I was getting a pedicure at Polished Salon in Kennett this afternoon and chatting with the pleasant woman next to me, Jean, and the two nail techs. Jean commented how good it felt to get her calves massaged and added that she suffers from horrible charley horses at night. Immediately Angela, the young woman working on my feet, suggested she put a bar of Ivory soap at the foot of her bed. Angela said it cured her awful leg cramps like a charm.
I can't imagine how it works, but I looked it up on the myth-busting website, Snopes, and the worst it had to say was that the efficacy was "undetermined."
"Skepticism aside," said Snopes, "this bit of folk wisdom is clearly worth a try."
