5. ACV Soak
Apple cider vinegar is an effective natural treatment for any systemic inflammation you experience in your body. ACV gets its anti-inflammatory properties from the beneficial bacteria and enzymes found in the vinegar. The industry refers to these compounds as, “the mother,” and you’ll notice it appear as a brown suspension in the vinegar.
Dab a cotton ball in ACV, then place it on your heel and cover with a bandage. Leave the cotton ball on your skin for 20-minutes before removing. The beneficial compounds in the apple cider vinegar pull the excess calcium deposits from your heel, preventing the advancement of heel spurs.
We recommend that you use the unfiltered version of ACV for your treatment. The filtering process removes all of the beneficial enzymes and bacteria from the ACV, rendering it a useless home remedy for anything other than flavoring food. Read the label before you buy your ACV, and ensure that you’re purchasing an unfiltered product.
