RLS Helpers and Hurters
Posted: Mon Apr 19, 2010 3:50 pm
A short while ago I created a "RLS Remedies" page on my website. For days I scoured the Internet looking for forum postings, articles and studies that presented natural remedies that have helped various RLS Sufferers to lessen their symptoms. No name-brand remedies or pharmaceuticals were included.

What became apparent during this research is that there are certain remedies that have worked for a LOT of different RLS sufferers.
Here are the most popular remedies and antagonists:
VITAMINS
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Vitamin B11 (Folic Acid)
Vitamin B12
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
MINERALS
Calcium / Magnesium
Iron
Potassium
Water
Zinc
HERBS
Butcher's Broom (Ruscus Aculeatus)
Gingko
Valerian Root
TREATMENTS
Acupuncture
Exercise
Yoga
OTHER
Tonic Water (Quinine)
Bar of Soap Under the Sheets
RLS ANTAGONISTS
Alcohol
Aspartame
Caffeine
Gluten (found in Wheat)
Insomnia
MSG (Monosodium Glutamate)
Salt
Sugar
Wheat (products contain Gluten plus additional additives)
I wondered if any of these supplements that people kept mentioning had any anti-inflammatory qualities to them? I also wondered what sort of relationship these antagonists have with inflammation, if any?
What I found was truly amazing!
It turns out that ALL of the above remedies have anti-inflammatory qualities and EVER SINGLE antagonist has inflammation inducing properties.
