Hello, Your mothers condition shows two major chronic concerns -Burning sensation in feet like neuropathic -Long term digestive weakness after major stomach surgery At age 84 with surgical history, Ayurveda focuses not on aggressive treatment, but soothing, nourishing, nerve-supporting, and digestive restoring care Ayurvedic view, BURNING FEET In Ayurveda, this is mainly due to -vata + pitta imbalance -weak nerves (tissue depletion) -poor circulation and dryness This causes -burning, tingling, heat sensation -worse at night CHRONIC STOMACH ISSUES After removal of 2/3 stomach + duodenum -digestive fire is severely weakened -food not properly digested-> toxins(ama) -leads to pain, poor absorption, weakness **Treatment goals -cool and nourish nerves -reduce burning -strengthen digestion gently -improve sleep and comfort -avoid strong medicines due to surgery history => Internal medication For burning feet and nerve support 1) Guluchyadi kashaya= 10ml + equal water twice daily before meals for 3 months =reduces burning, detoxifies, supports nerves 2) Ksheerbala 101 capsules= 1 cap twice daily after meals =best for vata disorders, nourishes nerves, reduces tingling, burning, sleeplessness 3) Brahmi capsule= 1 cap at night =calms nervous system, helps sleep For digestion 4) Dhanwantharam gulika= 1 tab once daily after food =supports weak digestion , improves absorption ,safe for elders 5) Jeerakarishtam= 10ml after meals with warm water =improves digestion without irritation, reduces gas and pain External treatment For burning feet 1) Ksheerbala taila= slightly warm oil apply on feet, gently massage for 15 min before bed =best for nerve cooling + nourishment , improves sleep 2) Coconut oil + sandalwood powder = apply on soles at night, immediate cooling effect 3) Foot soak (evening)= lukewarm water + pinch of rock salt, 10 minutes, reduces burning+ improves circulation Lifestyle -sleep= keep feet slightly elevated, apply oil daily before sleep Avoid -very spicy, sour, fried food -long gaps between meals -cold/raw foods hard to digest Follow -small, frequent meals -warm, soft, easy to digest food DIET -rice gruel -moong dal light protein -boiled vegetables bottle gourd, pumpkin etc -cow ghee small amount daily- improves digestion and nerves -buttermilk diluted, with cumin AVOID -chili, pickles -tea,coffee excess -dry foods biscuits, toast -fermented heavy foods Pranayam if she comfortable -Anulom Vilom= 5-10 min -chandrabhedana Simple movements -ankle rotations -gentle leg elevation Home remedies 1) Coriander water= soak 1 tsp seeds overnight, drink water in morning- helps reduce body heat 2) Ghee + warm milk if tolerated at night- improves sleep + nourishes tissues Duration of treatment -intiial relief= 2-4 weeks -stable improvement= 2-3 months -maintenance needed long term mild care Important precautions -avoid strong detox panchakarma due to age and surgery -use low doses only -monitor digestion closely -stop any medicine if discomfort increases Your mothers condition is manageable, not fully curable, especially due to age and surgery history. The aim is -reduce suffering -improve sleep -support digestion -maintain comfort With regular oil application, gentle internal medications many patients get significant relief in burning sensation and better quality of life Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you

I understand your concern—at her age and with such a major stomach surgery history, this kind of burning in the feet can be very disturbing, especially when it affects sleep. Let’s approach this gently and safely. she cannot tolerate internal medicines, we will focus on external + very mild support. 1. Cooling Foot Oil Massage Use dhanwantharam tailam or ksheerabala tailam Method: Slightly warm oil (lukewarm, not hot) Massage feet gently for 10–15 mins before sleep Focus on soles and toes Helps: burning, nerve calming, better sleep If burning is very high → mix a little coconut oil with it for extra cooling At 84 and with her surgical history, her body is delicate. External therapies will give relief, but root correction needs very personalized planning. If you want, I can design a very gentle, customized plan (including safest internal options if possible) specifically for her condition and digestion tolerance. You’re taking good care of her—let’s support her comfort and sleep step by step.
