There are many, many remedies to various health and physical issues that modern medicine cannot explain, but that do in fact give on-going relief to problems and that the medical community recognizes and even sometimes suggests. The bar of soap for restless leg syndrome is one of them, used by many people with good effect, your disparaging and condescending comment aside.
With all due respect, I don't get it??? You were the one who suggested the soap, then you posted a negative response to another about it???
