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.
