Burning feet

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

PATIENT-I have a very old problem of burning soles. The burning becomes more pronounced when the bowels are not clear. The burning is so great that even in winter I can’t put on socks. My digestion is good, and I have a good appetite. The pain has now become unbearable, and I have had it close to four decades now. Please suggest a treatment.

SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS:

Burning feet is a common complaint and can be caused by a number of conditions. It can keep people awake at night and be a source of continuous pain. It is more common in those over the age of 50 years but also can occur in younger age groups. The condition is more common in those with diabetes as part of nerve damage. A burning foot may be mild and local and easily treatable or it may indicate a more serious general medical problem that needs further investigation.

Many feet just ache and burn at the end of a long day, especially in those who are on their feet all day or who are overweight. Hot and sweaty feet can also cause a burning foot sensation. Sometimes vitamin deficiencies especially Vitamin B and blood disorders like anemia can cause burning feet and occasionally sensitivity to chemical substances in socks and shoes can also be a cause.

Naturopathy

Is the sugar level normal? Was any test done to detect the cause. Like nerve tests etc

To bring down the burning sensation cold mud application on the feet will help. Leave this mud on for 20-30 minutes. Do it once a day

Ayurveda

Application of Pinda Thailam and Kachithapinda thailam for 30 mins twice a day will be helpful. Satgiloe powder – ½ tsp with 2 tsp milk can be taken twice a day after food.

Homeopathy

Arnica is excellent for burning soles due to over exertion If the cause is Diabetes, medicines like Arsenicum Album, Acid Phos will help. Apis mel is useful if there is burning, swelling of feet with sharp pains. These medicines can be taken depending on the cause, 3 pills every 4 hourly for a couple of days. If there is not much of relief, a Homoeopathic physician has to be consulted where after a case evaluation, the constitutional medicines are prescribed.
