Equal measures of castor oil, shea butter oil, strong topical pain relief cream, and menthol crystals (sold on eBay). Mix together and apply topically twice daily.
Good luck.

tried everything, to heal my planter fasciitis, and had it for 11 months. I finally decided after trying everything from shoes to massages and more, that I’d try a three day fast to see if autophagy could help them. And miraculously, they were 90% better afterward! Then, I transitioned to barefoot shoes and they are now 100% healed! Just a couple of weeks after the 3 day water fast. I’m just so excited I no longer have foot pain every morning or when resting. The three day water fast was not easy, and I did not like it at all, but it was worth getting through for the healing. I do think if I could have lasted a whole week, they would’ve been 100%.

Get you a massage gun from Amazon - many to choose from. It will cut the pain almost immediately and begin the healing process. My daughter-in-law and I both had it at the same time and it worked for us both. She delayed getting one about 6 six weeks and was sorry she waited. Go slowly and on low speed and keep it moving over the bottom of the foot and over the calf muscles - beats anything else that I tried by far!!!!

What has helped most has been a massage gun recommended by a chiropractor. I got mine from Amazon and after using 3 times (twice a day) the pain was reduced at least 50%. I can now walk, more or less normally on that foot and it feels like a deep bruise instead of screaming agony, especially at night. I have been able to do some stand-up cycling on a little machine at home for about 1 mile before it aches and then I roll the foot on a golf ball and then do about 2 minutes of the massage gun. It feels so much better. My gait was so off for weeks that I activated arthritis in my opposite hip and have pain from that to heal now. I am using the massage gun on it now too. I now feel like there is an end in sight and want to share this with you. My massage gun with about 8 different massage heads was about $80 and I had to get a USB-C charger, which many people already have. Good luck with this as it is a real pain! I am glad I am retired and can stop when I have to and I really feel for people who have to work with this painful affliction.

Put a bottle of water in the freezer and at least once a day, when it’s inflamed, put a thin sock on and roll ur foot back and forth heel to toe over the frozen bottle10-20 min, then simply put the bottle back in the freeze for your next time.
This is also great for tired aching feet!
Zinc Chewables Helping Plantar Fasciitis Jacqs (Midwest, MO) on 08/21/2021
I’ve been experiencing mild to severe pain in my right heel and arch consistently for the past 4 months. Stretching helped but only slightly and temporarily. Mornings were extremely painful and walking any time of day was painful. When I stretched I experienced shooting pain but it provided temporary relief. I was stretching often throughout the day and in the night while sleeping hoping I’d be a bit more limber when I woke up but any relief was temporary… A few minutes or maybe an hour.
About 2 weeks ago I started taking zinc chewable supplements to boost my immune system (because Covid is increasing here) and I FELT NO PAIN ALL DAY in my foot!! I didn’t even realize it until the second day when I didn’t take zinc and the pain returned… so the third day I went back to the tablets every 3-4 hours and again I experienced NO FOOT PAIN! AT ALL!
I’ve been taking the zinc chewables regularly (11mg 3-4x a day) and I have SIGNIFICANTLY reduced the pain to nothing or just a mild discomfort in my foot. When I feel any discomfort it’s mild and usually after a long day. It does NOT hurt to get out of bed in the morning. Stretching my foot doesn’t create sharp shooting pains either! Am I crazy?!? This feels like a wonder drug / miracle!
(note: there are other inactive ingredients in the brand I’m taking; Ascorbic acid, crospovidone, magnesium stearate, sorbitol, starch, sucralose. I want to try a pill form (not chewable) but haven’t yet.)

Now, 4 months later, it is 95-100% cured and I have resumed running and hiking for the first time in a year. I say 95% because after doing 3 consecutive days of high intensity running and long distance hiking I can feel something in the heel but the pain is less than 1 on a 1-10 scale. I continue to run every day and still treat with laser and PEMF daily.

I have also wrapped my foot with a small towel soaked in apple cider and I covered it with a plastic bag before going to bed. Last night was the third night that I applied the apple cider to my foot and I am ecstatic! THE PAIN IS GONE!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! I am soooo grateful for the remedy I found in your website. APPLE CIDER DOES WORK! Thank you very much! Hurray!!!

