Pickle Juice: Drink 2 to 3 ounces of dill pickle juice. While drinking pickle juice may end cramping 45 percent faster than just drinking water, drinking water and taking salt (the water cures protocol) is faster than pickle juice.

One theory why this works: since pickle juice is slightly acidic, a signal is sent to the nerves to shut them down. There may be a more logical reason. Pickle juice is loaded with minerals which provides electrolytes and helps prevent muscle cramping. Also, the probiotics resulting from the lactic acid fermentation of pickles are beneficial to the bacterias in our gut. The problem of leg cramps when you are in bed, it requires a trip to the fridge and time to get to the gut. The cramp will usually resolve by the time you drink the juice.

If it does not work for you, here's why. Consider this study, Electrolyte and Plasma Changes after drinking pickle juice. Note: We hypothesize that the reason for the outcomes of this test not being as good as salt could be due to the speed of absorption of the salt. When the electrolytes have to go through the stomach and gut, it will take longer to get into the blood.

The salt, absorbed in the mucous membranes of your mouth get the salt to the blood stream much faster than any other remedies for leg cramps that could be tried..

Honey and Vinegar: A tablespoon of vinegar and a teaspoon of honey. It should work inside a minute, if you can make it to the kitchen to get it.

Cool it down or Heat it Up: A warm towel, heating pad or warm bath may help. The down side, how long they take to apply. Ice, perhaps a little more readily available may work too.
