Heel spurs and the pain associated with them, frequently come from underlying plantar fasciitis. This is a common issue where Ayurveda can offer some aid, by addressing root imbalances. The focus here will be on pacifying aggravated Vata dosha, that often influences such chronic pain troubles. First, ensure to apply regular warm oil massage to your heels, using sesame oil, which soothes Vata. It’s best to heat the oil slightly, and rub the area for about 15-20 mins daily, if time allows. This helps in increasing circulation and reducing inflammation around heel.

Furthermore, consider immersing your foot in warm water mixed with Epsom salt post-massage whenever possible. It’s a simple and effective way to ease stiffness and tenderness, combining warmth and magnesium to relax muscles and ligaments.

On the herbal front, Ashwagandha and Guggul can be supportive. These herbs are known for their anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. You might want to introduce a daily supplement of these, but it’s best to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to get a suitable formulation tailored for you.

Diet wise, reducing intake of cold, dry or processed foods is beneficial. Opt for warm, cooked foods rich in healthy fats like ghee for nourishment. Turmeric, a powerful anti-inflammatory spice, should be incorporated in daily diet, perhaps through turmeric milk, prepared using warm milk and half teaspoon of turmeric powder.

Exercise moderation is also key; maintain activity that doesn’t strain your feet excessively. Simple yoga pose like Tadasana might help in gently stretching and strengthening the feet.

Remember, persistence is key with Ayurveda, harmony is restored gradually, and it’s quite vital to maintain consistency in following any regimen. But if pain persists despite consistent efforts, or worsens, seeking medical advice is crucial. Pay attention to your body’s signals and don’t ignore any escalating symptoms.

HELLO MOHAMMAD ANAS,

You have a condition called plantar fasciitis, which is often linked with a heel spur- a small bony outgrowth on the heel bone.

In Simple terms -There’s a thick tissue band(called the plantar fascia) under your foot that connects your heel to your toes. -This band gets overused, irritated, or inflamed over time- often from standing, walking long hours, being overweight, or wearing poor footwear. -A heel spur is a bony spike that forms due to stress and pulling on the heel bone. It may or may not cause pain, but when combined with inflammation, it becomes very painful. -The pain is usually sharp in the morning or after sitting/resting for a while, and it improves after walking a little. -since its been 2 years and now affecting the other foot, this has become a chronic condition

In Ayurveda, this is called VATAKANTAKA- caused mainly by an imbalance of the Vata dosha(which governs movement, dryness, degeneration)

CONTRIBUTING FACTORS IN AYURVEDA:- -walking or standing for long hours -excessive dryness in body-vata -poor digestion and toxin build up- Ama -old age(vata naturally increases after age 45)

The pain, stiffness, and cracking sensation all indicate increased vata and degeneration in the heel area.

INTERNALLY START TAKING

1)YOGARAJ GUGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after food =reduces pain and inflammation, balances vat-a

2)LAKSHADI GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after food =strengthens bones, heal microfractures

3)DASHMOOLA KASHAYA- 20 ml+equal water twice daily before meals =Anti-inflammatory, reduces pain and stiffness

4)SHALLAKI CAPSULE- 1 capsule(500mg) twice daily after food =natural pain reliever, supports joint repair

5)ERANDA TAILA- 1-2 teaspoon at bedtime with warm water/milk =mild laxative, relieves vata from colon

TAKE THIS ALL MEDICINES FOR ATLEAST 8-12 WEEKS CONTINUOUSLY.

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1)OIL MASSAGE- MAHANARAYAN TAILA warm oil massage on heel and foot= daily before bath =relieve stiffness and nourish tissues

2)HOT WATER FOMENTATION(STEAM OR HOT PACK)- after oil massage daily =softens fascia, improves circulation

3)HERBAL PASTE APPLICATION- RASNADI CHURNA+CASTOR OIL- apply over heals keep for 30 mins, then wash = thrice weekly =redcues localised swelling and pain

4)EPSOM SALT FOOT SOAK- add 2 tbsp in warm water, soak feet 15 mins- alternate days =soothing anti-inflammatory

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED your diet must reduce vata dosha, promote lubricatiob, and reduces inflammation

-Eat warm, soft, mildly spiced, and unctuous food. -avoid cold, dry, stale, and hard-to-digest items -freshly cooked meals are essential- avoid leftovers -drink warm water or herbal teas; avoid cold beverages

