5 Supplements for Treating Restless Leg Syndrome
When you're sitting at work, driving your car, or laying down to go to bed at night, if you feel like your legs have a mind of their own and you're unable to get comfortable, you might have restless leg syndrome (RLS).

RLS is a condition that affects your nervous systems and causes feelings of urgency to move your legs. Symptoms usually include leg pain, a burning sensation, tingling, cramping, and aching.

What are some natural ways you can treat RLS?
  • Avoid stimulants (especially nicotine and caffeine)
  • Increase exercise activity
  • Massage and acupuncture
  • Magnesium
  • Iron
  • Diosmin
  • Green tea
  • Chromium
Dr. Mike discusses symptoms and causes of RLS, natural ways to prevent RLS, and five supplements to help treat it.
