Leg Cramps Home Remedies:
You can try to remedy for leg cramps that occur while you are in bed or while you are exercising with a few remedies that involve stretching, pulling, and massaging the cramped muscle in your leg. Here are some home remedy suggestions you might want to try:
- When you feel your leg cramping up, try to stretch your legs the farthest you can manage with the existing pain. Doing this when you get nocturnal leg cramps can help release the cramped muscles from their bended position and restore the normal flow of blood in your legs.
- When you are standing up and you suddenly feel muscle cramps crawling up your leg, try to flex your toes upward while your heels are firmly on the floor and your legs are straight. This will stretch your calf muscles and will try to relieve some of the cramping that is happening there.
- If you are prone to recurring leg cramps at night, you should consider drinking tea made from red raspberry leaf once in the morning and once before going to bed.
- Massage the affected area slowly and in a circular manner until the pain recedes.
If you have essential oils that can help the muscle relax like peppermint, chamomile or lavender, use this when you massage your cramped legs.