FATS AND OILS -ghee - 1-2 tsp/day- lubricates joints and reduces vata -sesame oil, olive oil- for cooking or massage -soaked almonds or walnuts- 5-6 daily(soak overnight, peel in morning)

GRAINS warm, soft cooked grains -rice(white or red), quinoa, millet-foxtail,kodo in moderation -avoid very dry grains like corn, oats(unless soaked)

PULSES -moong dal- light and vata pacifying -toor dal, mastro dal- well cooked with ghee and cumin

VEGETABLES cooked, warm veggies only. favour -pumpkin, carrot, sweet potatoes, spinach, green beans, beets -AVOID raw salads, cruciferous veggies like cauliflower, cabbage in excess

SPICES use warming and digestive spices -ginger, cumin, turmeric, black pepper, ajwain, asafoetida AVOID- chilli, excess garlic-can increase dryness if overused

DAIRY -warm cow’s milk with turmeric or nutmeg before bed -buttermilk(thin, spiced) for digestion -avoid cold milk or curd at night

FRUIT warm or room temperature fruits -stewed apples, ripe bananas, papaya, pears, figs, dates, raisins(soaked)

FOOD TO AVOID COLD DRY SNACKS= chips, popcorn, puffed rice->increase vata COLD DRINKS, ICE CREAM= aggravate vata and reduce circulation EXCESS PULSES= chana, rajma, urad dal->heavy and gas forming SOUR CURD OR CHEESE= increase inflammation(pitta+ama) EXCESS TEA/COFFEE= drying, overstimulation nervous system RAW SALADS= too rough and cold for vata constitution

YOGA AND STRETCHING FOR HEEL SPUR/PLANTAR FASCITIS

DAILY ROUTINE(20-30 MINS)

1)WARM-UP(5 MIN) -ANKLE ROTATION- 10 each direction -TOE CURLS AND STRETCHES -CALF PUMPING -MARCHING ON THE SPOT

ASANAS -TADASANA- 1-2 min= improves posture, foot strength -ADHOMUKHASANA- 1-2 min= calf , heel, and fascia stretch -VRIKASHASANA- 30 sec/leg= improves foot stability -SUPTA PADANGUSTHASANA- 1 min/leg= deep stretches of hamstring and plantar fascia -SETU BANDHASANA- 1-2 min= strengthens leg, improves circulation -VAJRASANA- 5 min after meals= aids digestion, pacifies vata

AVOID HIGH-IMPACT OR WEIGHT BEARING POSES LIKE JUMPING OR EXCESSIVE SQUATTING

PRANAYAM-5-7 MIN -ANULOM-VILOM= 5 min- balances vata, calms nerves -BHRAMARI= 3 min- reduces stress and pain perception

LIFESTYLE AND EXERCISE -do foot stretching daily gently -avoid walking barefoot on cold floors -wear soft sole footwear with heel cushion or orthotic support -avoid long periods of standing or sitting in one place -maintain a healthy body weight

Relief starts in 3-4 weeks, but full improvement may take 2-3 months with consistency

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

Those years were tough and full of grind but it gave me this solid, like really solid, foundation in classical Ayurvedic sciences. And yeah, not just bookish... real world side of it too. Now my focus honestly is to keep learning while helping real people—who come in with digestion problems or hormonal mess or mental stress or even chronic fatigue they can’t explain. Every case is diff, even if symptoms look same outside. That part makes me stop and look closer—what is vitiated? What system is overworking or under? My mind instantly shifts into that mode, trying to trace the imbalance and realign it without suppressin anything. Right now I’m still early in the field, but every patient, every prakriti I see adds a layer to how I understand dis-ease. I don’t rush, mostly just try to listen first... ppl are usually surprised when you sit n listen without cutting them off mid sentence. I don’t claim to fix everything but I do keep that long-term goal in mind—healing that lasts beyond just medicine course. My interest stays rooted in ahar, vihar, and herbal chikitsa. Working with traditional herbs in customized way, not some one-size-fits-all type. I feel Ayurveda demands patience, and yeah, I’m okay with that. Cuz body speaks when we slow down. And that’s what I try to bring in my work—space to slow down, observe, correct gently. Of course I mess up sometimes or miss smth small.. but I reflect and adjust. It’s all part of the practice. I wanna grow steady, keep that fire for real healing alive. This path’s not loud, but it’s deep. And I’m here for it.

Dr. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.
