Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Grusher Kaur, Feet and head are two extremeties of the body, throgh which body rejects excess heat. Ayurveda opines that heat rejected through feet is Ok but through head is undesirable. The excess heat is extensively discussed by Vinod in another message posted today. You should read that message along with this. For immediate relief, you can try following: Get up early morning and walk barefoot on green grass with dew. Soak during night 4 dates or 8-10 resins in a cup of water (125 ml) along with 1/2 tsp coriander seeds, 1/2 tsp cumeen seeds (both seeds coarsely ground) and take everything early morning empty stomach. Soak again for consuming in evening. Twice a day, apply cow ghee or castor oil to the feet bottom and massage for 10 minutes. When done at bedtime, this promotes good sleep also. We, in India, use a special cup to rub the bottom of the feet. The cup is made from an alloy of copper and zinc and tin. Such a cup is customarily given in Rajastan and Gujarat, to daughter when she marries, so that she can cure the insomnia/anger of husband by this simple remedy. The heat is rejected through feet now, cooling the head which promotes the sleep and reduces anger.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 I do not believe that vinegar and soda powder have the ability to solve this problem- try applying anti-fungal medicines if you can see cracks along the outsides of the soles or fungal infections between the toes - in India many people suffer from burning dry cracked feet from mold infections. If one does not have these cracks but just a feeling of burning or after trying anti-fungal medicienes cooling oils are helpful such as coconut or chandan - a good cooling combination is a few drops of chandan in coconut oil. Old washed ghee is extremly helpful for this condition. The traditional yoga therapy for this problem is simple til oil - because this problem is seen as a vata problem if no infections are present. One approach is to put oil on the feet and massage the feet well at bedtime and put on socks for sleeping. This will need long time use to ultimately help as this is often a deep disease of vata/pitta origin. Do rule out fungus and mold infections before giving up. Oil by itself will not be very useful in fungus infections. Yet if it is not an infection oil alone left on the feet continuously is often very helpful. Keep the feet clean and oiled. ayurveda, "dmaryan20042003" <dmaryan20042003> wrote: > Sat Nam, > I posted a message a few days ago but I have not got any response > yet.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Dear Gurusher Kaur, What happens when you do shoulderstand? You may want to try that. Since you do Kundalini Yoga and if you have the "Sadhana Manual", try doing the "Spine and Flexibility" kriya. It helps almost anything.
