Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 What is a good treatment for restless leg syndrome. There is a woman who has this at night and it keeps her up most of the night. Exercise, vitamins, etc. have not helped. Namaste, Penny ---- Dear Penny, Greetings. MEDICAL INFORMATION: RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME (RLS) " Restless Legs Syndrome is a disorder characterized by disagreeable leg sensations, usually prior to sleep onset, that cause an almost irresistible urge to move the legs. The only thing that seems to relieve the discomfort is to move the legs. stretching them or getting up and walking around on them. Unfortunately, this interrupts the sleep cycle, so people with RLS are often very tired from lack of sleep. Adults with RLS will typically have all four of these primary features: 1. The bothersome, but usually not painful, sensations deep in the legs produce an irresistible urge to move. Some words used to describe these sensations include creeping, itching, pulling, creepy-crawly or tugging. (These sensations may only involve a strong urge to move the legs. They may also occasionally occur in the arms.) 2. Symptoms are worse or exclusively present when the afflicted individual is at rest, and the sensations are typically lessened by voluntary movement of the affected extremity. 3. Symptoms are worse in the evening and at night, especially when the individual lies down. 4. Movements of the toes, feet, or legs (known as restlessness) are typically seen when the afflicted individual is sitting or lying down in the evening. This restlessness may be seen as fidgetiness or nervousness. Associated features of RLS RLS symptoms can cause difficulty in falling and staying asleep. Approximately 80% of people with RLS will also have periodic limb movements of sleep, which are jerks that typically occur every 20 to 30 seconds on and off throughout the night, often causing partial arousals that disrupt sleep. Because they may experience difficulties with falling and staying asleep at night, they may be abnormally tired or even sleepy during waking hours. Chronic sleep deprivation and its resultant daytime sleepiness can affect their ability to work, participate in social activities, and partake in recreational pastimes and can cause mood swings, which can affect personal relationships. RLS may be the result of another condition, which, when present, worsens the underlying RLS. This is called secondary RLS. During pregnancy, particularly during the last few months, up to 15% of women develop RLS. After delivery, their symptoms often vanish. Anemia and low levels of iron in the blood are associated with symptoms of RLS, as are chronic conditions such as peripheral neuropathy (damage to the nerves in the hands and feet) and kidney failure. Recent literature also points toward an association between RLS and symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. If you have no family history of RLS and no underlying or associated conditions causing the disorder, your RLS is said to be idiopathic, meaning without a known cause. " PRANIC HEALING TREATMENT: (Note: not applicable if patient is pregnant.) General sweeping with LWG. Sweep front and back solar plexus and the liver. Energize with LWG, LWB, & LWV. Sweep front and back heart with LWG & LWV. Energize with EV. Sweep the basic & navel chakras. Energize with LWR. Sweep sex chakra. Energize with WHITE. Sweep the entire leg especially the hip, knee, and sole minor chakras alternately with LWG & LWO. Energize with LWG, LWB, then LWV. Repeat treatment at least 3 times a week. Love and light, masterfe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bunty gandhi Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 My wife is suffering from same problem from last 5 months. Tried everything.Done all tests of calcium-vitamins,bone,blood,RA. all normal Taking pain killers like voveran,combiflam,ultracet,chandraprabha vati,vat vidhwans ras,rasnadi guguloo not helping a bit. Taking vitamins supplement like E12,E not helping her. Abhayanga with mahanarayan taila-kapoor tail gives temporary relief upto some extent. Tried Agnikarma once and got relief for 7-8 days (no pain at all during that) and then after again cycle of severe pain in one leg started. Can you guide me please?

Raveena Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Practise the following yoga exercises: Vipariti karni, uttanasana, pachimottonasana, sirsasana, setu bandhasana, balasana and shavasana. Also pranayama: anulom vilom and kapal bhati. Practise yoga and pranayama (30 mins) every morning on an empty stomach for at least 1 hour and your problem will be solved within a month. Stay healthy!
