Hot water can be used to soak feet to promote local blood circulation, usually eat more calcium-rich foods, such as shrimp, tofu, milk, etc.; or oral calcium gluconate oral solution, calcium carbonate tablets. 2. Cold: If the temperature of the surrounding environment is relatively low, the muscles of the feet may contract when they are cold, leading to the phenomenon of toe cramps. You should keep warm in daily life to avoid getting cold; after your feet have cramps, you can use hot compresses, acupuncture, moxibustion, tuina and other methods to improve the blood circulation of your feet, relieve the spasm of your toes, and promote the recovery of the cramps. 3.
