Dear A.,
Growing pains are very painful as you well know. I struggled with them as a child, but my mother did not knnow what to do. My daughter now struggles with this. The best natural solution I have found is to use chewable calcium/magnesium as a supplement. As the body grows, it has an increased need for these minerals. They are also calming, so it helps her to calm down so that she can sleep. If I do not have any chewable on hand, i use my calcium/magnesium supplement, crush it in a mortar and pestel, and feed it to her in applesauce.
It is best to address the source of the problem (increased need of nutrients), rather than treat the symptoms (pain).
Please note that it is important to use quality supplements, rather than syntheic. If you need any recommendations, please contact me.
