Restless Legs? Leg Cramps?
We've heard countless stories of soap placed under bed sheets and in socks
offering relief for Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and Leg Cramps. But most
household soaps are awkward, bulky and uncomfortable. So, we decided to develop
two different sizes of soap especially for sufferers of RLS and leg cramps.
When the FDA banned quinine for leg cramps it took away the only tool doctors
had to treat this common and painful problem. People can still drink tonic
water, but it takes a lot to provide the same amount of quinine a doctor woulud
have prescribed.
With no sanctioned medical treatments, people are turning to home remedies. A
bar of soap is one of the most ingenious we have ever heard of. There's no
science to support this home remedy, but so many people tell us it has changed
their lives that we think this is pretty cool.
