   Is that an ointment or a warm wrap?  When I was a very young teen, I   
   experienced my very first foot cramp, which scared the hell outta me because I   
   had no idea what was going on.  I rush-hobbled out to the living room and   
   exclaimed, "My foot is *   
   attacking* me!!"   
      
   My parents kinda laughed, but sternly remarked "Stand on your toes!"—   
   somehow I instinctively knew what they meant, but I suppose a part of that was   
   also based on trust, that they knew what they were talking about, so as I   
   stepped on my toes (and kinda    
   stretched them out along with the under-muscles of my foot) sure enough, the   
   cramp just melted away.  This fascinated me so much, I went to my bedroom and   
   began practicing intentionally causing foot cramps, and massaging them out.  I   
   eventually got to    
   the point I could get them to release just by thinking about them, which I   
   suppose was a form of "mental massage" by directing certain muscles to simply   
   "relax."   
      
   Meanwhile, a few years later, I learned the bit about "stretch your toes   
   toward your nose" and other "stretch / release" techniques to help relax   
   before going "out of body" but they basically just helped me fall asleep :)   
   The thing about those magnesium    
   tablets is, you'll have gentle bowel movements all the next day :)
