Dear Vanessa
Hi welcome to HCM
Muscle twitching is a very natural expression of body when its 3 basic factors - Vata ,Pita & phlegm are deranged because , some of the , essential ingredients are missing or over consumed in your diet . No drugs, supplements, or other treatments have been found that completely control the symptoms, unless modify your food habits and life style However, often the most effective approach to treatment is to treat any accompanying anxiety. In cases where twitchings are caused by magnesium deficiency, supplementing magnesium can be effective in reducing symptoms.
