It even sounds strange. But it turns out that many people do this.
At our home, my mother always shifted the linen in the closet with bars of fragrant toilet soap – so that it smelled good and did not suffocate. Yes, and it is pleasant to go to a fragrant bed. In addition, there is a benefit in this: soap drives away harmful insects, preventing ants, bed bugs, and bed mites from settling in the closet. But putting soap in bed? What for?
It turns out that this simple action has a very pleasant side effect – soap under the sheet helps to get rid of night cramps. Those who are familiar with these sensations, when in the middle of the night the muscle on the leg is cramping from pain, will understand: you have to jump out of bed, get up on the cold floor, knead a crooked foot. It can be very difficult to fall asleep after that. Therefore, it is no wonder that they are trying to get rid of cramps by all means, and soap in bed no longer seems strange.
However, doctors say that even if this method helps to get rid of night cramps, it is worth fighting them differently, systemically: add foods rich in potassium and magnesium to the diet and establish a drinking regimen.
What do you need to do with soap?
· Choose a soap with your favorite scent, unpack.
· Place under the sheet in the corner of the bed.
Thinly cut the top layer of the bar three times a week to freshen the scent.
“I’ve heard about such a strange way to get rid of seizures. But it cannot be explained scientifically. Here, most likely, psychological factors are at work. Perhaps a person enjoys a favorite soap smell while sleeping. This relaxes his nervous system and the body as a whole. Therefore, muscle spasm does not occur. Only the block should not be placed at the head of the bed so that allergies do not start. There is also a share of the placebo effect (improvement of well-being due to belief in the effectiveness of treatment. – Note. Ed.). A person, lying in bed with soap, believes in its saving effect. If this method works, why not use it. The main thing is to help! “
