I found a product called Leg-Gesic for leg cramps from the internet, and it works great! Cramps went away in about 30 minutes and I could sleep. Thought others might be interested
Turmeric should be heated in a little water to make a thick paste and applied over swelling of any kind.After applying the paste the swollen area should be bandages with clean cotton cloth.This will give immediate relief from pain and swelling will be cured completely in 3 or 4 applications.
I finally found something that works. A high mineral liquid supplement called Leg-Gesic. It cured my leg cramps for only a few bucks a month. If you hurt at night it is worth a shot...beth
About forty years ago I was advised by a doctor to get Quinine tablets and cut them into four quarters, and anytime I got a cramp, just swallow a quarter of the tablet. It works every time. I carry the tablets in a small container, and they are with me wherever I go. I find that I get leg cramps when I drive, so when I feel a cramp coming on, I stop at a restaurant, or gas station, and take the tablet with some water, and the cramp quickly disappears.
Rub wet white soap on restless legs or cramp, it works every time. If you want to you can just put a bar of soap in your bed it will still work.
I get Charley Horses in the night; I use to run outside on the cement and stand to find relief. But when we remodeled the house I put marble floor in my bathroom. I just jump up and stand on the cold marble floor and the cramp goes away instantly.
This remedy came from England & has been used since the battle of hastings, i.e 1066 put a bar of soap in the bed before going to sleep. This will stop leg cramps.
If I remember to drink a mug of rooibos tea before retiring, I don't get cramps. Never saw this described anywhere but read somewhere that rooibos was rich in vitamins and trace minerals, so I tried it. I'm pretty sure different people have different causes for their cramps, so this may not work for everyone. I'd like to hear back if it works for you.
