Heel pain has become an increasingly common issue in recent times. Prolonged standing, excessive walking or running, weight gain, and ageing can all contribute to persistent discomfort. While over-the-counter medications and painkillers may offer short-term relief, their effects are often temporary. In such cases, traditional home remedies, used for generations, can still prove highly effective. One such remedy involves Indrayan, a medicinal plant commonly known in villages as Tumba.
This remedy is simple, safe, and remarkably effective. Indrayan, or the Tumba plant, produces a round fruit that turns greenish-yellow when ripe. In Ayurveda, it is regarded as a powerful treatment for pain, inflammation, and particularly heel pain.
How To Use Indrayan For Heel Pain?
Take a fresh Indrayan (Tumba) fruit and roast it thoroughly in hot ashes, traditionally from a wood-burning stove or fireplace.
Once it becomes soft from the inside, cut the fruit in half.
Before going to bed, place the warm halves directly onto your heels and secure them with a clean cloth.
Leave this overnight and remove it in the morning. Repeat this process for three consecutive nights.
Even chronic heel pain, no matter how severe, is said to ease significantly. According to many who’ve tried it, the pain is often reduced by half after just one night, and disappears completely within a few days.
Tumba Fruit: Health Benefits
The reason this works lies in the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of the Indrayan or Tumba fruit. When applied warm, its active compounds seep into the nerves and tissues of the heel, reducing swelling and stiffness, which helps alleviate the pain.
Heel pain affects millions today, but age-old remedies like this continue to offer relief without the side effects of medication. This natural, village remedy is not only effective but also easy to try at home.
If you’ve been struggling with heel pain for a while, give this traditional treatment a go; you may notice a real difference within days.
