I know this is going to sound illogical, but its an old family remedy for leg pain and restless legs, poor blood circulation in the legs etc.

I don't know why it works, I didn't believe it when it was told to me. In fact I laughed.

Sleep with a bar of Ivory soap.

I am sleeping with two bars of ivory soap tonight because my legs are hurting. I put one under each knee.

I also took a hot bath using Ivory soap. It is the only soap that floats.

Try it if you have leg pain, see if it works for you.

Huh. That's weird. Is there someone who can confirm this works when you are asleep? I use Vitamins B-complex is good for the nerves.

Old wives tales are hard to refute but there's no proof to them ..


excepting the person using it swears by it ..

so as my professor used to say:

"A man with an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument"

That is what I take too.


I just went to a neurologists and had some tests done too. They stuck me with all these needles, and like little electrical volts going into me when they touched my skin with the needles. I had black marks on me for about 2 days. My arms and legs have sharp pains in them sometimes, and they fall asleep alot too.

Also, try to cut back on the caffeine...I had that problem for along time....I went without coffe, soda, etc for about 2 weeks to a month...it cleared right up...

Also the B-complex suggestion works as well!

I have been told this, and have tried over and over. This is so hard for me to do, especially when I wake up and want my StarBucks and cigarette first thing in the morning, but I do know this is something I need to do.

Wow, let me know if the Ivory soap trick works!

The only reason I posted it is because it does seem to work. I did not believe it either until I tried it.

Thanks for the vitamin B tip. I'll try that too.

In 1999 my orthopedic surgeon, told me to drink quinine water, I was so stupid, I ask what in the world was Quinine water? He said.. have you heard of Gin and Tonic... I said yes, he said the gin was optional...LOL. Cant remember why it works but it did...

You mean the soap works.

Last night I slept with two bars of ivory soap and I slept well. I have been having a lot of bad pain in my legs lately. Today I took vitamin B and C and some garlic.

My best friend of many years tried this. And I thought it sounded off the wall. But it really does. He did the med's and other treatments, The meds only worked for a few days.
The Ivory soap treatment has kept them legs under control. Some days it just don't, But it mostly has helped him a lot.

My friend's mother told me about this. Unfortunately it didn't work for me, but I have heard lots of people say it works for them. I have very bad RLS and so does my Mother and my sister. My doctor has put on medication and if I miss one night I have a horrible night's sleep.