I used DMSO on my friend's feet, with a thin layer of Castor Oil first, and then 3 drops of straight liquid DMSO, on each. He felt so much better after just 1 treatment! We are continuing this treatment. While doing a deep dive into how DMSO heals so efficiently, I found asStudy that said it heals by correcting the DNA back to what it's supposed to be doing, in whatever body part is sore. I order it from the DMSO store, online or it can be found at any good health food store in North America. Feel well, lovely Earthclinic community!

A couple of weeks ago I noticed my heel felt better after a shower, so I was thinking maybe heat is the answer. Then I was disappointed because a heating pad didn't do much, But then I tried moist heat and it has helped tremendously! I just heat up some water in a small saucepan and put my foot over the steam (be careful not to burn yourself!).

Homeopathic Remedies Cure Plantar Fasciitis Mollymg (United States) on 10/09/2020
When I was working as a food demonstrator in a large Texas grocery store, I developed Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot. It became steadily more painful, and I tried EVERYTHING to relieve it...ACV, Orthopedic inserts of all kinds, Wrapping my foot tightly with an Ace bandage, Rubbing in Arnica, Triflora, and other suggested salves, and NOTHING worked! My store director told me to get $800 orthotics like his...HA! That was sweet of him, but not at all practical! At the time, I was 67 and collecting SSI and a small paycheck each week.
FINALLY I searched the internet for "homeopathy for Plantar Fasciitis" and landed on my favorite homeopath's site!
https://joettecalabrese.com/blog/homeopathy-plantar-fasciitis/
I just happened to have Symphytum Officinale 200c and Rhus Tox 30c and I took 5 tiny sugar pellets of each under my tongue in order for the remedies to enter my system sublingually as they melted, away from food or menthol products. I repeated this dosage morning and night for about 4 days, and on the 5th day, I awakened and gingerly stepped onto my painful foot, and THERE WAS ZERO PAIN! I thought I was still dreaming, and I tried stepping on it at every angle my foot could turn, and by golly, there was no pain!!!
That was my best day ever, and after TWO YEARS, the pain has not returned, and as directed by homeopaths, I stopped taking the remedies that morning. I can't believe I waited so long, about 30 days, to even search for a homeopathic cure. Oh well, it is what it is!
I hope I didn't break any rules by posting the link to Joette's article on her blog. I just HAD to let all sufferers know that THERE IS A CURE, AND IT IS SOOO QUICK AND EASY! I used the brand "Boiron", which Joette likes to recommend, and it is quite easy to find on the internet. It is cheap, don't pay more than $10.00 for a tube, and both have zero side effects or restrictions. TRY THEM!! YOU WILL LOVE THEM!!

Zinc Helping Plantar Fasciitis Pain Sanjay P. (London, Uk) on 10/09/2020
Just to let you know. I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for a while however, for about a month now I have been taking 10mg Zinc tablets and the pain is almost gone. I wanted to check if it was the Zinc or not so I stopped taking it for a couple of days and the pain was back so since continuing with zinc the pain again is 95% gone.
Sauerkraut Help Chronic Pain From Foot Injury Overnight! Susan (Ca) on 10/28/2018
I injured my feet about 5 years ago (I fell getting out of the way of a bicyclist). They became very swollen and I felt like I was walking on railroad spikes (not pins and needles). I went to the doctor who said they didn't appear to be broken (I knew that). I walked around, painfully, for months until one day I decided that I needed to eat the sauerkraut in the fridge before it spoiled. The swelling was gone the next morning and about 75% of the blunt/sharp stabbing in the feet was gone, too. My feet aren't 100% and never will be. I'm a walker but I can't walk more than 3-4 miles a day now. They now get really really fatigued and become painful if I try to walk too much. But...sauerkraut gave me back my feet...who knew??? :)
Our bodies are supposed to heal themselves but it doesn't always work, especially when your'e older (I'm 64 now). You've heard, "Feed the gut, feed the brain"? Well, I say, 'Feed the gut, feed the whole body'.
