Do you ever get woken in the night with a terrible leg cramps and spasm? Yikes, it"s a rude awakening! Taking calcium supplements is one way to prevent leg cramps, as is massaging your legs before bed with the following aromatherapy blend, courtesy of Valerie Ann Worwood, author of The Fragrant Pharmacy, a must-have book for anyone interested in the use of essential oils.

In 30mls of vegetable carrier oil (such as sweet almond, jojoba, coconut) add the following:

• 10 drops Rosemary essential oil
• 5 drops Lavender essential oil
• 10 drops Marjoram essential oil

Valerie"s advice is to "massage the whole leg in an upwards direction and lastly, massage the feet."

The aromatherapy book mentioned above is not currently available from us as it is out of print in Canada but it is available from amazon.com.
