Namaste, I understand how frustrating and uncomfortable it must be to deal with burning feet, cramps, and uncontrolled blood sugar levels despite following a diet plan. In Ayurveda, this condition is linked to imbalanced Pitta and Vata doshas and can be associated with Madhumeha (Diabetes) and neuropathy due to excessive heat (Agni) and impaired circulation. Ayurvedic Approach to Managing Your Condition 1. Herbal Remedies to Balance Blood Sugar & Improve Circulation • Triphala Churna – Supports digestion and detoxification, preventing sugar spikes. Take 1 tsp with warm water before bed. • Ashwagandha and Shatavari – Helps with nerve pain and burning sensations. 2. Remedies for Burning Feet & Cramps • Soak feet in cool water with a pinch of Triphala powder or neem leaves to reduce heat and burning. • Apply coconut oil with camphor or Ksheerabala Tailam for nerve pain relief. • Mahanarayan Oil Massage – Helps improve blood circulation and reduces cramps. • Pranayama & Gentle Yoga – Especially Anulom Vilom & Bhramari, which help with nerve relaxation. 3. Dietary Guidelines • Stick to low-GI foods: Include bitter foods like karela (bitter gourd), methi (fenugreek), and amla (Indian gooseberry) in your diet. • Avoid excessive spicy and sour foods, which increase Pitta and aggravate burning sensations. • Drink coriander and fennel seed water (soaked overnight) to cool the body. 4. Lifestyle Recommendations • Keep feet elevated while resting to improve circulation. • Avoid sitting for long periods—take short walks every hour. • Try Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapies like Virechana (detoxification) under supervision for deep cleansing.

Hello Neldon, , Your sugar levels staying at 14 despite following a diet means your body is not responding well to insulin. First, drink methi (fenugreek) water every morning on an empty stomach. Also, chew 5-7 neem leaves daily. These help in reducing blood sugar naturally. For burning feet, soak them in lukewarm water with rock salt for 10 minutes before sleeping. Apply castor oil or coconut oil with a little camphor to reduce nerve pain. Cramps can be due to magnesium deficiency, so have soaked almonds and pumpkin seeds daily. Are you doing any exercise? Even a 15-20 min walk after meals can help sugar control. Avoid late-night eating, and try to have an early dinner. Let me know if you also have stress or sleep issues, as these affect sugar levels too.
