Homeopathy Remedy for Leg Cramps
A leg cramp is the sudden involuntary contraction of the muscles. The condition is temporary and harmless. It lasts for a few minutes and leaves a numbing feeling behind.
Occurring normally in the night, they are more commonly reported in the calf muscles but can occur in thighs, feet or toes as well.
There are two types of leg cramps namely idiopathic leg cramps and secondary leg cramps
While the first one can occur without any reason, the second one occurs as a side effect to medications or illness/disorder/deficiency.
Whatever be the case, the muscles of the leg contract and temporarily makes the bearer lose control over his muscles.
