Secret Soap Trick Goes Viral!
We often hear about natural remedies that offer an alternative to expensive medications that can be hard on your body in the long run.
If these remedies work, they are the perfect alternative and I am all for trying them. That’s why I had to share the latest trick of placing a bar of soap under your sheets for a common health issue that affects one in ten Americans. It may sound a bit strange, but many people swear by it.
It has been praised as something that works for many patients with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), the condition of a part of the nervous system that controls the urge to move our legs. It causes uncomfortable sensations in your legs that usually affect people’s sleep.
It can be a sign of an underlying disease such as Parkinson’s disease, kidney failure, and diabetes, which often include symptoms of RLS, and treating these conditions can provide relief from RLS. Some medications can also worsen symptoms, and even during pregnancy, some women may develop RLS symptoms.
Dr. Oz discussed the natural remedy on his show and suggested that soap with certain oils was the best choice, especially lavender soap, which helps relax your body while trying to sleep.
There is no medical evidence that this actually works, but there is a suggestion that RLS symptoms may be caused by dehydration and low potassium levels. Most soap bars contain sodium chloride and during sleep, that can be absorbed through the skin via the soap.
Although it may sound unbelievable, there are people who have tried it and praise its effectiveness.
“My mother used soap for pain relief and also for leg cramps,” says a post on Steady Health. “I thought she might be fooling herself. Now I have several soaps in bed with me every night and place them all over. It works for me and my husband, and we use every kind of soap as well. It doesn’t take away the reason for the pain, but it does allow me to fall asleep when pain is interfering. It’s worth a try!”
