burning palms and feet - #7716
I’ve been experiencing a persistent sensation of burning palms and feet, especially during the evening or after long hours of work. The discomfort is often accompanied by redness and occasional tingling, making it hard to relax or sleep. I’m curious about what causes this condition and how it can be treated naturally using Ayurveda. From what I’ve read, burning sensations in the palms and feet could be linked to an aggravated pitta dosha, which leads to excess heat in the body. Poor circulation, nerve-related issues, or deficiencies like low vitamin B12 or iron might also contribute. How does Ayurveda approach these potential causes, and what remedies are most effective for soothing burning sensations? I’ve come across suggestions like applying cooling oils (e.g., coconut oil or sandalwood oil) to the palms and feet. Are these effective, and should they be combined with other therapies like foot soaks using neem or vetiver water to enhance the cooling effect? Dietary adjustments also seem to play a role in Ayurveda. Should I avoid heat-producing foods like spices, fried items, and caffeine while including cooling foods like cucumbers, coconut water, and buttermilk? If anyone has dealt with burning sensations in the palms and feet, I’d love to hear what worked for you. Did you try specific Ayurvedic formulations, such as Triphala or Guduchi, for detoxifying and balancing pitta dosha? Were there complementary practices, like yoga or pranayama, that helped alleviate symptoms? Lastly, should I consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan, or are there general remedies and lifestyle changes I can safely try at home? I’m looking for a holistic and sustainable way to address this condition while improving my overall health.
