How to heal dry and cracked soles through Ayurveda?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query.

There might be many causes for cracked heels like dry atmosphere, wearing ill-fitted or sole shoes and standing for very long as this may add extra pressure on feet, walking barefoot, not maintaining proper foot hygiene, sometimes diseases like psoriasis, eczema or thyroid disorders, etc. If you have any of the mentioned causes, then you need to prevent it. Here, I am suggesting the treatment for cracked feet.

Dip your feet in lukewarm water and wash them with mild soap. You can also use mild herbal shampoo forwashing your feet. Use a pumice stone to wash the heels. This will remove the dead skin and will exfoliate the feet. Then, apply vegetable oil like coconut oil or olive oil on heels and on feet and wear cotton socks overnight. Try this regularly and you will see that the heels will start healing within three to four weeks. Take an

Ayurvedic lotion named Cutfar ointment (Vipadikahar Malam, Jatyadi Oil) and applied on the affected part two times a day. If you face difficulty in finding this ointment, then you can look for Dermex ointment (Acidum Boracicum, Acidum Carbolicum, sulphur) or Jatyadi ghrita (Jati, Nimbapatra, Patolapatra). Apply any of these twice a day and you will see positive results on regular application.

Prefer to wear comfortable shoes while going outside as compared to flutters or sandals as this will protect your heels from dry air, dust, and the external environment and help them heal soon. In case you notice some abnormal skin discoloration or some other problem, then do visit a nearby dermatologist. Otherwise, on regular application of the above-mentioned, you will soon feel positive results.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
