A growth on the bone of the back of the foot makes it difficult to move painlessly. Treatment of heel spurs with medical bile has become widespread because it can be done at home. This recipe has come into modern times from ancient medical books and will not lose its relevance as long as people suffer from this illness.
The reasons for the formation of a growth are defective salt metabolism, flat feet. If you are overweight, this aggravates the situation. The spur can be seen in a picture taken with an X-ray machine. It greatly changes the usual structure of the heel so that a person’s gait and shoe size change. In especially severe cases, the patient cannot move. To alleviate the patient's condition, the first remedy is bile. It is sold in pharmacies without a prescription.
Symptoms of a heel spike:
Physiotherapy is the first thing a doctor prescribes after examining a patient diagnosed with a spur. Among the most common types of treatment are:
The doctor will prescribe painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs. They cannot be used for a long time. They have side effects. There are also pharmaceutical ointments to relieve heel pain, but they do not help everyone and not in all cases. Physiotherapy alleviates the condition, but does not completely eliminate the disease. In this case, you need to attend procedures for a long period. It's easier to treat your heel at home.
Medical bile is a drug that has long been patented; it is created in pharmaceutical production. It is based on natural bile of pigs or cattle. The medicine has analgesic and anti-inflammatory characteristics.
The use of bile begins with the first signs of the disease. Among the ailments that can be eliminated with this drug:
It is necessary to strictly follow the recommendations of traditional healers and the doctor’s instructions in the use of bile. Therapy will be gradual. It is necessary to achieve pain relief, relieve inflammation, warm the foot, due to which the heel spur will begin to resolve. This remedy should be used with caution or avoided by people who have:
Bile should not be applied to the heels of children under 12 years of age. The effectiveness of the drug is reduced when used simultaneously with herbs, flowers and roots. Among them are compositions with clover, peony, licorice, hops, thyme, and parsley.
Medical bile for heel spurs has been used for a long time and very actively. Some traditional medicine reference books talk about getting rid of spurs within a week. But you shouldn’t be so deluded, since all reactions of our body are individual, and the result does not always come instantly. Removing a spur requires persistence and patience. Complete relief can occur after several dozen procedures. Treatment should be carried out in combination.
The point of treatment is to apply compresses to the heel area. All recipes say that the procedure should be carried out at night. For this you will need:
Moisten the fabric with bile, which you have shaken vigorously beforehand, and apply the flap to the sore spot. Then wrap it in film and bandage it. Put on a sock. It's better if it's wool. Remove the bandage in the morning and wipe your heel with alcohol. There is no need to wash this area. So you need to use bile for 25 days without breaks. If the pain has gone away after the 10th procedure, do not stop treatment.
In some sources, authors recommend not using cling film in a compress, since it does not allow air to pass through, and its use can lead to burns. Instead, it is recommended to use special compress paper.
Lotions with bile and red pepper. You need to take:
Mix the ingredients in a container and cover with a polyethylene lid. Leave for 3 days. After this period, strain the composition. Make compresses using the same technology as described above. Store the product in the refrigerator. Shelf life is a week. During this time, place a new infusion in a dark place to continue the course of treatment continuously for 20-25 days.
To get rid of the disease, medical bile is mixed with vodka or alcohol diluted to 40-45 degrees. You will need 40 g of bile, 20 g of vodka and the same amount of shampoo. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and apply compresses at night.
At the beginning of treatment, doctors recommend applying mixtures or pure bile applied to fabric, not directly to the sore spot, but through a piece of bandage or gauze. Only after several procedures, when it becomes clear that there is no allergy or burn, can compresses be applied directly to the skin. Some experts advise washing your feet thoroughly in the morning after removing the lotion and only then wiping them with alcohol. Don't forget to apply foot cream to the area. This will relieve dry skin. You can carry out up to 30 procedures in a row. Many therapists write that before each use of bile, the heel needs to be steamed.
Fresh knotweed grass is placed in shoes and walked throughout the day. The next morning the grass is replaced with new grass. In this case, bile compresses are used at night. The procedures should be done for 7-10 days.
