Relaxation: Relaxation exercises, moderate exercise, tylenol, (acetaminophen) warm baths and massage have all been recommended for helping with restless leg syndrome. Sometimes it may be caused by iron deficiency, therefore, correcting the deficiency may also help with the symptoms.

Hard to say: First thing is to exclude things that cause rls, like many medications (antihistamines and some antidepressants and major tranquillizers) and iron deficiency. There are many naturopathic and homeopathic remedies (restful legs powder, restedlegs), but there are no studies that really prove their worth. Some people benefit from trigger point therapy. See a naturopathic or homeopathic doctor for help.
