Kim’s Story with doTERRA Essential Oils and plantar fasciitis!

Roughly 10 percent of the adult population suffers from the type of heel pain known as plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the thick fascia tissues of the heels. It’s a common running injury and usually triggered due to overuse of the feet during exercise. It can affect either one heel at a time (usually in the dominant foot), or both simultaneously.

Try elevating the affected foot and applying an ice pack for 15 to 20 minutes, 2 to 4 times daily. Also, warm oil massages are extremely beneficial for your feet because they increase blood and fluid flow, speed up the healing process and break up scar tissue or adhesions that can harden. Massage the painful heel with your hands in circular motions for 15 minutes or more daily. Try warming up a small amount of doTERRA fractionated coconut oil and add doTERRA peppermint oil, marjoram, deep blue oil, white fir and lemongrass to decrease pain and swelling.
