The other posters are correct; a very common cause of muscle spasms is a deficiency of magnesium and/or potassium. However, consuming sea salt or any other salt containing minerals is counterproductive because most Americans consume way too much salt (about 10x what's actually needed by the body) while at the same time getting too little potassium.

It's somewhat of a misconception that bananas are really high in potassium; everyone always mentions them, but actually, summer fruits (peaches, cherries, watermelon, most berries) are really high in potassium, as are dark green leafy veggies (spinach, chard, collards.)

The *balance* of minerals and trace mins is also crucial, so simply eating more of some minerals or trace mins can be not so great, as it throws the balance off, which can cause other problems. You won't have problems adding some potassium to your diet, safest and easiest to find is potassium gluconate. Or, better yet, find a Jamba Juice and buy fresh made green juices made with as many deep leafy greens as you can get.

As for homeopathic remedies... not only have they been proven in a number of reputable mainstream scientific journals to be effective, the Queen of England and the entire Royal Family are treated by a homeopathic physician, and homeopathy is remarkably effective for many types of illness, including things like muscle cramps... but you will want to find a really well trained homeopathic doc, because the nature of the way they are prescribed requires a very detailed evaluation. They work on a completely different basis than conventional biochemical medicine, more in the realm of physics.

I've personally found that in many cases, the homeopathic remedies work much faster and/or more permanently for things like aches, pains, flus, inflammations. I would probably use a combination of treatments for anything serious and life threatening, and I think most homeopathic docs would also recommend that. But calling them useless or ineffective is simply not an accurate assessment. If you can't find a good homeopath who is really properly trained, hit me up, I know a lot of holistic docs throughout the US and can probably at least get you a lead on somebody.
