That's what you use the slivers for, you know, those that are too little
to actually use but they clog the drain if you slip. Frugal people
collect them to cook down.
Here's (link below) where I first read about it. Dr Gott is syndicated
in lots of the USA. He's popularized using Vicks Salve for toenail
fungus as well as the soap slivers under sheets. He pretends to be
openminded about alt modalities but not much.
When placebo effect works is it still a placebo?

couldn't quickly find a site that archived all of Gott's columns but
they're all over the net.

Even harder to understand is how one could put a bar of soap under the
sheet, and the person not notice it when sleeping on it.

“My husband was having severe leg cramps at night. Without telling
him, I placed a soap bar under his sheets for two nights before he
noticed. It worked! He’s had no more cramps. We still can't believe
it! “
“I have had severe leg cramps for years. When I read about putting a
bar of soap in bed, I got a bar of Ivory and put it under the bottom
sheet near my legs. It’s been a month since I did that, and I have
not had one leg cramp.
