Suffer no more! In this video I share four natural remedies I have personally used to stop my own leg cramps and foot cramps, and they really work! If you suffer from leg cramps or foot cramps, watch the video to find out what you can do to stop those cramps almost as soon as they start!
My leg and foot cramps started to appear many, many years ago. My only remedy at the time was to rub them out or walk them out, and that could take a long time. All the while I was in pain. A lot of pain! My right foot especially would cramp up, even when driving, and that would force me to immediately stop the car, get out, and walk around until it stopped. Very bad. Of course, the cramps happened at night as well, like they do with a lot of people. Then, I visited a naturopathic doctor and not only learned about some of the causes, but also some remedies that would help stop the pain, almost immediately.
Leg cramps and foot cramps can be caused by many things but a few common are poor circulation, lack of electrolytes (minerals) and cold feet. I discovered that I had really poor circulation, and so that certainly contributed to the issue. I would later find out that exercising depletes the body of electrolytes (minerals), especially magnesium, potassium and calcium. So does sitting in a hot sauna or steam room because lots of perspiring will deplete the body of electrolytes. Of course, rigorous exercise also causes perspiration. It just so happens that if you can get electrolytes back into the body you can also stop the leg cramps and stop the foot cramps.
Before I share the natural remedies for leg cramps and foot cramps, I want to emphasize that if you suffer from either of these cramps on any kind of regular basis, it would be in your best interest to visit a naturopathic doctor to find out why so that the cause can be treated. For example, I know for me it is due, in part, to poor circulation, and to that end, my doctor has worked with me extensively so that my circulation is much better now (naturally, of course). I still get leg and foot cramps, but they are much less frequent, and I now know how to stop them when they do occur. You can find a naturopathic doctor at www.realizehealth.org or simply Google “naturopathic doctor” and your city and state to find one.

I’ve been using this brand of electrolyte replenisher for a few years now, and in fact, I drink it nearly every day.

It really helps. You can find it at most health food stores. Their website: http://ultimareplenisher.com

Stops Leg & Foot Cramps In About One Minute
I recently found this remedy in a health food store and was intrigued by the product name and the claim, so I bought it to test it myself. I am happy to report, that it does, in fact, work! I have since talked with a worker at the health food store who said other customers have had great luck with this product as well. The ingredients of this product are just apple coder vinegar, ginger and garlic, which are all loaded with potassium. It’s not in all health food stores, so if you go to their website you can use their store locator to find it near you or purchase it online: http://www.stopslegcramps.com
