Natural Herbal Remedies for Restless leg syndrome

 

Restless legs syndrome with related Sleep Disorders is not a totally

new phenomenon. The effects have existed for centuries. Today it is

far more prevalent than ever, largely because of our modern

circumstances.

 

Restless leg syndrome with related Sleep Disorders can be compared

to gout or arthritis only less intense, occurring within the vessels

instead of in joints. Also, the " irritating substance " is not so

concentrated as to provoke an actual inflammation in one local area

but because of its dilution within the fluids of the vessels is

being more diffused over a larger area usually producing an

irritation rather than actual pain. This is similar to how a wooden

sliver will irritate or how an irritating substance on our skin will

cause irritation only within the vessels the substance is already

much finer and on the inside vessel walls. If there are too many

irritating substances being carried in the blood they can also alter

its chemistry.

 

Important concept: The term " life force " is a very abstract term to

most people. The blood carries this life force taken from the air we

breathe and the food we eat to all parts of the body. In the Orient

it is called " chi. "

This very fine life energy for various reasons stops flowing

freely due to its insufficiency producing a stagnation. With it the

movement of the blood in general along with the substances being

carried in the blood also become inhibited. This is not a stoppage,

but a stagnation. In this stagnation various substances accumulate

and begin to ferment releasing their heat and rarified toxins

producing local irritation. This can range from a mild itching to

pain.

 

This life force is to our blood what octane is to the fuel we put

into our cars. The more octane the more power. The more life force

the more capacity/energy to move that which could become stagnant.

With age there is even less life force available, this deficit in

life force leaves the blood less vital. (This circulating " power, "

although vital, is not mechanically quantifiable.) And, as most of

the blood is in the legs a greater possibility of irritation in the

legs exists in older people.

 

This is how a knowledgeable herbalist would explain Restless leg

syndrome related Sleep Disorders.
