Ayurvedic treatment for heel pain - Dr. Prashanth S Acharya

If you get a case of heel pain above the ages of 45, 50, sometimes 60, we have to rule out calcaneal spurs. But the calcaneal spurs is one of the commonest thing we see in the latter years, wherein it is very difficult to remove it surgically because the surgical pain is more than the pain of the heel. So that are the commonest thing? I will explain in detail how to handle this. In the evening about 7 to 7.30 take a wide mouthed vessel or tub and fill upto half or three fourth hot water and add crystalline salt, into the powdered iodized salt, if you can get rock salt there is nothing like it. Add a pinch of turmeric and keep both your feet in that water and keep it for 3 to 5 minutes and take it put and relax and add a mug of hot water to maintain the temperature and then repeat for 5 to 7 times. Once a day if you do this procedure it will relieve you of your heel pain in 7 to 10 days but inspite of this if there is heel pain then you need to contact your doctor. If there are many other causes like uncontrolled diabetes, you need to control your diabetes before you control heel pain. You might be wearing hard foot wear and try to change into soft foot wear. If your job is to stand for a long time, try to take breaks in between and try to do some stretches , you can prevent heel pain, in all these cases the home remedy I said does wonders.
