Our feet are probably the most burdened and the most neglected part of our body. When we move from one place to another when we want to sway to the beat of foot tapping music our feet help us do all of that, and we remember them when they scream for attention in the form of pain.
Gross neglect or misuse do not just cause foot pain, it can also be a warning sign of all not being well for us ( health issues), and even before we seek relief or treatment, we need to know the exact location of the pain.
The Location of Pain in your Feet can Help Identify the Problem too:
Heel Pain:
Pain in the heel could be a sign of Plantar fasciitis, which means an irritation or inflammation of the tissue that connects the bone and the toes. This kind of pain is the worst in the morning, and one feels it in the arch or the heel
For relief:
- Rest
- Foot and heel muscle stretches
- Shoes that give excellent arch support and have a cushioned sole.
Heel Spurs:
This is caused by abnormal bone growth at the bottom of one’s heel, which is the result of wearing ill-fitting shoes, incorrect posture and sometimes activities like running. A lot of people have them but not all feel the pain and people with flat feet, or no arches are more prone to have spurs that hurt.
For relief:
- Custom made insert( orthotic) inside the shoe is an ideal solution
- Rest
- Shoes that fit well and have shock-absorbent soles
- Wearing a cutout heel pad
- If the pain continues must consult your doctor
Stone Bruise:
As the name suggests this usually is an impact injury and happens when you step on a hard object (occurs on the heel or ball of the foot)
For relief:
- Rest
- Ice bath
Heel Fracture:
High impact injury can happen after a fall or accident. The bone might even crash and shatter followed by pain, swelling, bruising are signs that the bone has taken a beating( literally)
For relief:
- No pressure on the heel, use support
- The heel should be protected with a pad
- Use a splint or cast
- Physiotherapy
- And if pain continues your doctor might suggest surgery

Did you know that the pain in your feet could be because of so many reasons (and these are just a few)
Well now that you have been enlightened then you need to give your feet some relief in the form of Calmya for Bagdara farms.
- Calmya has a high curcumin content and is known for its most dynamic anti-inflammatory agent given by nature.
- Curcumin helps bring down the urate levels and also heightens the excretion of uric acid which helps in controlling gout.
- Curcumin regulates the protein activity which is related to the transportation of uric acid. Thus checking gout and in turn giving relief from pain in the foot caused by gout.
- The high Curcumin content in Calmya has a potent anti-inflammatory action, which helps keep inflammation under control. Once the inflammation is controlled pains and aches are also checked.
- This anti-inflammatory action is effective in bringing down the level of the enzymes that cause inflammation.
- The anti-oxidant action kills free radicals that harm the healthy cells and cell tissues.
With all the pharmacological properties in Curcumin, your feet are in good hands at least when it comes from being free of pain with Calmya.
