Homeopathic Remedies for Leg Ache

Many conditions can cause aching legs. Aches can stem from muscle, bone, and even vein conditions that should be evaluated by a doctor before you begin any self-diagnosed treatments. Once your doctor has approved homeopathic alternatives, many simple, inexpensive remedies may provide much-needed relief.

Vitamins for Leg Pain

• Spider and varicose veins are blood vessels that become dilated due to the increase in vein pressure. They can cause cramps, along with a burning sensation and painful inflammation. Daily consumption of anywhere from 600 to 1,200 mg of vitamin E and up to 3,000 mg daily of vitamin C may relieve the pain and leg cramps associated with these conditions.

Heat Compressions

• Heat compressions, whether in the form of a hot water soak or a heating pad, are known to relieve aches and pains by loosening your leg muscles. Simply place your feet in a tub of tolerably hot water or directly onto a heating pad. The heat will radiate from your feet upward to your legs.

Massage

• Combine 10 mg of camphor together with 200 g of mustard oil and place into a bottle. Allow the bottled ingredients to sit outside in the sun until the camphor is completely melted. According to RxList.com, camphor stimulates nerve endings and reduces pain when applied to the skin, while Mamaherb.com reports mustard oil contains alkaloids and riccin that work as a soothing agent.

  Massage your feet and legs with this mixture before going to bed, then wrap a bandage around your legs to keep the muscles intact. You should feel leg pain relief almost immediately, which should carry on into the morning and the next day.
