    Plantar fasciitis is a common condition causing heel pain, especially in those aged 40-60. It results from inflammation where the plantar ligament attaches to the heel bone, causing scarring and degeneration. Ayurveda views it as Vathakandaka, relating to pain from walking on uneven surfaces. Treatment focuses on avoiding causes like obesity and rest, along with applications of herbal pastes and poultices, oral medications, and stretching exercises to relieve pain and prevent recurrence.