Egg and vinegar will help, our grandmothers said. You need to put a whole (unbroken) egg in 100 g of vinegar (70%). Leave until the shell dissolves. It will take 2-3 days. Then remove the film and pour the egg into the same vinegar. Melt 200 g of unsalted butter and add to the vinegar and egg. Mix. You can use a mixer for these purposes. Rub the product into the sore spot. It is recommended to apply it on gauze as a compress and cover it with film. On top is a sock. The course of procedures is 10 days. After using the product, the skin on the heels will gradually peel off. This is a natural reaction to vinegar. During the update period, manipulations can be suspended. Then continue until the disease disappears.
Collect fresh nettles and pass the herbs through a meat grinder. Place the pulp on a thoroughly washed burdock leaf and secure the product with a bandage. Do such compresses at night. If you don't have to go to work, you can wear the bandage all day. After a day, remove and wash your feet.
Dig up the orris root, wash it and chop it. Insist on alcohol. It will take 150 g. The product must be kept in a dark place for 15-20 days. Afterwards, make compresses according to the same principle as described above. Be sure to take it off in the morning. Wash your foot. You need to apply lotions every other day, and in between, smear the affected area with Vaseline at night. The course of such alternation should continue for 3 weeks.
Spread the heel with honey and place a piece of regular yeast-free dough (water-flour) on top. Wrap up the sore spot and put on a sock. Keep for at least 3 days. Afterwards, remove the compress and wash your foot. Do the following procedure until the spurs go away.
Grate the laundry soap and melt it in a steam bath. Apply the mixture to the affected area in the same way as in the above recipes. Do it every day until the disease is completely eliminated.
In between treatments, do not forget to take time to massage your heels. One of the ancient methods is to rub the sore spot on a felt boot or felt surface.
While treatment is ongoing, you need to protect your foot as much as possible from painful contact with hard surfaces by removing the load from the foot.
A foam pad in the shoe or a special device will help with this - a shoe is cut out of rubber and laid along the back of the shoe so that the sole does not come into contact with the insole when walking. Avoid injuring the sore spot. This will make the treatment even more effective.
A heel spur is a dangerous, painful growth of bone tissue located in the heel bone, causing the plantar fascia to become inflamed. The disease is the cause and causative agent of intense pain, gait is disrupted, lameness appears, and the affected limb becomes bent. Soft tissues are injured and the normal motor activity of the human body is disrupted. In most cases, the occurrence of spurs is explained by foot injuries, excess weight or wearing tight shoes, accompanied by metabolic disorders.
Official medicine offers conservative and surgical treatment of the disease. A popular and effective conservative way of fighting is to treat heel spurs with medical bile.
The popularity of medical bile is explained by its advantageous characteristics:
The use of medical bile for conservative treatment has certain disadvantages:
Bile is used to effectively treat heel spurs. It is characterized by properties that allow it to take part in the process of digestion, absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins (processes occurring in the small intestine). Being a secretion of liver cells, medicinal bile has been used since ancient times to combat various diseases.
In the modern drug market, pharmaceutical companies offer bile obtained from cattle and pigs. Heel spurs are treated with the help of a medicine presented in canned form. Pharmaceutical manufacturers add drugs to medical bile:
The medicine is sold in bottles of 50, 100 and 250 ml. Vials must be stored in the refrigerator. Before using medical bile, you should shake the container, then apply compresses to the affected area. On average, the treatment course, thanks to which a heel spur can disappear, lasts from three to thirty days. If necessary, conservative therapy using medical bile is repeated for one to two months.
There are two methods of dealing with heel spurs: conservative and surgical. A less radical method of treatment is not recommended for all patients. The use of bile depends on the recommendations of a specialist. Among the contraindications to the use of bile as a drug against heel spurs, we will pay attention to the characteristics:
To combat heel spurs, doctors recommend undergoing a preliminary diagnostic examination and using other methods included in the complex of conservative treatment:
The most effective way to use medicinal bile is a compress. To prepare a compress, you must first prepare clean gauze by folding it in several layers (4-6 layers). Instead of gauze, you can use canvas fabric (folded in two layers).
