What is the best Ayurvedic medicine for burning feet, and what causes this condition?

Question

I have been experiencing a burning sensation in my feet for the past few months, and I don’t know why it’s happening. It usually gets worse at night or when I wear shoes for too long. I don’t have diabetes, but I feel like my feet are always overheated. I want to know if there is any best Ayurvedic medicine for burning feet that can help provide relief.

I have read that this could be related to Pitta imbalance in Ayurveda. Does an increase in body heat cause burning feet, and if so, what are the best cooling remedies to balance it?

Some people suggest soaking feet in cold water with neem leaves or using coconut oil for massage. Are these effective, or is there a better Ayurvedic medicine for burning feet that works from within?

I also want to know if any herbal supplements help with nerve-related issues. Could this burning sensation be due to poor blood circulation or nerve weakness? If so, does Ayurveda recommend any herbs like Ashwagandha or Brahmi for nerve health?

If anyone has experienced this condition and found relief through an Ayurvedic medicine for burning feet, please share your experience. I want to find a natural solution that actually works.

Burning feet can indeed be a sign of Pitta imbalance in Ayurveda, which leads to an excess of heat in the body, often affecting the lower extremities. To address this, cooling remedies such as soaking the feet in cold water with neem leaves or applying coconut oil can provide immediate relief, as both have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties. For long-term relief, Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala and Guduchi can help balance Pitta and improve circulation. Ashwagandha and Brahmi are beneficial for nerve health and can help strengthen the nervous system, reducing discomfort associated with nerve weakness. Additionally, consuming cooling herbs like coriander, mint, and saffron, and following a Pitta-pacifying diet that avoids spicy and oily foods, can help manage the condition from within. Regular foot massages with cooling oils like coconut or sandalwood oil can also soothe the burning sensation. If the issue persists, it’s advisable to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor a more specific treatment plan.
