Hello, Based on your history of chronic heel pain for 6–7 years, unbearable constant pain, worsening with walking/standing, and no nerve damage, this condition in Ayurveda closely correlates with Vatakantaka / Parshni Shoola (heel pain due to aggravated Vata with local inflammation).
Long-standing pain suggests Vata prakopa, associated Ama accumulation, micro-inflammation of ligaments/plantar fascia, and poor local tissue nourishment (Asthi–Majja dhatu kshaya).
Your treatment will focus on Vata shamana, inflammation reduction, Ama pachana, and strengthening of heel tissues.
🔎 Recommended Investigations (If not done in the last 6–12 months) 1. X-ray heel (lateral view) – to rule out calcaneal spur 2. ESR & CRP – to assess chronic inflammation 3. Vitamin D3 – deficiency commonly worsens heel pain 4. Uric Acid – to rule out inflammatory contributors
💊 Internal Medicines Phase 1 – 21 days (Pain control + Ama pachana + Vata balancing) 1. Yograj Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after meals 2. Rasnasaptak Kwatha – 15 ml with equal warm water, twice daily before meals 4. Shallaki plus(Boswellia) Capsules – 1 capsule twice daily after food
Phase 2 – 45 days (Tissue healing + strength + recurrence prevention) 1. Kaishore Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after meals 2. Ashwagandha Churna / Tablets – ½ tsp with warm milk OR 1 tablet at bedtime 3. Guduchi Satva – ½ tsp in warm water every morning 🌿 External & Panchakarma-Supportive Therapies 1. Abhyanga (Heel massage) – daily Use Mahanarayana Taila or Kottamchukkadi Taila Massage heel & sole for 10 minutes before bath 2. Nadi Sweda / Hot water fomentation – daily After oil massage, apply warm fomentation for 5–7 minutes 3. Upanaha Sweda (if possible at clinic) – 7–14 days Very effective for chronic plantar inflammation 4. At night Apply oil → wear cotton socks → rest
🥗 Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations ❌ Avoid (Aggravates Vata & pain) 1. Cold foods, ice water, refrigerated items 2. Excess dry foods, biscuits, bakery items 3. Tea/coffee excess 4. Walking barefoot on hard surfaces 5. Prolonged standing ✅ Include 1. Warm, freshly cooked food 2. Ghee – 1 tsp daily (lubricates joints) 3. Garlic, ginger, turmeric in cooking 4. Warm milk at night with a pinch of turmeric
👣 Foot Care & Support 1. Use soft cushioned footwear always 2. Silicone heel pad / orthotic support 3. Avoid hard floors & barefoot walking 4. Gentle stretching of calf muscles morning & evening
🧘🏻♂️ Yoga & Stretching (Pain-safe) 1. Tadasana 2. Vajrasana (only if pain allows) 3. Ankle rotations 4. Toe stretching exercises 5. Leg elevation for 10 minutes at night
Avoid high-impact yoga, jumping, or prolonged standing poses.
🕉️ Follow-up & Duration
• Pain relief usually begins in 2–3 weeks • Chronic cases need 8–12 weeks of regular treatment • External oil therapy is key — do not skip • Continue supportive herbs for 3 months to prevent recurrence
✨ With consistent Vata-pacifying treatment, local oiling, and foot care, even long-standing heel pain can significantly reduce and become manageable.
With kind regards, Dr. Sumi MS (Ayu)
Hlo, Tq for your question,
As per your query- -
Pain and abnormal sensations under the heel for many years are commonly due to chronic inflammation, plantar fasciitis, heel spur, or vata imbalance according to Ayurveda. Even when there is no nerve damage, long-standing dryness, strain, and micro-injury can cause such pain.
Ayurvedic approach for heel pain & inflammation 1️⃣ Externally- - Massage daily at night with Mahanarayan Taila or Ksheerabala Taila After massage, do hot water foot soak for 10–15 minutes Keep feet warm; avoid walking barefoot
2️⃣ Internal Ayurvedic medicines -
1) Mahayograj Guggulu 2 tab BD after meal with Luke warm water 2) Dashmool Kwath 20 ml BD with equal amount of water after meal 3) Ashwagandha churna 4 gm with milk at night
3️⃣ Local application (daytime) - Apply Rasnadi Lepam or Saindhavadi Lepam on the heel once daily
4️⃣ Simple home care advice - Avoid hard surfaces and prolonged standing - Use soft cushioned footwear - Do gentle calf and heel stretching exercises - Maintain regular sleep and digestion

I know how difficult it is to live with heel pain for so many years. When pain is there every day and becomes unbearable while standing or walking, it slowly affects both the body and the mind. The good part in your case is that there is no nerve damage, which means this pain is not permanent and the tissues can still heal.
In most long standing heel pain cases, the problem is due to chronic inflammation and strain over the heel area, gradually tissues become tight, weak, and poorly nourished. Painkillers usually suppress the pain for some time, but they do not repair the root problem, so the pain returns again and again.
For healing, focus on reducing inflammation and improving circulation. Ashwagandha capsule 1 Cap twice daily Yograj guggulu 1 tab twice daily Dashamoola kashayam 15 ml twice daily
massage the heel and sole with warm oil every night which will help to loosen tight tissues and improves blood flow. After massage, keeping the area warm for a few minutes gives better relief. Avoid walking barefoot, especially on hard floors, and wear soft, well-cushioned footwear even at home.
Soak your feet in warm water daily which will relax the heel and reduces pain
With regular care and patience, long standing heel pain will gradually improve. If the pain suddenly increases, swelling appears, or walking becomes very difficult, it is better to consult orthopaedician once
Heel pain and sensations over a prolonged period, can often relate to a dosha imbalance, primarily involving Vata dosha as it governs movement and nervous system in our body. First, let’s focus on some effective Ayurvedic practices that might assist you.
Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm oils like sesame or Mahanarayan oil, is excellent. Warm the oil slightly and apply it gently on your heel before bedtime and let it sit. This can help soothe Vata aggravation and reduce pain. Rhythm and even gentle pressure matter.
Diet plays a crucial role. Incorporate Vata-pacifying foods like warm, cooked meals. Avoid raw and cold foods. Ginger, garlic, and turmeric have potent anti-inflammatory properties - add them to your meals regularly. Turmeric can also be taken as a warm milk concoction; half teaspoon in a glass of warm milk before sleep can aid healing.
Consider herbs like Ashwagandha and Guggulu, known for their anti-inflammatory qualities. An Ayurvedic practitioner could prescribe the best dosage based on your constitution and needs.
Warm Epsom salt foot baths can relieve pain too. Add one to two tablespoons of Epsom salt in warm water, soak your feet for about 15-20 minutes daily.
Balance rest and activity – too much standing or walking aggravates this condition, take regular breaks to give your heels rest. Simple yoga postures like Vajrasana help improve circulation to the lower extremities.
Hydration is crucial in keeping Vata balanced, so drink warm water throughout day. However, if your condition persist or worsens, it’s vital to consult with a healthcare professional as an immediate intervention may be necessary.
