I would be grateful if you would publish this remedy on your website. See linked below a very informative article written by 'Goldy'. Potatoes contain Kynurenic acid which dampens down certain neurotransmitters in the brain connected with restless legs. Kynurenic acid is also found in high amounts in chestnut honey. I personally endorse potatoes as a cure. After following advice on YouTube to eat a low carb diet and nothing working, I cooked a dinner with roasted potatoes including the skins, sprinkled in rosemary and turmeric and coated in olive oil. The difference is fairly miraculous. For the first time in months I have slept soundly through the night.

Soap is a living organism. Constantly "breathing", aging, regenerating, disintegrating and rearranging itself, becoming and unbecoming a huge variety of other "things". Other compounds. And it never stops. It may rest in the absence of other things with which to interact chemically but it doesn't "die". It simply waits. Plus it has other variables like temperature and humidity with which it can play and interact, while it's waiting.
Not all phases are pleasant but they ARE all soap. It doesn't stop being soap just because it changes to a form you don't like. It might become a soap you don't want or understand how it could be USED - given man's lack of interest in it - but it will still be soap.

I definitely recommend trying this. I mean, what do you have to lose? I still can't believe it myself but it actually worked for me. I don't know how and though I'm curious I really don't care. All I know is I am able to finally sleep and am so very grateful to this wonderful website and all of the gracious people who care enough to share their experiences.

I make the oil myself with any matter of carrier oil (olive, etc) some drops of peppermint, wintergreen and birch as they contain natural salicate acid similar to aspirin to neutralize pain. I also add some drops of frankencense to bring on relaxation and alleviate anxiety.

One hour ago I mixed the baking soda with water and although the taste was unpleasant I have to say my left leg which was driving me crazy has completely calmed down within approximately 15 minutes. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences. I am hoping this provides the help I need. God knows we need an answer.

I had RLS for over 40 years and this is what I have concluded:
I have concluded most RLS is related to arthritis.
Arthritis is a systemic infection.
The first remedy that worked to mitigate it was MAGNESIUM.
After that stopped working, ANTIOXIDANTS worked a little.
This meant the infection was getting worse.
I developed RA over 10 years ago. I cured it in one month with BORAX.
I developed osteoarthritis. I had to resort to MINOCYCLINE.
I use bromelain to address any biofilm and resistance issues.
It was only after using the minocycline antibiotic that I noticed the connection.
If you don't have arthritis now, you will likely develop it as you age.
I would try an ionic boron solution to see if that helps you.
or minocycline (you need a quality one).
Hope this helps someone.

I was searching around 2 or 4 am for something to help me.. the sensations were in my legs and my hands. I realized it was intense probably because I ate a bunch of brown sugar syrup earlier [craving] So won't do that again. Grabbed a bit of cashew as I was hungry...and grabbed a bar of soap. Incredible that it worked!! I noticed some on the thread put this to "placebo" affect which I find ridiculous. My whole body was going nuts and this put an end to it immediately. Had no idea if this would work or not but pretty grateful I have a go to now. Thanks Bar Soap!! [ It was just some bulk bar I get from the bulk store..maybe primrose or something which probably makes no difference at all.]

I mix 1 tablespoon of Standard Process calcium lactate powder in my evening kefir drink. Standard Process also carries it in tablet form in which you would take six per day. It is my understanding that calcium lactate is the most absorbable form of calcium and I would only recommend taking this form from Standard Process.
I also take Dr. Berg's electrolyte powder and extra magnesium. I also used to get severe toe and foot cramps. With taking these supplements, all cramps are gone too.

The bar of soap is a total myth and ACV is not that great for you as many people seem to think. Very acidic. I think it can burn away tissues in your throat and stomach. Anyway, my rls comes and goes and lately it has been so bad that I feel it in my arms down to my fingers and my legs down to my toes. Walking helps, but it just comes back. I’m going to try the tonic water too.

Somebody told me to drink 16 oz. of water before going to bed, especially if you have been drinking alcohol prior to sleep. Hydration seems to help tremendously.
I also take a gulp of ACV every night before bed. Exercise is key, ACV is good for so many things, including this, and stay hydrated. Haven’t tried the soap, but haven’t really had RLS since staying committed to hydration and taking my ACV each night before bed. I also swig a little in the morning. Don’t forget to gargle with some hydrogen peroxide now and then:). It’s very good for you!
