Are there any natural remedies out there for treating symptoms of bruxism?
My girlfriend has suffered from bruxism (grinding of teeth in her sleep) and other "muscle spasm" like symptoms in her sleep relating to a Post-Traumatic Stress syndrome.
While she has a mouth plate to protect her teeth, her jaw and neck muscles are constantly strained causing major pain and migranes upon waking.
Are there any natural remedies that could possibly assist us? I was thinking perhaps some sought of msucle relaxant that could be applied locally (ie. to her jaw)?
Any ideas/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I know how she feels….

Maybe think about osteopath? They can be helpful.
Clove oil. perhaps. Definitely a high quality Calcium magnesium product.

Valerian root might help with the sleep part.

Try EFT for the PTS. http://www.emofree.com. The technique is described on the website and it can wipe out the trauma literally within minutes. EFT is Emotional Freedom Technique. You will also find videos on youtube and there are a few books you can buy or possibly borrow from the library about the subject. It may be best to work with a professional but usually one session should do the job.
If she had this before the PTS then it is likely due to poorly done dental work. I had this myself. My teeth were almost flat and I woke myself and everyone else up due to it. Of course the trauma would worsen it.
