Is there any natural treatment for Chilblains (Perniosis)?

I recently got a bad spout of foot chilblains for the first time ever after recovering from Covid (apparently a common post covid ailment). I was surprised and disappointed to hear from my local doctor that there are no 'quick fixes' such as pills, painkillers or temporary foot amputation techniques to at least reduce the nightly ritual torture routine which completely robs me of sleep and gets my half crying like a big baby. 'Wish this ailment not on my worst enemy' ....... no let me rephrase that 'I wish this ailment ...only on my worst enemy'. Well if my doctor and Big Pharma could not help me then maybe 'old wives tales' and natural medicine could do the trick. To cut a long story short, nothing worked, except for one remedy that was actually meant to serve as a preventative measure before coming down with chilblains.
This one remedy coincided with my own decision to blow all the advice being given, especially about keeping your feet warm and wrapped up all night and avoiding any form of cold like the Plague (or Covid). I went back to taking a general cold shower routine and afterwards just before going to bed soaking my feet in very warm and very cold water with ice cubes intermittently for one minute at a time for ten minutes. I had learned about this from a physiotherapist that was treating me two wrists that I had broken simultaneously at work. I had to apply this very same procedure to my wrists at home to improve my blood circulation there.
That night I finally slept like a log after a week of sleepless nights.
