Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, usually accompanied by uncomfortable sensations such as crawling, tingling, burning, or itching. Symptoms often worsen during rest or at night, leading to difficulty falling asleep and chronic fatigue. RLS can be primary (idiopathic) or secondary to conditions like iron deficiency, pregnancy, peripheral neuropathy, or kidney disease. While non-life-threatening, it significantly affects sleep quality, daily functioning, and overall well-being.

Homoeopathy treats RLS by addressing nerve irritation, improving circulation, reducing restlessness, and enhancing overall sleep quality. Remedies are individualized based on the nature, timing, and aggravating factors of leg discomfort, associated restlessness, sleep disturbances, and patient constitution. The goal is to reduce nocturnal symptoms, ease discomfort, and restore restorative sleep without side effects.
