Heel Homeopathy
HEEL SPURS
A heel spur is a hook of bone that can form on the heel bone and is
associated with plantar fasciitis. About 70 percent of
patients with a plantar fasciitis have a heel spur that can be seen
on an X-ray. Heel spurs are common in patients with plantar
fasciitis and have a history of foot pain. However, it is
possible to have a heel spur without pain. The exact
relationship between heel spurs and plantar fasciitis is not
entirely understood.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
The plantar fasciitis is a ligament that connects the heels to the
toes. Tremendous stress is placed on the plantar fasciitis
because it is one of the major transmitters of weight when walking
or running. When a patient has plantar fasciitis, the plantar
fascia becomes inflamed and degenerative, making normal activity
quite painful. Typically symptoms are worse first thing in
the morning when the plantar fascia is tight and simple movements
cause pain. As it loosens, the pain may subside but return
after prolonged walking or standing.
HEEL HOMEOPATHY
In 80% of the cases, the pain mimicking "Plantar Fascitis" is
linked to the psychological state of high stress and strained
mind. If this is the case, a qualified homeopathic
practitioner should do a constitutional repertorisation to
determine the best heel homeopathy remedy. This remedy will
vary from patient to patient.

The homeopathic practitioner will check blood sugar, blood
pressure, and current foot wear to determine the heel homeopathy
remedy needed for Plantar Fascitis. Also, gastric problems
are equal to feet discomfort and pain.
1. Relief can be obtained by acu-pressure. Press
hard every centimeter on the sole of the foot, with the tip of the
hand-thumb for 5 seconds, hold and then release. Repeat on
the same area 2-3 times. Gradually cover the entire foot.
2. Most Beneficial: Add 10 ml Glycerin to a tub of
hot water (not warm). Submerge feet for al least 20 minutes
(up to ankles).
3. Heel Homeopathy remedy: Take Cal Flour-6X and
Silicea-12X. Four tablets each, four times a day until
symptoms subside.
For relief from heel spurs try the following heel homeopathy
suggestions:
• Apply an ice pack (in a towel) to the heel for 10 minutes, remove
it for 10 minutes. Repeat this process as needed but do not
leave the pack on for more than 20 minutes continuously.
• Special orthopedic shoes cushion and support the feet.
Depending on the cause of your pain, opt for heel pads or cups,
full-length inserts or arch supports. A heel pad or cup
slightly raises the heel and relieves some of the pressure on the
plantar fascia and reduces pain.
• Use herbal supplements to relieve heel pain. Boswellia can
reduce pain and swelling and Turmeric can reduce pain and stiffness
in the heel. Valerian and Rhus toxiodendron may help if the
heel is stiff in the morning.
