Quiet Restless Legs: The Magnesium Tea Recipe
A calming tea with magnesium flakes, for the restless, jittery feeling in the legs at night.
That restless, hard-to-ignore feeling in the legs at night is one of the most disruptive nerve-related complaints — and magnesium is one of the most commonly recommended natural minerals for it.
What you'll need
- 1 chamomile tea bag
- 1 cup hot water
- 1/2 teaspoon magnesium flakes (magnesium chloride)
How to make it
- Steep the chamomile tea bag in the hot water for 5 minutes.
- Remove the tea bag and stir in the magnesium flakes until dissolved.
- Drink about 30-60 minutes before bed.
Why people say it works
Magnesium plays a role in regulating nerve and muscle function, and low magnesium levels have been linked in research to restless leg symptoms. Chamomile adds a calming, traditional bedtime ritual on top of the mineral support.
This is a home remedy, not a medical treatment. Check with your doctor before taking magnesium regularly if you have kidney problems, since your body may not clear excess magnesium efficiently.