The medicine is shaken, the bandage is moistened and applied to the location of the heel spur. To secure the prepared gauze, use a tubular bandage, supplied complete with an elastic band. You can insulate your foot with a thin layer of cotton wool, wrapping the compress in canvas paper and wearing a wool sock. Do not use a plastic bag, which blocks the skin's breathing and provokes the development of a foot burn due to the biologically active components of bile. In canned form, medical bile is offered freely, without a doctor’s prescription.
The bandage should be put on overnight, in the morning it should be removed, and the skin should be washed thoroughly with warm water and soap. The heel is wiped with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol or cologne. After treating the skin, lubricate the foot with a nourishing cream that softens the skin.
If the bandage dries out quickly, doctors recommend regularly refreshing it with a few drops of bile (dilute it with a small amount of boiled water). Sometimes the compress is accompanied by excessive burning: then put a cloth pad on it to prevent irritation and burns.
The compress should be applied for twenty sessions, the first result appears during the first week of conservative treatment.
For a quick effect, add red hot pepper pods to the bile. To prepare this compress, mix the ingredients:
The container with the above ingredients is closed with a lid and polyethylene, placed in a cool, dark place for 3 days. After straining, leave in the refrigerator. The shelf life of a compress made from medical bile and red pepper is no more than seven days.
To prepare a compress, prepare:
Regarding the last two ingredients, either soap or shampoo is used for the compress. The above method of using a compress is also recommended for this type - from vodka and bile. In this combination, bile penetrates the skin better due to the action of vodka. The shampoo softens the skin, reducing discomfort (burning and tingling).
Among the popular methods of treating heel spurs, an option should be highlighted: after the feet have been steamed (at least half an hour in hot water), apply cotton wool with medical bile (exclusively to the spur area: otherwise there is a risk of burns). To secure the cotton wool, use a short length of polyethylene. Bandage your foot tightly, put on a warm sock and let your foot rest. Such actions should be repeated regularly every evening for two months - this is the average time to achieve the desired positive result.
In most cases, compresses are used to combat heel spurs in the early stages of the disease. In advanced cases, it is impossible to do without surgical intervention when the bone formation is removed on the heel bone. In any case, the appearance of a heel spur should be accompanied by a mandatory visit to a doctor, who, after diagnosis, will be able to determine effective methods of treating the disease. The need for such a visit is explained by the fact that the use of medical bile can be accompanied by the appearance of not only positive effects, but also undesirable complications, such as:
The sooner you start treatment, the sooner you will get a positive result. It should be noted that medical bile can be purchased at a pharmacy without a mandatory doctor’s prescription.
Heel spur or plantar fasciitis is a painful growth on the back of the heel bone, accompanied by inflammatory and degenerative processes. Today there are many ways to treat this disease, including laser and ultrasound therapy, the use of corticosteroids, physical therapy, and surgery. Doctors often recommend additional treatment of the disease with bile.
Treatment of heel spurs with medical bile can increase the effectiveness of other methods of therapy and help eliminate pain and inflammation. It is not used as the main treatment, as it is not able to completely cure heel spurs, especially in advanced stages of the disease. However, as an adjuvant it can be very useful.
Medical bile is a natural medicine that can be purchased at a pharmacy without a doctor’s prescription and is inexpensive. Therefore, it is very popular for use in both traditional and folk medicine.
The drug is prescribed for pathologies of the spinal column, joints, and soft tissues. It is used independently or included in compresses and lotions used in the complex treatment of these diseases.
The main pharmacological properties of the drug:
The principle of action of bile in the treatment of spurs is as follows: it irritates the skin, stimulates blood circulation, and increases the temperature in the affected area. Due to this, pain goes away and inflammation is relieved.
In addition, bile resolves salt deposits, which greatly enhances the effect of the treatment prescribed by a specialist.
Bile is used only externally, making compresses:
Apply the compress at night, remove it in the morning and wipe the heel with lotion or alcohol. You should not wash your heel.
To achieve optimal therapeutic effect, it is recommended to complete a course of 20 procedures.
It is important not to take a break in treatment, this will help achieve the optimal positive effect of the drug. Even if relief comes after just a few compresses, it is recommended to complete the course completely.
Such courses of treatment must be repeated every 2–3 months.
Heel spurs are also treated with bile, including it in various products.
