and most of amino acids, iron, manganese, calcium, Zinc mineral, enzymes etc. According to reports Aloe vera is found to have various medical and cosmetic properties. Today lot of Aloe vera products are available in market like aloe vera health drinks, moisturizers, cleansers, wound healing creams etc.
Aloe vera is also known to have certain medical properties. Aloe vera drink is used as tonic for patient suffering from arthritis, diabetes and high cholesterol. This is because of the dietary supplement properties, which help in healing like anti fungal, anti oxidant, anti bacterial and some other properties. It is found to boost the immune system.
(From http://ezinearticles.com/?Aloe-Vera---A-Wonder-Plant&id=78298)
And etc... etc...
I could easily imagine Athelas having the same effects!
