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)

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

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
