Hot pepper is a cure that my wife has found useful for leg cramps after working out (so far, I haven't had the problem). We heard about this on The People's pharmacy, broadcast from Durham, NC but you can obtain podcasts.

We just put a few shakes of Tabasco sauce into mug, put in a pinch of sugar ( optional), add a tablespoon or two of tap water, swirl the mix around a time or two. Then she'll toss it back. Cramps abate within seconds for her. Maybe it's the pain from the peppers that makes her think about that instead of cramps.😂
