2. A bar of regular soap (not deoderant) placed under the sheets at the foot of the bed of someone who has leg pain, will relieve the leg pain (even if they don’t know the soap is there).<<<
I had not heard this one, do you know why it works or is it a faith healer?
It sure can’t hurt to try it, which I will.
I agree, and haven’t used new soap in years, when it comes in the house, it gets unwrapped and goes in a basket, some of it will smell good as it drys out.
There was a time that I kept it all in my dresser drawers, so they would smell good.
All of your tips are welcome here, thanks a million for the above.
I found it in Dear Dr. Gott’s column, and thought, well it can’t hurt to try it for my hubby’s leg pain. To avoid the “placebo effect”, I didn’t tell him it was there. He had REALLY good relief and I have no idea why. Here is a link that (down below) has some reader’s comments on this “home remedy”. http://www.natural-homeremedies.com/homeremedies_legpain.htm
Nobody seems to know why it works. Some say to not use Dove or Dial. I used a bar of Ivory soap for my hubby.