The product will require the following ingredients:
Mix all ingredients in a glass container, cover with a lid and let steep for at least three days in a dark, cool place. Strain and you can make compresses.
It is recommended to store in the refrigerator for no longer than a week.
Ingredients for the mixture:
Mix all the ingredients, no need to infuse, the product is immediately ready for use. Apply compresses at night.
To prepare the product you will need:
All ingredients are mixed in equal proportions in a glass container and infused in a dark place for 1.5–2 weeks. Before use, the required amount of the mixture is heated in a water bath. Used as a compress.
Despite the availability and low cost of pharmaceutical bile, it is not recommended to treat heel spurs with it without first consulting with your doctor.
In people prone to allergies, it can cause redness and irritation at the site of application.
Allergic reactions quickly disappear after stopping bile therapy, but it can be used again no earlier than a month later.
It is not recommended to apply polyethylene to a compress with bile, as it does not allow air to pass through and can cause a burn to the foot.
Treatment with bile is contraindicated in:
Do not include it in compresses without consulting a doctor. Uncontrolled use of the drug can aggravate the situation and cause complications.
Severe pain in the heel raises the suspicion of an internal growth on the bone. Treatment of heel spurs with medical bile is a fairly effective technique . Doctors consider the causes of neoplasm to be the patient’s excess weight, metabolic disorders in the body, and flat feet. The disease greatly interferes with walking and leading a normal lifestyle. Heel spurs should be treated under supervision and with prescriptions from qualified specialists. If you do not deal with the disease for a long time, the foot may become deformed, which is much more difficult to correct.
The medical name for the disease is fasciitis. The disease is characterized by severe muscle inflammation. Ligaments and tendons are also involved in this process. Inflammation leads to the formation of a growth on the heel bone. The resulting thorns severely injure tissue and cause pain.
Heel spurs are a common condition. Urban residents suffer from it more often. This is due to the peculiarities of life in a metropolis, and for women - walking in high heels. This spoils and deforms the foot, creating additional threats of various types of musculoskeletal diseases.
The majority of those who seek help from doctors when a heel spur is detected are women aged 40-45 years. In medical practice, there are situations when a fairly large thorn (over 1 cm) does not bring severe pain to the patient when walking. The presence of a thorn was revealed as a result of an x-ray taken for another reason. In other cases, a small growth on the bone caused severe pain and inflammation, and the patient urgently needed pain relief.
Treatment of heel spurs with medical bile is widely used in medicine.
Bile is obtained from animals. The product, which is sold in pharmacies, contains cattle or pork bile. Since ancient times, people have used this remedy to eliminate various types of ailments. Official medicine adopted bile, having carefully studied its properties. Based on this, drugs were successfully developed that are widely used in medicine today.
The pharmacy chain sells canned bile, which is dark in color with a mixture of shades of yellow and brown. The substance has a specific smell. In addition to the bile itself, it contains alcohol, furatsilin, and formalin. The drug is used externally only.
The action of bile is as follows:
Except in cases of spurs, bile is used for:
The drug is sold in pharmacies without a prescription. Spurs are treated at home. The product must be used with caution. To achieve maximum effect, procedures with bile are carried out for a long time. The course of 20-30 manipulations cannot be interrupted. If a person has allergic reactions to the components of the drug, such treatment is contraindicated. In order not to harm your body, you need to try to avoid getting bile on your mucous membranes. Doctors do not recommend combining bile with other medications to get rid of unexpected reactions, burns and allergies.
If the diagnosis is correct and it is a heel spur, consult your doctor about how to properly use medical bile in your case. When treating heel spurs with medical bile, other methods must be used: physiotherapy, massage, gymnastics, corticosteroids and painkillers are prescribed. Complex procedures will relieve the disease faster. It is known that bile does not help all patients. Some people do not respond to the drug at all, and the spurs continue to bother them. Advanced forms of the disease cannot be healed with bile alone. Surgery is often required.
Before carrying out procedures to remove spurs, you should test the effect of the product on the skin. This is done to find out how the body will react to bile and whether an allergic reaction will occur. Apply a little product to the inner elbow area. It is important to do this on clean, undamaged skin (exposure of bile to areas where there are wounds will lead to irritation and soreness).
