How A Bar Of Soap Under Your Sheets May Improve Your Health

Always consult with your healthcare provider on treatment for medical issues.

3 Ways A Bar Of Soap Can Help You Sleep Better At Night
For many, a scented bar of bath soap has offered relief from the discomfort of leg pain at night. There are three reasons to support why a bar of soap works:

1. Essential oils in the soap have an aromatherapy effect, affecting relaxation in the body.

2. Magnesium sulfate in the bar of soap might address deficiencies in our bodies.

3. Placebo effect: we believe it will work, so it does.

At-home remedies are sometimes the best cures; we can all vouch for grandma’s chicken noodle soup or bone broth as cold or flu treatment, for example. Real pain should be addressed by a medical professional, so be sure to consult with your healthcare provider before independently treating a significant medical issue. But if you’re looking for an alternative to medication, a lavender or other essential oil-scented bar of soap may be a simple and cost-effective solution to your nagging nighttime leg pain.
