I have been suffering from heel pain for almost 2 years now. Sometime it subsides but has never gone completely. What natural healing methods can I follow to cure it completely?

Sumeetji

First step is if You can find the reason of your pain , half the pain will be healed by our realisation.

Here are some reasons , if you can match with your reason , any of them.

✔️ Lack of Sound Sleep

✔️ uneven Sitting Posture

✔️ Repetative Overeating

✔️ Late night Food

✔️ Addiction of Tea or Coffee

✔️ Junk Food and Stale food

✔️ Lots of unwanted physical excertion

Awareness and relaxation both requires for Healthy Happy Lifestyle.

These are easy to follow preventive lifestyle steps. 

Getting an X-ray done is the priority which will help you identify the cause of it, it can be due to calcaneal spur or plantar fasciitis.

If any of the above issues comes the ideal would be to start wearing padded footwear to help you give good relief.

Do heel exercise and do not give much stress to heel by standing to prolong.

Take care.

Good Afternoon,

I was also facing the same issue for quite sometime but I have noticed that when I am well rested I do not feel the pain.
Actually we try everything and forget the sleeping part so do try to sleep for 7-8 hours per night, try to sleep early by 10-11 pm also take a break for a while during day time. Even at work we can close our eyes for say 5 to 10 mints after lunch.
In addition dip your feet in warm water with Alum in it. It will give you great relief.
I am sure it will help.
Take care
 

Hi Sumeet, I have worked with the people who had heel pains. One of the major reasons has been consumption of acidic foods such as a dairy meat eggs or fish . Occasional consumption of any of these things also create havoc. Pain is a concentration of toxins in one particular part of the body. A sedentary lifestyle also does not help. Animal products leech calcium from the bones. 

1 ) Avoid animal products in all forms 

2) practice yoga and pranayama for sometime daily 

3) Sun exposure for 30 mins

4) soak your leg in cold and hot water for 5 mins each for 20 mins daily for few days. Then after pain is no more, soak leg in regular water with rock salt for 20 mins. 

5)check if the footware is comfortable 

6) practice foot exercises daily

7) emotional and physical stress must be balanced. 

8) Avoid any refined flour / oil based foods. 

9) practice gratitude and blessings on a daily basis

Be blessed

Heel pain points out 3 things :

First: Sub-optimal repair and cleansing by body

The body is performing 3 functions primarily Cleansing, Repair and assimilation. Due to lifestyle (food, sleep and nature connect), our body starts functioning sub-optimal levels as it is working towards survival and compromising on functions. Please review your morning routine and sleep routine. Please make sure your first 60 minutes after you wake up (cleansing) and last 60 minutes when you go off to sleep (repair) you are off electronic gadgets. In the morning 60 minutes do simple exercise like walk, breathing. In evening routine build things like meditation, breathing. This change can make a significant shift within 2-3 weeks

Second: Poor posture

In the modern lifestyle, we have been subjected to a sedentary lifestyle which is in contrast to our genetic programming of being on the move and active. This leads to losing our muscle strengths and affects our posture. So, try to be mindful when you are walking, sitting. Make sure you do not sit on the for more than 45 minutes at stretch or even 30 minutes. Take a break and a short 3-minute walk and stretch.

You can learn the Alexander technique for correcting your posture

Third: Old injury

Third, a possible reason could be an old injury which has not healed properly. usually sports and accident injuries take time to heal. Usually, people for practical reasons suppress the pain through medication and do not give enough time to heal naturally. This results in injuring flaring up in future. You can always see a medical practitioner to guide you.

In meanwhile I suggest the following:

Apply ginger juice mixed in coconut oil on heel every night before sleep

Take foot baths (soak the foot in lukewarm water or normal water for 15 minutes in morning and evening) If time is too short keep your foot in running water for few minutes.

Dear Kapoor, In absence of any medical history of yours I feel handicapped to pin point the real cause. Many Ayurvedic, homeopathic, allopathic medicines contains heavy metal such as mercury lead,gold, silver has a tendency to get lodged in lower extremities especially legs. It is very difficult to dislodge mercury and its salts from the body even by natural means. Firstly you should avoid wearing synthetic,PVC soled shoes, since they may have a allergic reaction with the skin. Secondly wear leather sandals or chappal to allow an air column  and allowing air to cool down the extra heat generated. Generally the painful part of the body has more heat in comparison to other parts. Needless to mention that diet should be pre dominantly alkaline to the maximum possible limit. Walk bare footed on early morning grass lawns. Expose your feet to the morning sunlight for 30 to 40 minutes followed  immersion in cold water. Avoid using heavy denim jeans since it doesn't allow air passage in the legs thus depriving the legs much needed fresh air hampering blood circulation in the legs. Surely it will take care your discomfort.

Namaste,

Leg pain is a very common medical condition that occurs due to constant wear and tear of the knee joint.

Pain in the leg can be caused by weakened bone structure, and wear and tear due to ageing. Other common causes include fractures, ligament injuries, dislocation of the knee joint and stiffness in the joint due to arthritis, lupus and other chronic ailments.

Overweight or stiffness in the knee also possible.

Wrap a handful of ice cubes in a thin towel.
Apply the compress to the affected knee area for 10 to 20 minutes.
Do this two or three times daily until your pain is gone.

Prepare a mixture by adding two tablespoons of cayenne pepper powder in one-half cup of warm olive oil. Apply this paste on the affected area twice daily for at least one week.

Crush a small piece of fresh ginger root, add to one cup of water and boil it for 10 minutes. Strain and add a little honey and lemon juice. Drink two to three cups of this ginger tea daily until the pain is gone.

Take care.
