Do you have an irresistable urge to move your legs,especially at ni
ght and does it get worse when you are resting?
Then you may have RLS. RLS, or restless leg syndrome, is something that affects almost 10% of the population.
It is the most common neurological disorder in the world. This sort of disorder is known to cause restlessness of the legs as suggested by the name. This means that the leg suffers cramps or a feeling of tingling sensations.

RLS can strike at any time
It is often triggered by keeping the leg idle for long periods of time. This happens when a person travels in an aircraft, or travels for long periods of time in a car, or even falls asleep on a chair for a long time. Cramped positioning of the legs will trigger this disorder, which can be very painful at times. Often sufferers wake up in the middle of the night with leg cramps. This disorder also causes twitching, or involuntary movement, of the legs while sleeping. Because of this, RLS causes insomnia in many patients as those suffering are unable to sleep through the symptoms.
Until recently, prolonged periods of inactivity were thought to trigger the disorder. Relief is provided when the sufferer starts stretching or moving the affected limbs. This can include taking a walk, or stretching the leg, or even moving the toes of the legs in a circular motion. This helps in resuming the flow of blood and oxygen to the legs, which helps in getting rid of the cramps or the creepy sensations that happen due to RLS.
Quinine is a medication that is used to treat RLS. However there are also many natural remedies available that can effectively deal with RLS symptoms. Many people prefer these natural remedies because of fewer instances of side effects. There are many remedies that are commonly available in the market that help in providing relief such as herbs, essential oils and vitamins.
Vitamin supplements for RLS and cramp relief
They help in effectively treating the pain caused by leg cramps. Many people have benefited from such a diet. This is mainly because these agents circulate the flow of blood and oxygen to the legs so that there is no chance of cramps. Also, when Quinine is mixed with Vitamin E and consumed, it has the ability to relieve the patient of many of the painful symptoms of RLS.
Yoga is another great cure for RLS. This is because Yoga relaxes the muscles in the legs. Tests have shown that the relaxation is caused by increased oxygen flow to the muscle. This will help to decrease the pain and cramps that are brought about by prolonged periods of inactivity. RLS symptoms are treatable. Natural treatment usually provides relief.
RLS is a very real disorder even though the description of it can sound a little strange. It is the cause of many a night’s loss of sleep and can add much stress to one’s life if left unaddressed.