Procedures should begin as early as possible. If the symptoms of spurs have been bothering you for a long time, be patient. Lotions are made from bile. It is customary to leave the compress overnight and remove it in the morning. To carry out the procedure for treating heel spurs with medical bile, you will need:
Steam your heel. Shake the vial of bile well. Soak a cloth or gauze in the liquid and apply it to the spur. Cover with plastic, wrap with a bandage. Wear wool socks. In the morning, remove the compress and wipe the heel with alcohol. You can wash your feet additionally, but many doctors do not recommend this. Lubricate the lotions with baby cream. This will relieve skin irritation.
Procedures should be done daily, for 20-30 days without breaks. Even if you are tired, you are no longer in such severe pain, you should not interrupt the course, this will reverse the healing process of your legs. It is believed that relief will come after the 5th procedure. Completed treatment does not guarantee that the pain will not return.
Some experts do not recommend using polyethylene when applying a compress, talking about the “greenhouse effect” that this will create. Thus, the risk of getting burned increases. Instead of polyethylene, you can use wax paper.
According to another recipe, to enhance the effect, it is recommended to mix bile with alcohol or vodka. It is believed that this way the product is better absorbed into the skin, affecting inflammation faster.
There are a number of other recipes for spurs that can be used in between courses of bile. In the summer, when there is a lot of greenery around, find fresh knotweed grass and put it in your shoes. Walk all day and make new tabs in the morning. Continue manipulations for a week.
Mix 40-60 ml of bile, 15-20 ml of any shampoo, 20-25 ml of alcohol. Make a compress with this remedy at night. If there was no allergy when testing the composition on the bend of the elbow, but there was an allergy when applying it to the heel, immediately stop using it and wash your feet well.
Bile and pepper are used. In terms of compress application technology, this recipe is no different from the previous ones. You will need about 10 pods of red hot pepper (no need to chop), bile (200 - 250 ml), camphor alcohol (100 ml). Mix the ingredients in a glass container and cover tightly with a non-metallic lid. Leave for 3-5 days. Strain and use for lotions. The product should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 7 days, after which you need to prepare it fresh.
Birch bark is also used. Cut a narrow strip out of it, roll it into a tube, wrap the resulting ring with a layer of bandage and put it in boots or shoes where the heels are. The spur should fit into the hole. This reduces the load when walking, and the painful area is not injured.
It is not recommended to use bile on damaged skin, even if your body is not prone to allergic reactions, irritation from the burning effect of bile will not have the best effect on sensations.
If there are inflammatory processes or ulcers, the removal of heel spurs with medical bile must be stopped immediately.
In case of inflammatory disease of the lymph nodes or infection of the lymphatic system, it is not recommended to treat the spur with bile.
Doctors do not recommend using bile for spurs in pregnant and lactating women. If there is such a need, then procedures should be done with great caution and only under the strict supervision of a doctor.
This treatment is contraindicated for children. The action of bile on the skin of adults also leads to its redness. The skin of young children is too delicate to use such drugs.
When treating spurs with bile, do not combine the remedy with peony, licorice, clover, parsley, thyme, or hops. These herbs reduce the effectiveness of bile.
Traditional medicine widely uses bile, a natural medicine obtained from cattle and subsequently preserved for future use. Bile has long been used to treat joint diseases, and today it is a standardized medicine. In pharmacies it is sold in the form of a yellowish substance with a characteristic odor. In addition to bile itself, its composition includes ethyl alcohol, formalin, furatsilin and other components.
Medical bile has analgesic, emulsifying, anti-inflammatory, local irritant and absorbable properties. It is used in the treatment of heel spurs, osteoarthritis, chronic arthritis, bursitis, secondary radiculitis and other diseases.
So is it possible to treat heel spurs with medical bile? Let's find out below.
A heel spur is a growth formed on the bone on the plantar side of the foot due to inflammation of the plantar fascia. The cause of pain is inflammation, but the growth may not manifest itself in any way. The most common consequences of this disease are foot deformity, severe pain when walking and loss of mobility.
