Need natural remedy for toe and foot cramps

Posted By Saba (Mentor, Oh) on 01/15/2013

Does anyone know any natural remedy for toes and/or foot cramps? They are painful and sometimes they curl up and sometimes they curl down. Thanks.

Apple Cider Vinegar works for me. I believe that it is the potassium in ACV that does it. I take about 1-2 Tablespoons in 8-10 ounces of water. I get results in minutes. Hope it works for you.

Hi Saba, I believe this indicates either a potassium or magnesium deficiency. Try increasing both with foods high in potassium and magnesium and I imagine your foot cramping will disappear in a day or so!

For immediate relief, pickle juice.. Sounds crazy, and I've only used the kind that you find in the refridgerated section of the store it has little bits of garlic and spices in it. Just a mouthful, this works within a minute. I have recently started taking b12 shots and suprisingly I have had cramps only a couple times, whereas I was getting them every night.

I pray and relax my cramp. it works in a few minutes and cramps go away. I usually have them the days I exercise. I stretch too.
