Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): Causes, Challenges, and Effective Relief
An estimated 40 to 70 million people across Europe suffer from Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), turning restful nights into sleepless struggles. This neurological disorder, often triggered when the body is at rest, brings tingling, burning, or restless sensations in the arms and legs, making relaxation almost impossible.
Uncovering the Causes
Scientists believe that RLS results from a mix of genetic and environmental factors. A common finding is a dysfunction in the brain’s dopamine metabolism, disrupting this key neurotransmitter responsible for regulating movement. While the direct health impacts of RLS remain unclear, the secondary effects of chronic sleep deprivation are well-documented, leading to decreased...

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is often caused by problems with the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain, which is responsible for controlling body movements. An imbalance or disorder in dopamine causes the legs to become restless and an urge to move them, especially in the evening and at night when dopamine levels are normally lower. Drugs that work similarly to dopamine are often used to improve this condition. They can cause side effects such as nausea in up to 30% of patients, tiredness and drowsiness in 10-20%, dizziness in around 15%, and at higher doses also impulse control problems in 3-5% of patients. Long-term use can lead to worsening of...
2. Magnesium citrate
Magnesium is frequently used to help manage Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), but choosing the right type is crucial. First, let’s explore how magnesium can positively affect the body and help alleviate RLS symptoms:
Muscle relaxation:
Magnesium promotes muscle relaxation by inhibiting calcium binding to muscles, which normally triggers contractions. This relaxation can help reduce physical discomfort that disrupts sleep. By minimizing muscle cramps and restlessness, magnesium may alleviate RLS symptoms.
Nervous system support:
Magnesium influences the nervous system and can have a calming effect, which is particularly beneficial for RLS, as the condition is often linked to nerve overactivity. Magnesium acts as a natural calcium channel blocker in the nervous system. Since...
3. Yoga
Yoga, especially before going to bed, is certainly a much healthier and very successful therapy for treating restless legs. Here are a few points about what regular practice can do for you.
Stress reduction:
Yoga is known for its relaxing effects that can reduce stress and anxiety. Stress is a known factor that can aggravate restless legs, so reducing stress can also help relieve restless legs.
Improve blood circulation:
Many yoga poses increase blood flow throughout the body. Improved circulation can help soothe inflamed or irritated nerves and reduce tingling.
Stretching and strengthening:
Yoga helps to stretch and strengthen muscles. This can be especially helpful if restless legs are caused by muscle tension or...
4. Nutrition
By far the most valuable and sustainable thing you can do for your body when you have Restless-Legs is to eat the right food. You set the course from the inside out and you'll see what a difference it makes. Here are the most important cornerstones of your diet.
Omega-3 fatty acids:
These anti-inflammatory fatty acids are found in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines, as well as in flaxseed, chia seeds and walnuts.
Leafy green vegetables:
Spinach, kale and other dark green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals that are important for nerve health.
Whole grain products:
Whole grains such as whole wheat bread, brown rice, and oats are rich...
5. Cold therapy
Let's move on to our absolute favourite, because applying cold to restless legs has outstanding effects on the nervous system that can help to directly alleviate the symptoms. To understand how this works, it helps to look at the body's physiological responses to cold. So what happens to the nerves when cold is applied?
Slowing of nerve conduction velocity:
Cold slows the transmission speed of nerve impulses. In the extremities, this can reduce unpleasant sensations such as tingling, burning or pain. The nerves are less ‘reactive’, which can lead to a certain calming of the symptoms.
Reducing the inflammatory response:
Although inflammation is not necessarily a primary factor in RLS, an accompanying inflammatory...

The vicious circle of pills – an interview with Kalter Bruder® founder Carsten
Carsten, what motivated you to found Kalter Bruder®?