The mechanism of action of bile during the treatment of spurs on the heel bone is simple - it irritates the skin, thereby increasing blood flow. At the same time, the temperature in the sore spot increases, due to which inflammation and pain are relieved. In addition, bile resolves salt deposits, which enhances the therapeutic effect.
Good, lasting results can be achieved by treating plantar fasciitis with the use of purified bile. Such treatment can be carried out at home, since this remedy can be purchased at most pharmacies and you do not need a doctor's prescription to purchase it. During the treatment of plantar fasciitis, you can use different types of bile, but it is more convenient to buy ready-made medical bile.
Medical bile is not recommended for use in the following cases:
Today, there are many effective folk recipes for treating spurs by applying compresses with medical bile. Despite the minimal number of contraindications, some of them should not be used, as they can do more harm than give a positive result. Therefore, when choosing alternative treatment methods, exercise extreme caution, having first consulted with your doctor. Don't self-medicate!
Plantar fasciitis is treated, as a rule, with a conservative complex method, which includes therapeutic exercises, foot unloading, physiotherapeutic procedures, massage, the use of corticosteroids, orthopedic patches and other medications. Bile used in the treatment of spurs can increase the therapeutic effect of the course of treatment prescribed by a specialist, helping to relieve inflammation and relieve pain. However, it must be borne in mind that burning is only an auxiliary means, and in order to cure a heel spur, additional measures cannot be avoided.
In conclusion: disease prevention
Preventive measures aimed at preventing the occurrence of heel spurs should be:
At the first signs of a heel spur, you should consult a doctor who will prescribe a course of preventive therapy using various physiotherapeutic procedures. It is almost impossible to get rid of the disease using folk remedies at home.
A heel spur is a disease caused by the formation of a spike-like bone growth on the heel. It injures the surrounding tissues, causing acute pain that prevents you from standing on your entire foot. In this case, movements are difficult and limited; in the future, deformation of the foot and a change in gait may occur.
Very often, doctors recommend treatment of heel spurs with medical bile, as a means of coping well with the resulting pathology. This medicine is especially effective at the initial stage of disease development.
Before treating this disease, the patient should undergo a thorough examination and determine the cause of the disease, among which the most common are:
The causes contributing to the development of pathology must be eliminated, otherwise the result of treatment will be temporary.
Medical bile is produced from the bile of cattle, has a brown or dark yellow color and a characteristic odor. It is produced in the form of an emulsion with additives from preservatives, packaged in containers of 50, 100 and 250 ml and is freely available in pharmacies. It is used externally, providing analgesic, anti-inflammatory and warming effects, and the contained antiseptics and furatsilin promote resorption processes.
People have learned to use the healing properties of bile to eliminate various ailments since ancient times. Now its properties have been well studied, including in the treatment of heel spurs.
Medical bile may cause an allergic reaction. Therefore, the first stage of treating bile at home is testing it as an allergen. To do this, apply a cotton swab soaked in bile to the skin on the inside of the elbow. If after some time there is no redness at the site of application of the drug, then proceed with treatment. Be careful not to get bile on mucous membranes to avoid burns.
Doctors practice the use of medical bile in the treatment of the following diseases: arthritis, bursitis, salt deposits, various diseases of the spine, sprains, bruises without damaging the skin.
It is necessary to remember: the use of medical bile, like any drug, is possible only as prescribed by a doctor, since self-medication will only cause harm.
Treating heel spurs at home requires patience and perseverance, as the results of therapy appear gradually. Patients usually feel slight relief on the fifth day. The treatment course is successful if the procedures are performed daily for 20-30 days. Even if you feel better or you are overly busy and tired of doing procedures, you should not stop treatment. The disease cannot always be cured in one course and then it must be repeated after 1-2 months.
Many patients are interested in how to treat heel spurs with medical bile. When using this unique remedy, lotions and compresses are traditional. To carry out the procedures you will need:
Before use, the vial of bile must be shaken thoroughly. To avoid burns, at the beginning of treatment it is recommended to apply a cloth moistened with medicine to the heel through a piece of bandage.
Treatment with lotions at home is carried out as follows: first, steam the heel and apply cloth or gauze, folded in several layers and well moistened with a bile solution, to the sore spot. The procedure is repeated several times a day, the gauze should always be damp.
