Restless Legs and Homeopathy

As with all things related to homeopathy, it is important to remember that homeopathy treats people, not disease.

Many of you experience the problem of your legs moving around at night while you are trying to sleep.  In my experience with my clients, it isn't always limited to just the legs.  Sometimes arms are flailing about as well.

Sleep time is the time of day when you work things through in your sub conscious that you can't or don't want to deal with during the day.  Sometimes it shows up in dreams.  Othertimes, it displays itself with a great deal of motion in our sleep.

Because homeopathy heals so deeply, it has the capacity to get to those things which may rear their heads during our sleep.  This includes excessive motion while sleeping.

The following is a list of remedies that have been known to heal people with restless legs at night.  As with all things related to homeopathy, the reason behind the restless legs needs to be examined before determining a remedy.  This list should not in any way be considered exhaustive nor should this list be used to treat your own night time restlessness.  There are many, many more remedies for restless legs. 

Remedy	Reason for selecting the remedy
Alumina	Neurological impulses don’t travel in the normal way.  One of the most important remedies for deep neurological conditions.  Likely to turn to MS, ALS or worse if condition is suppressed with drugs.
Rhus Tox	They have a constant anxiety as if “something is going to happen.”  They fear some kind of danger or attack, especially from family members. A good remedy for someone who was abused by a family member. Busy, restless, better from moving, worse at night.
Zincum Metallicum	Dissatisfied, complainer.  Torments everyone with their complaints.  Restless, hyperactive.  Also a good ADD/ADHD remedy.  They also feel under constant attack, but it is about being attacked by someone who is their superior.
Nitric Acid	Complainer, always takes everything in the worst possible way, unforgiving, litigious; restlessness which can develop into violence.  They have a constant feeling of threat which they are constantly fighting off.  Like most acids, there is a lot of activity, followed by exhaustion.  Among the nastiest of remedy states.
