Pickle juice has become a popular remedy for legcramps over the years — specifically for the cramps runners and athletes get after a workout. - One longstanding theory for how pickle juice works is its sodium content. - The juice contains salt and vinegar, which may help replenish electrolytes. Just make sure to check the ingredients so that it does not contain any unnatural substances or high fructose corn syrup. - To use pickle juice for muscular cramps, measure out the pickle juice and drink it quickly. Taking a rough “shot” is also acceptable. - You can use pickle juice from store-bought cucumber pickles or safely fermented homemade pickles, if you desire. Make sure the natural vinegar acids and salts are present. It also doesn’t matter if the pickle juice was pasteurized or not. - Because it’s thought that cramp relief comes from the vinegar specifically, avoid watering the juice down. Drink it raw and experience the taste. However, this may be difficult for some people who don’t enjoy the taste so much.