A compress of medical bile is made at night. The cloth moistened with the medicine is covered with wax paper or polyethylene, a tubular bandage is pulled on or the foot is wrapped with a regular bactericidal agent and a warm sock is put on. In the morning you feel better. After removing the compress, doctors do not recommend washing the foot, but if necessary, wash the foot with warm water and soap. To completely eliminate the odor, rinse with water and vinegar in a ratio of 2 tablespoons of vinegar per 1 liter of water. Then wipe the heel with alcohol or lotion. To relieve irritation, the place where bile is applied can be lubricated with baby cream.
In folk medicine, compresses based on medical bile with additives are used to enhance the effect of therapy. Here are some of them:
Significantly shortens the treatment period by adding vodka and regular shampoo or laundry soap in the following ratio: 50 g of bile and 20 g of vodka and shampoo or grated laundry soap. All ingredients are mixed, and the resulting product is used for a compress, which is applied in the above manner. A positive result occurs after the third procedure. If the disease is more severe, the number of procedures increases.
For more effective treatment, it is possible to use a compress of bile and chili pepper. The mixture is prepared in a liter jar, into which 10 pods of fresh or dried red hot pepper are placed. Pour out 1 bottle of bile and 4 bottles of camphor alcohol. The mixture is tightly covered with a plastic lid and left to infuse in a dark place for 10 days. After the expiration date, the mixture is filtered into a glass container. Store the mixture in the refrigerator. The compress is used for 7 days.
The composition of the compress ensures its effectiveness, but it can cause burns, so it is recommended to initially keep it on the sore spot for no more than 20 minutes. If there is no strong redness on the skin, then daily the period of exposure is increased by half an hour.
The use of medical bile for heel spurs helps to gradually relieve the inflammatory process and significantly reduce pain in the foot, until complete recovery.
The healing properties of bile are increased by adding equal parts of iodine, ammonia, glycerin and honey. Remember that all these substances are volatile and have specific, very pungent odors. All ingredients are mixed in a glass container and infused in a dark place for 10-14 days. For a compress, a small amount of the mixture is heated in a water bath, applied to gauze and a compress is made.
If you do a light heel massage with Viprosal ointment before the compress, the healing properties of medical bile will significantly improve.
In spring and summer, young shoots of knotweed grass make it easier to endure the disease and promote a speedy recovery. This herb has anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects, is rich in vitamins, minerals, and tannins. Knotweed is placed in shoes for the whole day, and a compress of bile is made at night, and freshly picked grass is used again in the morning. Duration of treatment is 7-10 days.
The use of various compresses based on bile shows that this substance allows you to eliminate bone growth on the heel quickly and does not cause side effects.
It must be remembered that when treating heel spurs, it is important to follow a gentle regime for the foot.
Despite the positive reviews, medical bile has a number of limitations. Contraindications for use are:
You need to know: some medicinal herbs (licorice root, clover, thyme, peony, hops, parsley) significantly reduce the healing properties of medicinal bile.
Medical bile for heel spurs is an effective remedy that provides high-quality and effective treatment and is affordable. Bile treatment does not require hospitalization; procedures can be performed at home. If all recommendations are followed, improvement occurs in the first week.
A heel spur is a spiky bone growth on the plantar surface of the heel bones at the site of attachment of the foot ligaments or the heel (Achilles) tendon; This term also refers to the type of osteophyte. As a result of the appearance of this defect, the limb is deformed and the gait changes.
Heel spur diagram
The heel spur is clearly visible on an x-ray, and after diagnosing the disease, the patient is sent for physical treatment.
Heel spur in the picture
But physiotherapy, as we know, takes a lot of time, it is not suitable for everyone and is quite expensive. It is much cheaper to undergo treatment with medical bile (250 ml costs about 190-250 rubles), which is sold without a prescription and shows good results. Typically, you should still consult a specialist before starting treatment.
In the initial stages, a heel spur does not manifest itself in any way, which means it is impossible to identify it in a timely manner. The x-ray clearly shows the neoplasm in the form of a pointed spike that continues the bone (this is indicated by the brightness and density of the bone tissue).
