Charlie Horses

[bertine]

Last night I kept waking up with Charlie Horses which I forgot about until I just went to stand up and got one in my right calf.

Anyways, I know I could look it up but I wonder how a cramp in your calf became known as a Charlie Horse.

I didn't know that. Cool. Do you know why or is it just something that you know works?

It's the quinine. Contraindicated if you have heart problems though.

Good for curing the charlie horses, but only if your ticker is up to par. Good to know!

Thanks for the info! Is there a documentation link or any other info available on it? I am all about the curing without medicine if you can being a massage therapist and energy healer. Medicine has it's place, don't get me wrong I use it daily unfortunately, but I think we rush to the medicine cabinet a little too quickly in Western culture.

Googling it should give you some more info.

That's too much like work. LOL!

Google knows all!
