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.

Thank you for the tip and links, LOL, I have also emailed it to me at Yahoo, will have to check it out later.
Interesting how some of these work, reminds me a little of the old uses of sliced onions and potatoes, in the sock to take down fevers.
Someday, someone will find the science that is involved in the treatment..........but for now, someones granny will pass it on.
Thanks for sharing.
