Charley Horse Cramps

Problem: I get Charley Horse Cramps more often when I'm pregnant. They can be really painful and hard to work out.

What I've done for them: Just lemongrass worked really well on the first one. The next one was more stubborn, but was gone quickly with Lemongrass and some Peppermint. I also stretch and relax the muscles, and sometimes massage the muscle, to help them work out the cramp. Recently I had a cramp that seemed to keep coming back, right behind my left knee (I hadn't been exercising my muscles as I should.) After the third time in the same day, I also massaged some Citrus Bliss diluted in Fractionated Coconut oil on the whole leg. The pain went away and did not come back again.
