But folks should by all means run it by their docs first :)
Tonic water is not going to do a thing for the neurological condition aka Restless Leg Syndrome. There is about enough (100-300 ppm)quinine in the water to give that bitter taste, that’s all.
RLS is not just simple leg cramps. It is closer to the causes of Parkinson’s.
Simple leg cramps can be helped by eating a banana or an orange (potassium) and doing some stretching before going to sleep, remembering to point the heel, not the toe, while stretching the lower leg.
The only reason the old remedies even existed was that there were conditions that were less well understood and/or had no available treatment. As soon as a real solution arises, the old treatments disappear simply because they didn’t work or didn’t work very well or had negative side effects beyond what was (or sometimes was not) known about the common remedies.
