How to treat pain in the arch of my right foot and toes? - #54569

Foot arch and toe pain is usually due to strain, improper support, or nerve/muscle fatigue. Give rest to the foot for 1–2 days. Avoid long standing, walking barefoot, or hard surfaces. Use soft, cushioned footwear. Keep the foot warm. You can do gentle stretching of toes and foot (without pain). At home, apply warm sesame oil and do mild massage, followed by hot water fomentation. Soaking feet in warm water with a little rock salt also gives good relief. Yograj Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after food Maharasnadi kwath – 15 ml with equal warm water twice daily This will reduce pain and inflammation. If pain persists for many days or increases while walking, then proper evaluation is needed to rule out plantar fasciitis or nerve involvement. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)
