Collection: Restless Legs Syndrome

What is Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)?

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological condition that causes an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, usually due to uncomfortable sensations like tingling, itching, pulling, or crawling. These sensations are typically worse at night or during periods of rest, and movement temporarily relieves the discomfort.

RLS can interfere with sleep and daily quality of life. While the exact cause isn’t always known, it’s often linked to iron or magnesium deficiency, nervous system imbalances, or chronic stress. Natural remedies can help soothe the nervous system and calm the muscles.

Symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome

1. Strong urge to move the legs, especially during rest or sleep
2. Tingling, burning, itching, or crawling sensations in the legs
3. Temporary relief with movement
4. Difficulty falling or staying asleep
5. Daytime fatigue or poor concentration due to disrupted sleep
6. Symptoms that worsen in the evening or at night

Natural Support for Restless Legs Syndrome

To help calm the nervous system, relax the muscles, and reduce nighttime discomfort, our practitioners recommend:

1. CH130 Passionflower Tincture – A natural nerve tonic that promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and helps ease muscular tension and restlessness, making it ideal for bedtime use.
2. D02 Magnesium Oil Spray – Applied topically, magnesium supports muscle relaxation, improves nerve function, and helps reduce leg cramps or twitching associated with RLS.

Natural Ways to Relieve Restless Legs

1. Apply magnesium oil before bed – Massage it into calves and thighs to ease tightness.
2. Establish a calming nighttime routine – Include herbal teas, warm baths, or meditation.
3. Avoid caffeine and sugar in the evening – These can overstimulate the nervous system.
4. Stretch or do gentle yoga – Especially before bed, to release tension in the legs.
5. Stay hydrated – Dehydration can worsen muscle tension and nerve irritation.
6. Use warm compresses – Applying heat can soothe nerves and relax muscles.
7. Get regular movement – Walking or low-impact activity during the day supports circulation.

Note: Restless Legs Syndrome can significantly impact sleep and well-being, but with consistent natural care and lifestyle adjustments, symptoms can be managed. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider to rule out underlying causes.
