Hello Beloved CS-Circle! I could not find the origin of this thread, so I don't know if it has already worn out. Yet: here is an incredibly easy trick to undo yourself of (leg)cramps directly: We walk long distances (6 to 8 hours) in the high Andes Mountains, and people are apt to get leg-cramps, very painful, so: Press, with your fingertip, directly under the nose, between the nostrils where the septum begins. Make tiny little circles with the fingertip, pressing hard, but without overdoing it; do this three times, for three seconds. Bye cramps! As first aid, a little salt under the tongue will also do. Like to serve, hope to help, Leonardo "Faith" Licensed, practising and devoted reflexology practitioner, Health adviser, and (since yesterday) Dianetics Profesional Auditor.

I have ongoing electrolyte issues and have found that potassium works better for my leg cramps I know this will sound like I'm way off my rocker. I know I did when a friend ,{ several years ago } told me to " just try it.." I would get killer cramps after a 5-6 mile hike...I put a bar of soap--{ I think Caress ) {also use Irish Spring } , some say ivory is best } under my bed sheet...Don't laugh---I have not had a cramp at night ever since...I e-mailed my friends with the crazy idea & found that 3 of them do the same thing---one girl even carries a bar of soap in her purse & has one in her desk drawer to rub on her leg if she gets a cramp during the day... I typed " leg cramps & soap " & did a search. It's all there & it works for me...Lois
