Tonic Water Works Great For Cramps & Muscle Spasms

I have heard how Tonic Water is supposed to be great for muscle cramps and spasms so I decided to buy a bottle of flavoured tonic water from my local supermarket last week. I have been taking it for about 4 days and so far it is working really well in stopping my foot cramps and foot stiffness. I am having about a glass a day and so far it seems to be doing the trick. It is the quinine natural ingredient in the tonic water that has the relaxing effect on muscle spasms. I will keep it going and see if it continues to work its magic. Have you tried Tonic water for cramps and has it worked for you?

It is worth doing some research on it if you suffer from muscle cramps. Most supermarkets sell it.

Tonic water for cramps: I will tell my sister about this, she has terrible leg cramps all the time.

I have heard this before but I don't suffer from cramping often {ironically I had excruciating cramp in my left foot earlier this evening} so never buy it. :)

I didn't know tonic water was good for this. It makes sense as quinine is an ingredient in it. I have taken quinine pills before to help with leg cramps. Thanks for the information. Have a blessed afternoon.

I haven't tried it. Looks like it works for you. How long will you be drinking it?
