I found the following in one of my oriental herbal books. Soak your feet in hot water that contains grated ginger root. You'll have to experiment with the amount of ginger root used. What I read said to grate half a ginger root into steaming water. What constitutes half a ginger root? Ginger root can be three inches long or a foot long, which means you could be using too little to be effective or way more than you need. Since ginger can be reasonable to outrageously expensive, the better choice is to see what works for you. Also, if you suffer from diabetes you may not have feeling in your feet and using steaming water could cause burns. Use your judgment or have someone with normal circulation and feeling test the water first. I read information from the University of Hawaii stating that ginger can boost your immune response by as much as 200%. It's also good for motion sickness and makes a great tea. I found no adverse side effects stated in anything I read. Just don't overdo, ginger is very hot.

Here's a simple Qi Gong exercise that works for leg cramps. Lie on your back, knees slightly bent, heels apart and toes touching. Stretch your arms out to the sides like a tee and relax for a few seconds. Next, keeping the toes together and heels apart, extend and stretch the legs as much as possible. Repeat the exercise ten times, two or three times per day.

You have to experiment because different cramps work slightly different muscle groups. If flexing the heels helps relieve cramps, pointing the toes may make them worse.
