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. Neha Gupta
I am working in Ayurveda from a little over 2 years now, and sometimes I feel like each day pushes me deeper into understanding how metabolic disorders or skin issues or PCOD actually behave in differnt bodies. I rely a lot on evidence-based Ayurvedic practice, coz I like seeing a clear logic behind the diagnosis, even if I get stuck for a moment trying to figure out small details that dont fit right away. I dealt with many gastrointestinal problems too—things like bloating, indigetion or long-standing gut issues—and I try to look at them through the root-cause lens, not just the surface level symptoms. My way is kind of simple but also not simple, you know… I focus on Nidana, dosha imbalance, daily routines, stress pattterns, all that, and from there I build a treatment plan that actually feels personal to the patient instead of a readymade chart. Most people come to me wanting quick results but I keep reminding them gently that healing need time, and lifestyle modification matters more than they think. I follow a patient-first way of working… maybe I say it too often, but I really do sit with each person, asking small questions, checking prakriti-vikriti stuff, making sure they feel heard before I even suggest herbs or diet shifts. Sometimes I get a bit carried away with explaining the why behind treatments, but I feel it helps them trust the process. And that trust, plus the right Ayurvedic plan, usually leads to steady improvement in metabolic disorders, skin diseases, PCOD patterns and GI concerns. I keep trying to balance classical wisdom with a modern view, even if the flow gets a bit messy in my head at times. But overall my goal stays the same—helping people reach long-term wellness, not just a short break from symptoms.

Dr. Akshaj Rathore
I am working as an Ayurvedic Physician (BAMS) and most of my days kind of revolve around understanding how classical ayurvedic principles actually play out in real patients, not just in books. Sometimes I feel I look too deeply into small symptoms but it helps me catch things early, esp in acute or chronic diseases where the doshas shift fast and you need to track them carefully. I handle a wide range of conditions—lifestyle disorders like diabetes or obesity patterns, gynecological issues where women come with long-standing troubles that didn’t get proper attention, skin diseases that flare oddly with food or seasons, digestive disorders that go up and down with stress, joint pain that starts mild but bothers a person’s whole routine, and anorectal problems which people hesitate to talk about at first. I try to make them comfortable enough so they can share the details clearly, even when I am not sure if I am asking the question in the best way. Some days I feel my approach is little slow, other days I think taking time is actually the strength of ayurveda—doing proper nadi, agni, and lifestyle assesment rather than rushing. I like connecting everything back to the patient’s ahar-vihar, their small habits that they dont realise are affecting their health. I focus a lot on practical lifestyle correction, because when they actually follow it, the treatment response changes so much that it almost surprises me again and again. I use classical concepts for diagnosis and management, keeping each plan personalised instead of throwing the same remedy everywhere. Whether its chronic skin conditions or digestive imbalance or issues around menses, pcos-type patterns, or joint pain that needs long-term correction, I try to keep things simple but still precise. Maybe my method looks too straightforward sometimes, but it works for patients and that matters more to me than fancy words or heavy protocols. I keep learning with each case, and even on days when I feel unsure about a tiny detail, I remind myself that ayurveda gives enough tools to understand it if I just look a little carefully.

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. 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. 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. 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. Jatin Kumar Sharma
I am a BAMS graduate and currently running my own clinic, where I see patients on a regular basis and try to give them honest, practical care. My daily work involves understanding different health concerns, listening properly to what the patient is going through, and then planning treatment in a way that actually fits their routine. I believe treatment should not feel confusing or rushed, and sometimes even small changes make a big difference. Running my own clinic has taught me a lot about responsibility and consistency. Some days are busy, some are slow, but every patient brings a different challenge and learning. I focus mainly on Ayurvedic treatment methods, lifestyle correction and long-term health balance, rather than quick fixes. There are times when progress takes longer, but I stay patient and keep working with the person step by step. I try to keep my approach simple, practical and honest. For me, real success is when a patient feels better in daily life, sleeps better, eats better and slowly regains balance. That is what keeps me going and improving every day.

Dr. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

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. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?
