Good Night Sleep Sachet

Description

"Put a bar of soap under your sheets if you suffer from leg cramps at night."

Sounds like a kidding joke, right?

I had been dealing with painful, painful, leg cramps at night. Those of you how know what I mean, know what I mean!

I would wake up with a severe cramp, reach for the MSM cream and rub it on. Within seconds the pain would go away. Praise God!

But a few hours later I would get another one. This pattern would repeat itself over and over during the night.

One morning last week I went to the internet to find out how to prevent leg cramps at night. A story popped up about a lady whose grandmother told her to put a bar of soap under her sheets to cure the leg cramps she was having while she was pregnant. Old wives' tale? Probably, but I couldn't resist reading the article.

Turns out there are hundreds of stories, dozens of articles about putting soap under your sheets to stop night time leg cramps and restless leg!

After reading several articles, I thought: Sure can't hurt. I am going to try it.

I put a bar of our lavender soap under the bottom sheet of our bed. I have slept with it there every night since, and guess what? No leg cramps! The first night I started to get a tightness once or twice, but the cramp did not start. Amazing.

People say that some big names brands of "soap" do not work. I suspect those brands are not real "soap" but a combination of stuff that acts sort of like soap. Real soap is made the way we make it--with liquid (in our case goat milk), oils that are healthy for your skin, and a catalyst that causes the mixture to sopanify.

I learned to make real soap right after we got our first goats in 1999. Goat milk soap is fantastic for your skin, and your hair. In all these years I had no idea it could give people a good night's sleep, too.

Why? I can't say. Some of the articles I read say that there might be ions released by soap that calm the nerves. Maybe. I have studied applied kinesiology long enough, and used it enough, not to discount that idea.

Here's the deal. Try it! Then let me know if it works for you.

Update on Bar Soap for Leg Cramps

October 2020 Update on Bar Soap for Leg Cramps and Restless Leg

It turns out there is much evidence out there that bar soap works to stop or eliminate nocturnal leg cramps. I have done some internet research and found several theories about why it works. If you are interested hit this search: Why Does Bar Soap Stop Leg Cramps There are many, many articles to verify the experience.

Here is one of the letters I received about it:

Dear Grace,

I'm writing to you in regards to the soap and leg cramps email. I read the information and thought it was interesting. During the weeks after reading the article, I experienced my usual intense legs cramps and the restless legs. It has been happening about a couple times a week. The cramps usually happen in the middle of the night or early morning hours. They are so bad it requires me to get up and put pressure on my feet. I usually have to walk around for awhile before I can get back into bed. The restless legs happen just as I am dozing off which keeps me awake longer.

In the middle of July, it was time to put in my order for my Grace Harbor products. I decided to include a bar of the unscented goats milk soap with the order.

About the third night after placing the bar under the sheet, my right leg started to tighten. As I started to realize a cramp was coming on, it disappeared. About two days later, my toes started to cramp up. It lasted about a few seconds and it was gone. I mean just a few seconds. It has been amazing experience not having the restless legs, my legs and toes cramping on me.

My legs feel relaxed and free of tension since I placed the bar of goat's milk under the sheet towards the middle of the bed by my calf. The other interesting item is since the bar was placed under the sheet. My two cats have been competing for the foot of the bed next to soap bar.

I am a believer and thank you! I have passed the information on to others. I am also in the process of buying additional goat milk bars from Grace Harbor.

God Bless!

Sincerely,

D.E.

Lavender sachet

We originally bought three and quickly realized that we wanted more. We start to get leg cramps and start searching thru the bed for the sachet. Definitely recommend getting them and don’t just get one.

Good Night Sleep Sachet

Posted by Bonnie Holloman on 13th Jul 2021

I love the sleep sachet , it works like magic.
However, with the cost and shipping / it’s just too expensive. I had ordered one to try with some other items and loved it so much that I decided to get one for a friend.
I felt the cost was high but worth it but then with shipping it was way too much. I tell my friends about it but warn them of the total cost. I won’t be able to get anymore because of the cost.

Grace responds: Remember that we pay the shipping when your order is $50 or more, so you can combine the Sleep Sachet with other things and there will be no shipping charge!

My 102-year-old dad asked me to order the Sleep Sachet for him. He has not had any leg cramps at night since he started using this.

Good Night Sleep Sachet

I have been using the Lavender "Good Night Sleep Sachet"
for over a month. It seems that I have been sleeping much better than usual. Prior to that I was using the Lavender soap bar under my sheet and I think that may have given some relief. I gave a sachet to my daughter and she also likes it. Also a few other family members.
I have ordered a few more to use as "Thank You" gifts and also Christmas gifts. Both my daughter and I are tempted to order more but they are a bit "pricey." Perhaps we should just order the Lavender soap instead but I don't think it would serve the same purpose as the attractive cloth sachet sack.
My daughter lives north of Bellingham and is the one who introduced me to your products several years ago.

It works!

Posted by Judy Keiper on 15th Oct 2020

I was a little dubious, but without any doubts now, when I get the terrible muscle cramps in my legs and feet and put that packet on the area, the pain is relieved almost immediately.

I was woken up at about 3 am with severe cramping in my calves and feet. I immediately grabbed my Sachet and put it between my feet and the cramps eased and went away almost immediately! It is an amazing product that truly works! Thank you!
