Video Transcript

"Hello my name is Dr. Susan Jewell and on behalf of Expert Village today I am going to talk to you about how to recognize and how to treat the symptoms of Restless Leg Syndrome and in this clip we are going to look at one of the alternative ways to treat this condition. We are going to talk about herbal remedies. Now herbal remedies, some of the herbal herbs that you can find out there in the wild or also what you can prepare yourself are already made herbs in pill form or jar form that you can buy in any local health food store or drug store or over-the-counter and these would help to reduce stress or anxiety which will in turn help to reduce your chance of getting the Restless Leg Syndrome. Gincobalober and ginseng have been found to have properties to reduce stress in the body, to relax, and to reduce anxiety. These are all herbs that you can buy very readily in most drug stores. Herbal oils can also be bought in health food stores or aromatherapy and treatment places that could also help for you to reduce the symptoms of Restless Leg Syndrome. Let's have a look at what I have here. I bought this in the local herbal store and this is called deep tissue aromatherapy and herbal therapy and in this particular bottle is a solution with a mixture of botanicals for example you have here St. John's Wart flowers, you have wintergreen oil, ginger root and several other rubs that will help you to do massage and rubbing on your legs or you can rub it all over. You can also dilute it into warm bath water and sit in the bath water or just do an overall massage to relax the tissues and help in that way, and also in that way it will help you to decrease the stress and the tension and therefore help you with the symptoms that you will find you get from the Restless Leg Syndrome."
