Restless Legs Home Remedies
Here are some restless legs home remedies OTHER than the mystically famous soap for leg cramps remedy, which you can find here.
After trying the soap remedy for restless legs you may not want to try any of these natural RLS remedies, but we will list them just the same.
My sweetheart is an unfortunate sufferer of RSL, and he thinks the soap trick is an old wives fable. ☺ Most of the restless legs remedies we have heard of or come across, involve taking some kind of vitamin or supplement which can usually be found in your local health food store. OTHER than the soap remedy, of course!
Psst... dont' tell my hubby.... but I am testing the soap for RLS on him right now... There is NO way he would admit that it helped if he knew so it may take a few weeks of testing...☺UPDATE:... the bar of soap fell on the floor one evening and my hubby looked at me, asking suspiciously.." Can you please tell me what a bar of SOAP is doing in our bed??"...so I explained and he can't deny that his legs are better but refuses to admit the soap had anything to do with it. lol... so we are in it for the long haul. As long as he doesn't thrash around with RSL, I don't care WHAT he thinks about the soap in the bed thing!
Try Some of These Basic RSL Home Remedies 
- Sulfer... one gal said she found sulfer in Colloida Life - Trace Minerals at her health food store.
Take about 1/2 tsp at night just before you go to bed. Let the oil dissolve under your tongue for best results.
- Don't drink and carb!... Eating more carbs and drinking alcohol just before bedtime seems to make RSL symptoms worse.
So watch those late night snacks!
- Magnesium.. taking about 400 mg Magnesium just before bedtime will help reduce restless leg syndrome.
- Stretching... stre-e-e-etch those calves.
Place your hands on the counter and keeping your back straight, step back about 4 feet and with your foot planted firm on the floor, lean forward on the counter... stretching those calf muscles is one of the best restless legs home remedies.
Or lean against a tree if you happen to be outside.
To stretch your calf muscles in bed ... lie on your back and keeping your legs flat on the bed, pull your toes toward you. You will feel those calf muscles stretch as you do so!
Hold the stretch for a bit and then totally relax your toes and legs. Repeat.
- Relaxing with Epsom Salts.. being able to relax seems to help cure restless legs syndrome so take a hot bath with Epsom Salts just before you go to bed to relax your body.
You may fall asleep before the RSL ever wakes up to disturb you! ☺
- Mustard...If you can stomach this home remedy for RSL... Take a tsp of yellow mustard just before going to bed... one guy swore it helped him!
- Peppermint Oil... rub into your legs and shoulders rubbing the oil into your shoulders helps relax your body just before you go to bed.
You should sleep like a baby, not to mention that you will likely smell lovely!
- Change Your Mattress... if you sleep on a mattress with metal coils, you may want to change to a 'metal-free mattress'
- Chiropractor... quite a few folks have gotten relief by getting a simple back adjustment.
If you have pain in your legs, it could likely be a nerve problem and an adjustment could very well be your answer.
