Heel pain is also very common, especially in elderly people. Like knee pain, most heel pain is either due to water retention or inflammation, or ligament malnourishment. 

• In 2019, I had a client who was referred to me by a massage therapist, for the moxibustion. When I checked him, he had a lot of little water blisters on the bottoms of his feet. He was doing construction work, and he couldn’t walk because it was so painful. His massage therapist could even feel the water under the skin. And fortunately, this massage therapist knew about me and moxibustion. So, instead of treatment at our clinic, I just gave him some moxibustion stickers and told the client how to do it simply at home. He followed my instruction, and he later told me that he felt much better, even after the first round of treatment at home. And he told me his massage therapist also mentioned that he felt the difference in the skin right after his first moxibustion.

My dad also had heel pain for a while. I gave him a convenient moxibustion jar to put at the inner side of the ankle. He felt much better after this.
