Here you can share your experiences with substances that are ingested, inhaled, or otherwise consumed for the purpose of relieving RLS, other than prescription medications. For example, herbal remedies, nutritional supplements, diet, kratom, and marijuana (for now) should be discussed here. Tell others of successes, failures, side effects, and any known research on these substances. [Posts on these subjects created prior to 2009 are in the Physical Treatments forum.]

Horse Chestnut

Post by tomkay »

Does anyone have any experience with this supplement? I know that it is used to improve leg circulation. Just wondered.

I'm taking cayenne tablets and garlic and they're working wonders but just not for my jumpy legs.

Any thoughts?

I have seen the chestnut advertised for circulation but don't know of anyone with any experience of using it. Sorry.

I am not sure how it would help, tomkay. RLS isn't related to circulation, so even if it helped circulation, I doubt it would help RLS.

But, if you try it and it helps, let us know. You never know...
