Is there a food cure for restless legs? After a year of creepy-crawly feelings in my legs whenever I try to sleep, my doctor prescribed Mirapex. But it made me so nauseated, and I read about strange side effects—one woman online talked about her increased need to gamble! I stopped taking it, but I still want relief. Is there a natural remedy?
Yes. Magnesium is a natural muscle and nerve relaxant that calms the involuntary spasms and creepy-crawly sensations of restless legs syndrome (RLS), plus it brings on more restful sleep. Simply take 400 mg of magnesium glycinate just before going to bed. If RLS symptoms still wake you, take an additional 200 mg to calm the body and return to sleep easily.
