For your concern, addressing vitamin B12 and D deficiencies is crucial. Ayurvedic treatments often accompany such deficiencies with supportive therapies. A topical application could include using a paste of Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) leaves. To make this, crush fresh Guduchi leaves and mix with a small amount of water to create a paste. Apply this directly to the affected areas of your feet, leave for about 20-30 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. Guduchi is traditionally known for its ability to support nerve health and could help alleviate tingling and numbness.

Internally, consider incorporating dietary sources rich in B12 such as lentils and legumes, and D such as fortified foods into your meals with consultation from a nutritionist or a healthcare professional if needed. Exposure to sunlight during early hours, especially for Vitamin D synthesis, is beneficial though it must be indirect and not prolonged to avoid skin damage.

For additional nerve support, adding Ashwagandha as a dietary supplement could be considered. Begin with a small dose like 300-500 mg daily and gradually increase according to your body’s response and recommendations from a professional.

Practices of daily warm oil massages on your feet, using sesame or mustard oil, can enhance circulation and support nerve function. Avoid standing or walking for extended periods and consider elevating your legs intermittently through out the day to reduce swelling and discomfort. Always align your Ayurvedic practices along conventional treatments under the supervision of your healthcare provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.
