Herbal Medicines

               Massage is the best treatment for relaxation of the contracted muscles. This can be done at home itself. It should be done by rubbing medicated oils on the affected muscles.

                                 Garlic Oil: 10 to 15 Garlic cloves should be crushed and added to 50 ml of any cooking oil and boiled on slow fire till half of the oil remains, and filtered. This is-one- of the effective home remedies for massage and gives immediate relief.
                            Those who experience cramps frequently can even use homely gingelly oil and have a massage by themselves, before taking daily bath.
