For Restless Leg Syndrome I've always heard to add B Vitamins. This little article says to add Magnesium too:
The most common reason for Restless Leg Syndrome is a magnesium deficiency and Vitamin B deficiency. A magnesium deficiency will cause muscle tightening in the legs with spasms. A Vitamin B deficiency may cause the neurological problem and cause the "crawling creeping feeling on the legs". But what about Restless Leg Syndrome ( RLS ) causes these two deficiencies? According to John Lee, MD, Estrogen Dominance causes Magnesium Deficiency and Vitamin B deficiency. >From People's Pharmacy: This home remedy mystifies us, but we have heard from many readers like you. The risk of unwrapping a fresh bar of soap and putting it under the bottom sheet where the legs will be is almost zero. The cost is far less than a prescription. Positive responses from other readers experimenting with Ivory soap remedy: "A while back I wrote to complain that the bar of soap under the bottom sheet quit working for my restless legs. (It was great at first.) Then I got to thinking, it worked before, so why not now? That bar of soap had been there for six months, so I replaced it. The result: no more restless legs. A few times that I had symptoms, I put my feet on the soap and the sensations went away in about two minutes. "My husband was having severe leg cramps at night. Without telling him, I placed a soap bar under his sheets for two nights before he noticed. It worked! He's had no more cramps. We still can't believe it! " "I have had severe leg cramps for years. When I read about putting a bar of soap in bed, I got a bar of Ivory and put it under the bottom sheet near my legs. It's been a month since I did that, and I have not had one leg cramp. http://www.peoplespharmacy.com/archives/home_remedies/index.php?page=all Cindy
