Health advice for restless legs syndrome
Walking is a good natural cure for your restless legs. Avoid long walks and any form of strenuous physical work. Carrying or lifting heavy weights might increase the condition.
Reduce your caffeine consumption which may be contained in coffee, over-the-counter medicines, tea, chocolate and sodas. Tobacco contains nicotine and alcohol can have negative effects on your sleep pattern.
Some over-the-counter medications contain mild stimulants which give restless legs.
Massage your legs at night and take a warm bath before you go to bed at night. You can also try soaking your legs in warm water before retiring to bed. Another effective alternative therapy for restless legs is to apply alternate hot and cold compresses to your legs. Either this method will give you relief or one of the compresses will sooth your jittery legs.
Eat nutritious foods and maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you are already having restless legs, then stress may aggravate it. So, try and stay calm and disciplined with the help of yoga and meditation.
If restlessness persist in your legs even after following these home remedies or it gives rise to other complications, consult your physician.
