You will find restless leg natural remedies in this article. Restless Leg Syndrome, also known as Wittmaack-Ekbom syndrome, is a neurological disorder with an uncomfortable sensation deep within the legs, usually the calves. Symptoms are usually worse when resting or during the nighttime, causing sleep complaints. You may sense creeping, tingling, burning, cramping, aching, itching, pulling and crawling. Sensations may move around and can be experienced in one leg or both. Movements can be either voluntary or involuntary.
Causes may come from kidney failure, low iron levels, pregnancy, peripheral neuropathy, folic acid deficiency, thyroid problems or diabetes.
Restless legs can become a chronic condition for which the normal medical field has few answers, except to prescribe drugs which may have mild to severe side effects, making things worse. There is no cure but management through drugs.
From a natural perspective, Restless Leg Syndrome is clearly a weakness of the nervous and circulatory systems of the legs. Physical activity improves symptoms.
