That darn feeling you have to wander about the house in the middle of the night to stretch your legs has a name:
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)!
RLS can make it challenging to find restful sleep due to uncomfortable sensations and an overwhelming urge to move our legs. It usually pokes it’s head around the third trimester, but some women can experience it much sooner!
There are a few remedies to help ease RLS, with one of the most popular being Magnesium bath salts or Magnesium spray. Incorporating Magnesium into your routine can help ease RLS symptoms, as Magnesium is known to help relax muscles and promote better sleep. You can try using Magnesium spray or adding Magnesium salts to a warm bath before bedtime. This can provide a soothing effect and help reduce the discomfort associated with RLS. Salt Lab Reset Magnesium Bath Salts are perfect for soaking your stress away!
The Benefits of Magnesium:
1. Muscle Relaxation: Magnesium is known to have muscle relaxant properties. Applying Magnesium spray directly to the legs can potentially help relax the muscles affected by RLS, reducing the sensations of discomfort and restlessness. We love Salt Lab Magnesium Oil which comes in a handy 200ml spray bottle making it easy to apply.
2. Improved Sleep Quality: Adequate Magnesium levels in the body are essential for healthy sleep. By promoting relaxation and reducing muscle cramping, Magnesium spray may contribute to better sleep quality, making it easier for individuals with RLS to fall asleep and stay asleep.
3. Calming and Stress Relief: Magnesium is involved in the regulation of stress hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain. Applying Magnesium spray may help promote a sense of calmness and relaxation, potentially reducing the impact of stress on RLS symptoms.
