Muscle contraction causing a “charley horse”
A muscle cramp is a sudden, uncontrolled contraction of a muscle. This type of pain is most commonly experienced in the legs, and therefore often called a leg cramp or a “charley horse.”
Leg cramps occur when the muscle suddenly and forcefully contracts. The most common muscles to contract in this manner are muscles that cross two joints. These muscles include the calf (crossing the ankle and knee), the hamstring (crossing the knee and hip), and the quadriceps (also crossing the knee and hip).
Leg cramps usually last less than one minute, but may last several minutes before the contraction subsides. In some patients, the leg cramps occur primarily at night, and can awaken the patient from sleep. Whatever the case, one must seek Cures for leg cramps

DIRECTIONS: Dilute your synergy blend in your favorite carrier oil.

Dispense 1-3 drops into the palm of your hand, inhale & apply oil to your Mid-calf muscle & Achilles tendons, massaging gently. The oils will enter through the neurovascular points located in these areas to effectively trigger your relaxation and healing response to promote fast Cures for leg cramps
A massage and gentle stretching of the area that has been affected is usually the best method used to relieve an attack of the cramp. Though painkillers are not used for sudden attacks, it might sometimes be used to help ease muscle tenderness and discomfort which at times carries on for up to 24 hours after the cramp has gone away. This is one of the best Cures for leg cramps
