Saw this by chance on the net and then chatting to someone on MSN and they said their grand mother does it too.
For: Leg cramps and Restless Legs syndrome
Unwrap a new regular size bar of soap, any brand, and place it between the two sheets on your side of the bed. The soap should be placed not far from the foot of the bed and on whichever side wanting it from your feet. You will never realize it is in the bed as you are not going to have it this close to your body. When making the bed up, always make sure the soap is on the flat area, on your side and hasn't fell over the end of the mattress where the top sheet is tucked under. Time to remove the old bar and replace with another new bar when having the first sign of any leg/toe cramping.

> Thank you for the info on the site and for telling me about the soap. I just can't believe how well it works, it's amazing. I often had problems with restless legs and it used to irritate the hell out of me. Since I put the soap under my sheet they haven't bothered me at all.

I don't actually know what restless legs is - what is it?
Its prescribed by gp's although its found naturally, in food(or is it water?)
Isn't quinine what's found in tonic water? used to be used against malaria?
and yes to malaria
In Indian Tonic Water - but the quantity in modern drinks is tiny now - during the days of the Raj was a lot more in there to protect soldiers, etc from Malaria.
