Put a Bar of Soap Under a Bed Sheet to Reduce Leg Pain
Did you know that putting a bar of soap
under a bed sheet can actually treat two different medical conditions? I
was as surprised as you are to hear that this is possible.
It is classified as a sleep disorder due to
its interference with normal sleep. There is no known root cause,
however kidney failure, diabetes, pregnancy and alcohol consumption are
thought to trigger it.
Some 42% of people who suffer from this
condition or nightly leg cramps reported that putting soap under their
sheet before going to bed at night can actually make their ailment
better. The reason for this is believed to be the magnesium content in
soap.
For the best effect, using lavender soap is
recommended. This is because lavender has a soothing effect and can
help the body to relax. If lavender isn’t available, it’s essential to
ensure that the soap is a natural one that contains an essential
oil-based scent. What a neat trick!
