Question regarding folk medicine?

I work in a seniors home and noticed that several of the Seniors put a bar or two of soap in their beds - they claim that it helps their arthritis by bringing down the swelling!

I have never heard of this one before - but I think it might be all in their heads! Have you ever heard of such a cure for arthritis? Another lady swears that putting a potato in her bed does the same thing?
Please explain, if you can explain or any other weird folk home remedy cures?
