Lavender oil and clary sage are great for cramps. Its very soothing both physically and mentally.

My late husband suffered terribly from leg cramps. A holistic daughter suggested that he drink tonic water. It seems that the quinine in the tonic water is what relieves the cramps. My husband drank a quart a day - it worked beautifully.

Flexing the foot on the leg that is cramped will pump the blood to the area and relieve the cramping. Daily vitamins are also a very good idea.

Soaking in vingar (1 cup) in the bathtub seemed to help my cramping… it is an old wives tale my grandmother told me… and it seems to work

Flex the foot of the cramped leg up and down as far as possible. This will pump blood into the cramped area.

I have always been told that when having leg cramps, a helpful remedy is to eat a banana. Supposedly, the potassium in the banana is helpful. It works for me! And bananas are yummy!

I had really bad leg cramps while I was pregnant. I was told to eat a banana a day to keep them away. It worked. You can cut it up and put it over cereal. delicious

Obviously proper nutrition and exercise is good for your body, but until I began to experience leg cramps I wasnt much of a ‘health nut.’ However, just adding walking and stretching and a multivitamin to my daily grind, I have found atleast a 90% relief from the cramps!

I had muscle spasms in my legs several months ago. They wouldn’t happen every single night, but about 4 nights a week. If you’ve ever had them you know how painful they can be, especially when you are trying to relax and get to sleep. I mentioned it one day to my neighbor who had the same problem and was told to take 2 vitamins to help these leg cramps.

Calcium and Magnesium are both found in leafy green vegetables. Calcium is found in sardines, and orange juice, along with dairy products. Magnesium can be gotten from eating beans, seeds and nuts. If you don’t get enough of these vitamins, your legs can cramp.

Quinine, found in tonic water, relaxes muscles. So try this as well, or you can get a prescription from your doctor.

I found that I need to care for my legs during sleep hours just as much as I do for wake hours. I purchased a memory foam pillow and sleep with it under my legs. I notice that when I use the pillow my legs arent so cramped in the morning. It’s good to have some relief.
