It never fails—you’ll be fast asleep when all of a sudden you feel that familiar and almost unbearable pain.

It’s almost a given that when you get a Charlie horse it’s in the still of the night and it sure comes on with a bang. This throbbing pain comes out of the blue and really hits you like a ton of bricks.

You can feel the muscles of the leg tense up and the pain can be excruciating. So getting rid of a charlie horse, particularly if it’s in the middle of the night, is probably a priority for you.

It can also be helpful to figure out what is causing this painful condition so that you don’t have to deal with it again if possible.

A charlie horse is a very common condition and therefore doesn’t usually require that one seek medical attention.

There are conditions such as pregnancy that can contribute to the likelihood of these painful irritations occurring, but at some point in your life you will probably be hit by at least one.

Determining the best methods by which to get rid of a charlie horse and to work towards preventing them from ever occurring again can be quite beneficial.

Fortunately there are some excellent natural cures for the very common charlie horse.

Vitamin E:

For those that frequently suffer from the charlie horse at night, there may be a deficiency.

Many believe that taking proper levels of Vitamin E can help to get rid of the charlie horse altogether.

This home remedy is rather simple as just taking a daily supplement of Vitamin E can help to build up proper levels within the body.

As a charlie horse that occurs frequently is also believed to be associated with circulatory problems, Vitamin E can be of great help with that as well.

Stretching:

If you are stuck with a charlie horse in the middle of the night or even during physical activity it can be hard to calm down and try to ignore the pain.

However proper stretching may be one of the best home remedies for a charlie horse.

Standing on the unaffected leg and slowly pulling the ankle up towards the back and stretching out the leg can help to alleviate the pain and ultimately get rid of the charlie horse.

Magnesium:

Another deficiency that is believed to be associated with the charlie horse is magnesium.

If you are having a lot of pain or the recurrence of the charlie horse, bumping up your magnesium consumption can be of great assistance.

This natural cure will help to prevent the charlie horse from coming back at all.

Cavities can be rather painful and at times even frustrating as they can interfere with something as simple as eating certain foods. Some people are just more prone to the onset of cavities due to genetics or lifestyle, but they can affect anyone at any time.

Cavities are especially common in children and those that aren’t as good about brushing their teeth as they should be.

Good oral hygiene can help to remove food particles and bacteria that over time can turn into cavities.

When you find that you are suffering from pain or having difficulty chewing on a spot in your mouth, then it’s highly likely that you have been affected by a cavity.

For those that get cavities, it can be really helpful to seek medical attention. In most cases, cavities need to be filled and only a dentist can be of assistance with that.

Cavities are usually cured by this method but there are certain measures that one can handle on their own to prevent them from coming back.

Fortunately there are some very simple home remedies that can help you manage the symptoms of cavities and prevent them from returning. Considering that the natural cures for cavities are simple in their approach but very powerful in helping you to get rid of them, they are well worth looking at.

Use a Straw

If you want a very simple home remedy for cavities and to work towards their prevention, then a straw can be just the thing you are looking for.

No matter the type of food, the longer bacteria and plaque are allowed to remain on the teeth, the likelihood of cavities developing will increase.

If you always brush right after or very close to the time you will be eating there will be less bacteria, acids and and plaque on your teeth which will help you to possibly avoid cavities completely.

Cheese

Eating cheeses like cheddar, brie and blue can be an excellent and most delicious home remedy for cavities.

The calcium and phosphate in cheese helps to act as a barrier to the plaque, breaking down cavity causing acids and thus protecting the teeth from decay.

This can be a very helpful natural cure to cavities and work well towards the prevention. The cheese can be a tasty snack eaten after and between meals.

Replacing foods such as white rice and pastas and sugary cereals with whole grain versions can be a huge help.

It can also be helpful to add in non-acidic and fresh vegetables in place of the sugary foods such as carrots and spinach.

Vitamin D Supplements:
