Hello Arun ji 🙏 I truly understand how distressing constant heel and foot pain can be — especially when even standing or walking becomes uncomfortable. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅LOCAL TREATMENT

✅Padabhyanga (Daily Foot Massage)

Oil: Pinda taila (lukewarm) Method: Massage both feet gently for 10–15 minutes before bedtime Focus on heels, arches, and toes After massage, dip feet in comfortably warm water with a pinch of Saindhav lavan for 5 min 👉 Relieves pain, improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation and stiffness

✅Isthika sweda

Apply oil over the foot Warm the brick And place your feet over a warm brick ( heat the brick according to your tolerance level)

👉This will help to reduce the inflammation

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Yogaraja Guggulu 1 tablet twice daily after food (Anti-inflammatory & rejuvenating)

2 Dashamoolaristha 15–20 ml twice daily before food (Ligament healing & strengthening)

3 Burcalvin 1-0-1 after food (Pain & burning sensation relief)

Continue for 4 weeks, then reassess.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Include:

Warm, light, easily digestible food Cow’s ghee (½ tsp daily) to lubricate Vata Fresh vegetables, old rice, moong dal, barley, millets Ginger, turmeric, cumin, ajwain — help in pain and digestion Herbal water: Jeera + Dhaniya + Methi seeds boiled water for sipping

❌ Avoid:

Cold, dry, or refrigerated foods Curd at night Excess sour, salty, or fried foods Prolonged sitting or standing on hard floors Walking barefoot on cold ground

✅LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Gentle stretching of calf and sole before walking Improves flexibility Warm salt water foot soak (daily at night) Relaxes fascia and reduces pain Use soft-heeled footwear Reduces strain on plantar fascia Weight management Reduces mechanical stress on heel Avoid walking barefoot Prevents micro-tears in fascia

You are already doing well by maintaining a healthy sugar and BP profile.

Continue gentle exercise, gradual weight reduction (if needed) and consistent Ayurvedic care — this condition responds beautifully when Vata-Kapha balance is restored.

Avoid painkillers as much as possible; they suppress symptoms but delay fascia healing.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO ARUN JI,

Plantar fasciitis means inflammation of the plantar fascia, a strong band of tissue connecting your heel to the front of your foot. It acts like a shock absorbed and support the arch of the foot

when it gets strained or overused, it develop tiny tears and inflammation, causing heel Pain, especially when you first step in the morning or after rest

In Ayurveda, this condition is often compared to -Vata kadara (disease due to vitiated vata affecting tendons and ligament ) -Or Padashoola/padadaha - pain and burning in foot

VATA AGGRAVATION= causes dryness stiffness pain and pricking sensation KAPHA AGGRAVATION= leads to heaviness, swelling, and slow healing -AMA (TOXINS)= undigested metabolic waste that blocks channels and worsens inflammation -AGNIMANDYA (weak digestion/metabolism)= lead to improper nourishment of tissues (dhatus), weakening the fascia

In your case, age 65 years and higher weight increase vata and kapha, aggravating the pain and slowing recovery

TREATMENT GOALS -reduce pain and inflamamtion -remove ama (toxins) to improve healing -strengthen the fascia and muscles of feet -improve flexibility and circulation -prevent recurrence by correcting digestion and metabolism

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SAHACHARADI KASHAYA= 15ml + 45 ml water twice daily before meals for 3 months =pacifies vata in lower limbs, improves circulation ,

2)YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =anti inflammatory, detoxifies joints and llligamanet

3) GUGGULUTIKTAKAM GHRITA= 1 tsp daily with warm milk for 2 months =nourishes tissues lubricates fascia and anti inflammatory

4) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 15ml with warm water twice daily before meals for 2 months = reduces inflammation and stiffness

5) ERANDA SNEHA= 1 tsp with warm milk once weekly =relieves stiffness, constipation and vata aggravation

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) LOCAL OIL APPLICATION -OIL= MURIVEENA OIL =warm slightly and massage gently on soles, heels, and calves for 10-15 min daily =improves local blood flow, reduces inflamamtion ,nourishes fascia

2) HOT FOMENTATION -After massage apply a hot towel, hot water bag, or salt pouch for 10 minutes =relaxes muscles and fascia, reduces stiffness and pain

GENTLE STRETCHING (morning and evening) -calf stretch= against wall for 30 sec * 3 - plantar fascia stretch= pull toes back towards you with towel -ankle rotation= 10 each side -tadasana= improves posture and balance -vrikshasana= strengthen legs and feet -viparita karani= relaxes foot muscles, improves venous return

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom -bhramari -deep diaphragmatic breathing

DIET -warm, soft, cooked meals -use of cow ghee, sesame oil m, turmeric, ginger, garlic, ajwain, cumin -green gram , rice, steamed vegetables -herbal teas with dry ginger or coriander

AVOID -cold food, ice cream, fridge stored items -excess curd, cheese, bakery foods, refined flour -red meat, processed food, alcohol -prolonged fasting or irregular eating

Drink warm water throughout the day to improve metabolism and remove ama

HOMEREMEDIES

1) WARM FOOT SOAK= in hot water with epsom or rock salt 10-15 mi 2) OIL MASSAGE = with sesame oil + turmeric before bed 3) TUREMRIC MILK daily at night with pinch of pepper In it 4) DRY GINGER + TURMERIC + FENUGREEK POWDER= 1/2 tsp after meals reduces inflamation 5) ROLL FOOT on a tennis ball or frozen water bottle= 5 min daily

LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS -always wear soft, cushioned footwear, eve indoors -avoid walking barefoot on hard or cold surfaces -maintain healthy body weight gradually through diet an yoga -ensure adequate sleep 7-8 hrs, preferably 10 pm-5 am -avoid standing or walking long hours continuously - rest feet intermittently

-Plantar fasciitis can be fully relieved and prevented with consistent Ayurvedic management -Ayurveda works gently but deeply- expect improvement in 2-4 weeks, complete relief in 3-6 months -the key lies in regular. oil application, internal medication, proper footwear, and lifestyle disciplie -once pain reduces maintain foot care as a lifelong habit- especially given age and wight factor

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

For managing plantar fasciitis, Ayurveda offers several approaches to alleviate pain and discomfort effectively. The key is balancing your body’s doshas, primarily Vata, which can be aggravated in your case. Start your day with a soothing warm oil massage on the feet using sesame oil; it helps to reduce Vata and offers relief. After massaging, consider soaking your feet in warm water with a pinch of Epsom salt—this can help ease the tension and relax the muscles.

Diet is important too, focus on consuming warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest. Incorporate ginger and turmeric into your meals as they have anti-inflammatory properties. Avoid cold and raw foods as they can increase Vata, contributing to discomfort.

Practicing simple yoga postures like Tadasana and Virasana can also benefit in improving flexibility and reducing pain. Engage in these exercises in the morning when your body is not too fatigued. You might want to try stretching for about 10 minutes daily focusing on the calves and the arches of your feet.

Herbs such as Guggulu and Shallaki are known for their anti-inflammatory effects and might provide relief. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner who can prescribe formulations containing these herbs, ensuring it’s suitable for your body type.

For footwear, continue using soft cushions and well-padded shoes to ensure minimal strain on your feet throughout the day. Opt for shoes designed specially with arch support to prevent further aggravation. Besides, rest is crucial; minimize standing for extended periods and allow your feet time to heal.

If the pain persists or worsens, consult an Ayurvedic physician for more personalized guidance and possibly a detailed Panchakarma therapy, which can be very effective. Taking these consistent steps may substantially reduce the pain and improve your comfort over time.
