A muscle cramp is involuntary that sustained tightening of one or more of your muscles. It can sometimes result in intense pain and an inability to use the affected muscles. Leg Cramps are very powerful contractions of the muscles in which pain occurs in lower leg. Night leg cramps often occur just as you're falling asleep or just as you're waking up. The other leg cramps occurs after exercise especially if you are dehydrated, overtired or overheated.

Leg cramps usually aren’t serious, but in rare cases, they can be symptoms of intermittent claudicating which is a form of atherosclerosis that causes inadequate blood supply to the legs.

Some of the causes of leg cramps are mentioned below:

Our body needs some elements to balance, if there is a chemical imbalance such as magnesium and potassium in the body, it can cause leg cramps. If a person breaks a bone, the muscles surrounding the area will sometimes spasm as a means of protecting it. This is the body's clever way of immobilizing the bone and stabilizing it. In pregnant women, leg cramps often arise due to changes in the calcium metabolism. In this case, sometimes a doctor will start the patient on a course of calcium supplements if the pain is significant. Calcium deficiency can be an issue for people other than pregnant women and can be the cause of their cramps too.

Home remedies for leg cramps are mentioned below:

Minor cramps can often be prevented by drinking enough water and stretching before and after exercise. The remedies may help prevent and relieve leg cramps, according to some health professionals. You can use a warm towel or heating pad to get relieve from pain. You can also drink 15 grams of fresh bathu juice daily with an empty stomach also don’t add salt and sugar to it.
