Raw Horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum) or Fenugreek seeds powder 2 spoons, add 1 spoon sesame oil, add crushed rock salt 1 spoon, add vinegar (apple cider vinegar) 1 spoon mix with 2 spoons curd. Mix all these well and apply this paste on the whole affected area (the heel and of feet). Wrap the paste using cotton gauze/ band / mesh / old socks. Leave it over night and wash off next day. The pain will reduce, and may go in 3 or 4 days. May have to continue for some more days in severe cases or when it recurs.. This is due to calcium or other salt deposits in the bones in the area (heel / foot).
Vinegar in warm salt water with baking soda and or epsom salt, and or a few yellowing leaves of Yerukku (Botanical name : Calotropis gigantea, Family : Asclepiadaceae) can be used to immerse the affected parts to soothe pain with .

I tried all of the above but religiously took 3 capsules of calcium for a little over 2 months & pain has diminished quite a bit. I can rotate my ankle with slight pain, it’s a huge improvement.

I am also going to the physiotherapist twice per week - I do exercise, which also helps along with the physio massaging and icing the area. I am thankful for this website and ACV. I know that not all remedies works for everyone, but ACV REALLY, REALLY works for me.
NB I’ve also had to reduce my physical activity such as Zumba and walking. Glad I’m on break as my foot needed to rest.

After about 2 weeks of suffering from heel pain in my right foot, making it very difficult to walk- I made the ACV, blackstrap molasses and baking soda drink this morning - the difference is amazing. The pain has largely subsided compared to just a day ago, after just 1 glass. I plan to make another one and continue with 2 glasses a day until the pain has completely gone. I did experience diarrhea this morning but it did not last long.

I have had heel spurs for 8 weeks. In a lot pain. I had x-ray ultra scan which showed a heel spur flat arch. I had a shock wave treatment which didn't help much so I tried Apple vinegar wraps. brown paper bag soaked in a cup of vinegar. Brown bag in old slippers when home. changed when dry to wet moist ones. I started with 5 times a day for only day 3 and no pain. I kept it up for two weeks but such a relief to walk on heel again.
Try it, it works ð¦¶ð
Heel Spur and a Common Homeopathic Remedy That Worked - Calc. Fluor 6X Art (California) on 09/25/2021
So he started with the homeopathic remedy for heel spurs (Hyland's Calc. Fluor. 6x) of which I ordered him a bottle of 500 tablets and told him to follow the directions on the bottle for adults.
Recently I asked him how his foot was doing since he had been taking the remedy for about two months. He thought for a moment, smiled, and said, "You know, I had completely forgotten about it because it hasn't been hurting anymore!" I just smiled back at him.
So This is the homeopathic remedy he used :
I asked him to see his bottle and it still had some pellets left in it, so he had not used all of the 500 tablets.

I use this on my hips and joints and it does work! I can't find anything (in english) as to why it works. If you speak russian, there is plenty. Here is a TV Show from Moscow I found about the use of iodine in russian medicine but I can't understand it.

I start in the a.m. I place a 3 x 3 gauze pad soaked in Apple Cider Vinegar then wrap my heel in saran wrap and place a sock over my foot to hold it in place. I wear this all day.
I also drink 1 tab Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with 1 tab. raw honey in a glass of water 2 x a day.
Before bedtime, I remove the wrap and soak my foot in a tub with 1/4 cup epsom salt dissolved in warm to hot water for about 10 to 15 minutes pat dry and then rub with foot cream to soften the peeled looking skin (some skin falls off but don't pick at it)
Do this for 2 to 3 weeks. It will feel better. Gloria

Well, it's been less than 24 hrs and it seems to be working: a lot less pain, it's almost gone, went from about a scary 9 to a reassuring I'll be normal again 2 on a pain scale, and that's a big improvement. I feel grateful to Earth Clinic and Earth Clinic posters. Thanks everyone! Even tho I have no idea why ACV, molasses, and baking soda works to resolve this painful condition, I'll keep doing this till it is gone and I can walk pain free. I don't think you can get into much trouble making concoctions from what you've already got in the kitchen. Doctors are great when you need them, but it's really nice when you don't. :)

Borax for Heel Spurs Mama To Many (Tennessee) on 07/27/2016
Somewhere along the line I started to give him borax 4-5 days a week for something else. While the dose for men is 1/4 teaspoon in a liter of water sipped through the day, this was too much for him. Instead, I put 1/16th of a teaspoon in his water for work (total of about 6 cups of water.) And he drank this through the day.
Over the course of many months, maybe a year, the heel spurs decreased in size, significantly and are barely noticable now. It took years to develop them, so it is not unreasonable to expect it to take a long time to heal. Though some people seem to experience relief more quickly with some remedies. Perhaps if his gut could have tolerated a higher dose, it would have worked more quickly.
But it worked for him. I could tell he moved gingerly when he first got up in the morning from the pain in his feet. He doesn't do that now.
Apparently borax can help to balance the calcium-magnesium balance in the body. I am guessing this is why it worked. For some, magensium supplementation works. But the easiest remedy for him was a bit of borax daily.
