1) Mustard, Pickle Juice, Apple Cider Vinegar
Try this home remedy for muscle cramps.  Chances are you have both of these ingredients in your kitchen right now.  Both pickle juice and mustard contain acetic acid.  This is important because acetic acid aids the body in producing acetylcholine, which works as a stimulant for your leg muscles.  You can get the great benefits of this from a spoonful of mustard or just a few ounces of pickle juice.  You can also try using apple cider vinegar because it has lots of potassium.  One of my favorite natural remedies for muscle cramps is a mixture of apple cider vinegar (about ten milliliters) with one teaspoon of honey in a glass of warm water.  Drink this mixture and you'll be able to see a great improvement.

2) Lemon Grass Muscle Cramps Home Remedy
For centuries and in various cultures, lemon grass has been used to treat pain in muscles such as from cramping and spasms.  It reduces stress in the tissues and this promotes relaxation.  Lemon grass is widely used for other ailments as well.

3) Cayenne
For several years I have been plagued with cramping muscles.  To get rid of this dilemma, I made a salve by combining cayenne pepper with coconut oil.  Warm the oil at the lowest heat possible and then stir in cayenne pepper to the point that it starts to thicken so it is a spreadable salve.  Rub this into the problem area and massage it for a while.  This works wonders.  Don’t forget to wash your hands really well after using the salve so you don’t accidentally rub your eyes with it.

4) Potassium Magnesium
Lack of potassium is the most significant cause of muscle spasms and leg cramps. Many folks don’t realize that another cause is lack of magnesium.  The USDA estimates the 75% of us don’t even get the minimum daily requirement for magnesium in our standard American diets (SAD).  As far as potassium, you can get the right amount of it in your diet and still be depleted due to sodium ion poisoning.  This condition is the result of too much sodium in the diet – salt.  The sodium pushes out the potassium at the cellular level and the normal flow of potassium in and out of the cells is diminished.  Take potassium and magnesium supplements and cut out the salt.  You can soak in Epsom Salts which is magnesium sulfate.  Your skin will absorb the magnesium and it will cause the muscles to relax.

5) Homeopathy for Muscle Cramps
Try Magnesia Phosphorica in applications where muscle cramps are soothed with heat.  Causticium and Ignatia Amara are prescribed when muscles and joints feel stiff as is often the case when muscles are overworked.  Calcarea Carbonica is also used when exertion is the source of the pain.  This can be taken when doing a lot of physical exercise or if the job is physically demanding.
