Do you suffer from lower back pain that keeps you up at night? If so, there's a cheap and easy home remedy that you can try.

Please don't think this is silly, I've decided to share a little folk cure with you.

Many back pain suffers claim to get relief by doing nothing more than sticking any old bar of soap underneath their fitted sheets at night before going to bed, just don't roll over on it, the lump may wake you up.

Someone wrote that they replace the bar every couple of months. The soap is supposed to help with restless legs, back pain, and leg cramps. People have said that pain in their back and hips has disappeared, along with their leg cramps.

If you are suffering from any kind of back, leg, or hip cramps or pain in bed, give it a try, what possible harm could a little soap do?

Pace the unwrapped bar under the fitted sheet to keep it from moving around. Most leg aches can be associated with dehydration and depletion of potassium. Most bar soaps contain sodium chloride, which helps with leg cramps. During sleep, it is absorbed thru the skin from the soap.

Just put it under the the bottom sheet near the place where you experience pain or cramps.
