Restless Leg Syndrome
A Simpler, Natural Point
of View
|
|
This page contains several links
relating to the topic of restless leg syndrome
Sindrome de las piernas
inquietas
from the Traditional Herbal
perspective and the product Leg-Rest. Please follow the topics below to take you
to specific restless leg syndrome information or product information. The information
about restless leg syndrome on this page is somewhat condensed.
Note: "In order to remove restless leg syndrome the ancient herbalists would, in
principle, restore the bodies ability to create, store and distribute the
"bodies energy" through its circulation
thereby strengthening the other
organs into proper function removing the wastes and stagnation in the blood. The problem
is in principle solved, and for the most part…gone. This is what a product like
Leg-Rest does."

Restless leg syndrome
Sindrome de las piernas
inquietas
with
related sleep disorders is not a totally new phenomenon. The effects have
existed for centuries. Today it is far more prevalent than ever, largely because
of our modern circumstances. Restless leg
syndrome with related sleep disorders can be compared to gout or arthritis only
less intense, occurring within the vessels instead of in joints. Also, the
"irritating substance" is not so concentrated as to provoke an actual
inflammation in one local area but because of its dilution within the fluids of
the vessels is being more diffused over a larger area usually producing an
irritation rather than actual pain. This is similar to how a wooden sliver will
irritate or how an irritating substance on our skin will cause irritation only
within the vessels the substance is already much finer and on the inside vessel
walls. If there are too many irritating substances being carried in the blood
they can also alter the blood's chemistry.
Important concept: The term "life force" is a very
abstract term to most people. The blood carries this life force taken from the
air we breathe and the food we eat to all parts of the body. In the Orient it is
called "chi."
This very fine life energy for various reasons stops
flowing freely due to its insufficiency producing a stagnation. With it the
movement of the blood in general along with the substances being carried in the
blood also become inhibited. This is not a stoppage, but a stagnation. In this
stagnation various substances accumulate and begin to ferment releasing their
heat and rarified toxins producing local irritation. This can range from a mild
itching to pain.
This life force is to our blood what octane is to the
fuel we put into our cars. The more octane the more power. The more "life force"
the more capacity/energy to move that which could become stagnant. With age
there is even less life force available, this deficit in life force leaves the
blood less vital. (This circulating "power," although vital, is not mechanically
quantifiable.) And, as most of the blood is in the legs a greater possibility of
irritation in the legs exists in older people.
This is how a knowledgeable herbalist would
theoretically explain
restless leg syndrome related sleep disorders.
