Foot
Cramps in the night
I recently posted about sleep
disorders giving some suggestions for their treatment. A closely
related conditon is that of foot/leg cramps. Many people are
brutally awoken from their sleep by these conditions and in this
brief post, I hope to offer some suggestions for their avoidance.
Cramps usually affect lower legs and feet |
First of all, what is the root
cause of such cramps? When there is excess tension in the body
(whether it arises from stress, over-exercising, excitement about
some forthcoming event, or any other source) this manifests itself in
strange subconcious muscle contortions and contractions. If the level
of this muscle activity reaches a high-point and goes beyond a
threshold, cramps ensue.
One of the most
straightforward ways to prevent cramps is to allow to energy to drain
out from the legs, to the floor. The easiest way of achieving this is
to stand upright next to your bed before getting in for the night.
Grab the back of your next with the right hand and reach as far as
you can down the side of the left leg with your left hand. Remember
not to lean over to the left: remain standing upright. Then repeat
the process on the other side of the body.
Should the symptoms persist, I
also find that Calcium Carbonicum can provide an effective remedy
against these unwanted intrusions into your peaceful sleep.
Peace,Love,Respect.Darryl.xx