With a spur, patients involuntarily strive to relieve the heel area and step less on the affected foot
Note! Spurs come in different sizes. Based on the intensity of pain, it is not always possible to determine what size spur a particular person has. Often the length of the spike varies between 0.3-1.1 cm. The sharp end of the spike is directed towards the fingers and slightly curved upward.
Medical bile is a drug of animal origin, which is a dark yellow liquid. Pharmacies sell mostly bear bile, although preparations made from the bile of other animals are often found. The product consists of ethyl alcohol, furatsilin, antiseptics and various stabilizers.
Medical bear bile
It is actively used in both folk and traditional medicine. With its help, diseases of the spine, arthrosis and, of course, heel spurs are treated. By the way, in the case of spurs, treatment can be carried out at home.
Medical bile has a wide spectrum of action
The described drug acts as follows:
Sold in bottles of 100 ml or 250 ml, intended for external use. Typically, the bottle should be shaken thoroughly before each use.
Bear bile 10 ml.
It is also worth noting that medical bile has effective warming properties, but when taking it, as with any other drug, there are contraindications. Let's get to know them.
The use of the drug is contraindicated for people who have:
In addition, it is forbidden to use it in pediatrics - the child’s skin is too delicate and sensitive, and bile can cause severe irritation.
Using medical bile for treatment
Note! The effectiveness of treatment will decrease if, along with medical bile, a person takes hops, clover, peony, thyme, licorice and parsley.
As for the side effects, there is only one - the skin turns red at the site of the compress, but this goes away immediately after the cessation of exposure. The next course can be started at least in a month, not earlier.
The described remedy is actively used for heel spurs, and the treatment itself is very effective. Some publications say that sometimes people get rid of spurs just four to five days after starting treatment, but this is doubtful. Indeed, after four to five days, pain when walking may decrease, but to completely get rid of a heel spur, about twenty procedures are required.
Treating heel spurs
There are several treatment methods using medical bile. Let's get to know them.
The point is this. A small piece of cotton fabric or gauze, folded six to eight times, soaked in bile, is placed on the heel. Wax paper is applied over the compress, then the whole thing is bandaged, and a woolen sock is put on the leg to securely fix the bandage. The compress should be applied before bed and removed only the next morning.
You can secure the compress on the heel with a plaster
Warm compress on heels under socks
After removal, the heel area is wiped with some alcohol tincture or lotion, but not washed. After about the fifth procedure, long-awaited relief will come, but there is no need to stop treatment under any circumstances. The fact is that a stable result, as noted above, will appear only after the twentieth procedure.
You can't wash your feet in the morning
Note! In case of long-term treatment, it is advisable to repeat the course after one to two months. Moreover, the course itself should not last more than one month.
To prepare the following compress you will need:
Recipe with bile, vodka and shampoo
All ingredients are mixed and applied to the sore heel in the same way as in the previous method (bandage + wax paper + bandage + warm sock). To obtain a more or less lasting effect, this procedure should be performed at least three times. After removing the compress, it is not recommended to wash your foot, even if the bile smells disgusting.
The technique is no different from the methods described above, but the ingredients are as follows:
All this is mixed in a 1 liter jar and closed with a plastic lid. By the way, you don’t have to chop the pepper, but throw it in whole. The product is infused in a cool, dimly lit place for no more than three days, after which it is filtered.
The tincture should be stored in the refrigerator, but no longer than seven days - after this period a new remedy is prepared.
Before going to bed, you need to steam your feet by holding them in hot water for half an hour.
Next, a piece of cotton wool soaked in bile is applied only to the diseased area of the foot (if it comes into contact with healthy skin, the drug can cause a burn). A piece of polyethylene is placed on top, after which the leg is bandaged. Then a warm sock is put on, and the person goes to bed.
Heel compress
In the morning, the compress can be removed, but you can also leave it on all day (you can’t throw away the cotton wool!). In the evening, the leg is steamed again, the same piece of cotton wool is applied to the spur, but with a new portion of the drug. As a rule, after two months a person recovers.
Note! If an allergic reaction occurs after any of the compresses, then you can put gauze folded four times under the bandage.
