Swelling in the feet, along with aches in the fingers and knees, can often be indicative of imbalances in the body's Vata and Kapha doshas, especially at the age of 55. In Ayurveda, this combination of symptoms could be related to issues such as poor circulation, fluid retention, or joint inflammation, which can be aggravated by thyroid imbalances.
To address these issues, it is crucial to focus on both dietary and lifestyle modifications. Incorporate anti-inflammatory foods into your diet, such as turmeric, ginger, and garlic, which can help reduce swelling and improve circulation. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet that includes plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins will support your overall health.
Herbal remedies such as Guggulu, Ashwagandha, and Shallaki can also be beneficial in managing joint pain and inflammation. You may consider a consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can prescribe specific formulations tailored to your condition.
In terms of lifestyle, elevating your feet when resting can help reduce swelling, and gentle exercises or stretches can improve circulation. Regularly practicing yoga or gentle physical activity can also aid in alleviating stiffness and improving flexibility in the joints.
Lastly, consider warm oil massages using oils infused with herbs like Mahanarayan oil or Ksheerabala oil, which can help soothe aching joints and promote relaxation. If symptoms persist or worsen, seeking further evaluation from a healthcare provider is essential to rule out any underlying conditions and ensure a comprehensive approach to your health.

Swelling in your feet, along with aching fingers and knees, could indicate an imbalanced condition in the body — classic signs that there might be an excess of Vata or maybe Kapha, often mixed. But don't worry, Ayurveda has some wonderfully comforting ways to address these things.
Start with your diet. Try to consume warm, moist, and grounding foods like soups, stews, and cooked vegetables. Avoid things that are cold, dry, or raw (salads aren't your friends right now) since they can aggravate Vata. If Kapha's involved, reducing dairy, sugar, and processed foods might help. Spices like ginger, turmeric, and black pepper can be great allies! These not only enhance digestion but also have anti-inflammatory properties.
Take a peek at your daily routine, too. A regular schedule helps keep those doshas in check. Incorporate gentle exercises like yoga or a leisurely walk. But if it hurts to stand, make sure you listen to your body and don't overdo it. Find that sweet spot where you're moving, but not straining.
Consider massage therapy with warm sesame oil or mustard oil. It's soothing, especially for Vata issues, and can aid in reducing stiffness and increasing warmth in the joints and muscles. A daily self-massage can work wonders for your mind too!
Lastly, agni – or digestive fire – plays a huge role in how your body deals with inflammation. Don't ignore it. Digestive teas or herbal blends (ginger tea is a popular choice) can be a simple way to boost digestion without too much fuss.
If symptons persist, particularly the burning in your heels, it might be wise to touch base with a healthcare pro to rule out any underlying issues that could need more specialized care. It’s all about balance and tuning into what your body’s trying to tell you.
