In my mid fifties, I started to get agonizing leg cramps in my calves and feet at night. I tried different remedies but could not eliminate them. I like to watch Korean Dramas, so I tried eating the Korean staple food, kimchi for fun. I noticed that when I ate a little kimchi, I did not get leg cramps.
Now I just eat two mouthfuls of kimchi each day and I am leg cramp free. Works like a miracle for me. Kimchi is very hot and spicy so you need to eat it, like you would a relish, with something. You can eat it with rice, eggs, meat, fish, tofu, or chicken or whatever, at any time of the day. Kimchi is is usually made with cabbage fermented with hot pepper. It is very high in nutrients, and can be easily absorbed in the stomach. I don't know why it works, it just does.

This sounds really interesting! I have several friends and family who complain of leg cramps, and I'll mention this to them! Many thanks for the post!
I had horrible leg pain in my thigh. It was always swollen and hot. I tried Hylands leg cramps and have been using them ever since. I began using them every four hours then went to three times a day.
Do you think it would work for RLS (restless leg syndrome) and where do you buy it?
Regarding how it would work for restless leg syndrome, I do not know. You can buy kimchi anywhere there is a Korean community, or Korean green grocery store or market. If you do not live near there, you may have to make it yourself.
Thank you Madelyn!
At a doctor's recommendation I started drinking diet tonic water and the quinine content stopped my leg pains. Now I'm hooked on it.
