Natural Ways to Ways to Cure and Prevent Leg Cramps - More Than Home Remedies
If you get a leg cramp (or charley horse), the quickest way to get rid of it is to walk on the leg. If the person can't get up and walk on the leg, either heat or ice along with massage will help.
Drinking two ounces of natural apple cider vinegar has been reported to relieve involuntary muscle contractions or cramping in 35 seconds.
But, if you get leg cramps often, the best thing is to prevent them from happening in the first place.
Taking calcium and magnesium supplements (or calcium magnesium combination) and eating a banana daily prevent most leg cramps. If this alone does not do the trick, these will help increase circulation: Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. And, zinc helps your body absorb the calcium and regulate the B vitamins.
Leg cramps caused by insufficient fluid intake are prevented by drinking about eight glasses of water each day.
Leg cramps that occur during or after vigorous exercise can be prevented by eating a few bites of something salty and drinking at least half a glass of water before, during and after exerting yourself.

What is the best way to make a leg cramp go away?
Usually instinct takes over when a leg cramp strikes, and you massage and stretch the sore muscle. This is a perfect instinct and often solves the problem. The best steps are:
Massage the cramped muscle
Stretch the muscle (gently!)
Take a hot shower or bath to warm and relax the muscle

At this instant all you can do is massage the muscle, the blood moving through the muscle is part of the problem. After today start getting more calcium. Your body throws away the calcium in it every two years. If you do not regularly replace it then your blood starts showing the lack first, causing cramps--after that it can cause bone lose, one cell at a time. A doctor will not necessarily support this but I had leg cramps real bad as a kid and have solved it this way for 40 years now. By the way, the calcium has to have magnesium and D to be used by your body. Calcium without Magnesium and D can cause constipation. You can get magnesium from prunes.
If you get them often, like I did, go to your doctor and get a blood test. They found out i was low in Potassium. Now I take my pill every day, and no more cramps!
stretch and message it out.
if it's your calf, bend your knee a bit and flex your foot - it's hard to do, but it forces the calf muscle to release.
This action of doing the opposite of what causes the cramp is how to release cramping. After that, apply heat and massage. And make sure you get good nutrition and hydration to prevent cramps in the future. If you exercise regularly, make sure you stretch afterwards, as well.
