Muscle tremors or shaking can be both uncomfortable and unsightly. If you suffer from tremors or shaking, consider taking herbal supplements known to help relieve your symptoms. These herbs can be found in most local supermarkets or drug stores, and can be administered as a pill, powder or liquid additive. Be sure to speak to your doctor for more information before starting any supplement treatment program.

Magnesium Phosphate

According to the Vitamin Supplements website, phosphates are essential for proper neuromuscular functionality. Magnesium phosphate is essential to the health of your bones and muscles, and also provides your body with energy necessary for physical activity. Found in many different herbal vitamin compounds, magnesium phosphate can also help promote healthy heart and kidney function.

Stramonium

According to Botanical.com, stramonium supplements derive from the thornapple plant, or D. stramonium in scientific classification. In terms of anxiety relief, stramonium can be beneficial if your tremors become worse when you are left alone or in solitude. During these instances, twitching may be minute or reserved for small muscle groups like the fingers or toes. Stramonium may help calm these fine muscle groups and alleviate tremors or shaking in the process. When combined with additional herbal supplements, stramonium may be effective in offering relief from muscle twitches and tremors.

Agaricus Muscarius

Another natural supplement that can help alleviate muscle tremors and twitching is a homeopathic preparation of Agaricus muscarius, according to the homeopath William Boericke, M.D. Agaricus is mushroom -- commonly called the toad stool -- that's native to many parts of the world, and can be poisonous. But in extremely diluted homeopathic preparations, this supplement has been used by patients who suffer from tremors that worsen following sexual intercourse, before bad weather or those who are generally nervous. Agaricus can be found as an ingredient in various homeopathic remedies.
