Story at-a-glance
- Restless leg syndrome (RLS) causes an irresistible urge to move your legs, with symptoms worsening at night. The sensations are described as crawling, pulling, aching, and throbbing
- RLS is often linked to underlying conditions such as iron deficiency, kidney failure, peripheral neuropathy, spinal cord conditions, or Parkinson's disease
- Nutritional approaches like increasing iron, magnesium with B6, and vitamin D intake help manage RLS symptoms without the side effects of pharmaceutical medications
- Traditional herbal remedies like Dangguijakyak-san (DS) and Shihogyeji-tang (ST) also help treat RLS by balancing blood flow and dopamine activity
- Exercise, stretching, acupuncture, and other holistic approaches like pneumatic compression devices and near-infrared light therapy effectively reduce RLS symptom severity and improve sleep quality
