Hi Jacquelyn, 
 Here are a copy of all the files I have.  I hope this helps. 
 Namaste

 Tue Jan 30, 2007 9:21 pm (PST) Anything ending in  "itis" means 
 inflammation, so anti-inflammatory oils would be a good choice....  I'd probably first 
 try wintergreen, because I just love it, and have had good  results with it 
 for relieving pain..... but experiement with different  anti-inflammatory 
 oils to figure out what works best for him (Aroma Siez is  awesome too). The 
 other side of that is that it is usually caused by a  tightening of fascia (a 
 tissue that covers the muscle), and the muscle itself.  It'd be great if 
 you could find a massage therapist trained in the Stuart Taws'  technique 
 'Soft Tissue Release'.... basically, the way to work it is to pull the  toes 
 back towards your shin, and pull the foot the same direction, as you  massage 
 down the foot, in a stretching motion.... you'll probably have to start  off 
 VERY gently at first, it can be a little intense. Also, focus on stretching  
 the achilles tendon and the calves. And, it's always good to stretch both 
 sides  at the same time, so it's good to
 stretch the shins while you're at it, but  really focus on the back of the 
 leg. Also, I've heard some people have had  pretty good results with a boot 
 specially made for plantar fascitis, that flexes  the foot up while you 
 sleep. Good luck!

 Finally, one day I  had a flash of inspiration, and mixed up this blend for 
  
 myself.
 
 Within a day, the pain was lessening, and now I have to  consciously 
 remember to put it on because mostly the pain is gone. This is a  minor 
 miracle, since I was unable to do more than hobble for 5-6  months.
 
 I have no education in blending oils, and have no idea if what I  did was 
 "right" or "wrong", but it worked a miracle for me, and I will  continue to 
 use it for myself. Oh, and it worked wonderfully for my son's  sprained 
 knee also.
 
 Here is the blend I use:
 
 10  Melaleuca
 10 Lavender
 10 Birch
 10 Fir
 7 Marjoram
 2-4  Peppermint
 30 or more Jojoba carrier oil
 
 (I would have also added 10  Cypress, but do not have it.)
 
 I put it all in an empty YL bottle, and  keep it by my bed, to put on each 
 morning and night. I spread 3-4 drops over the  entire bottom of my foot, 
 and up and around the back of the heel all the way to  the ankle.
 
 If it weren't for these oils, I probably wouldn't be walking  at all now, 
 so you can imagine how much I believe in them.
 
 IT ALSO WORKED  FOR MY SON'S SPRAINED ANKLE
 Good luck,
 Janet
 
 I also had  success with using oregano and thyme oil on my plantar wart.  I 
 applied  them a few times a day and it went away in 3 weeks.   
 
 Thanks!

 Plantar  Fasciitis   I had this problem years ago and
 would get  regular injections and then more weight would compound the
 problem.  The pain was so bad I would give in and get another shot. Never
 once  did this Foot Dr. tell me there was a simple solution. All you need
 to  do is strech the ligiments in the foot. I found if you just  slowly
 while walking up the stairs lower your foot (heel) lower than  the step, it
 would streach the heel and the pain would go away. Women  who wore
 heels all the time have the same probme in the back of their  legs by
 the ankles... need to strech thoes bands in the  foot..

 I was running track in  HS. We had to practice for a while on the blacktop. 
 I ran the quarter, and  the half. In practice, it felt like a knife going 
 through the bottom of my  foot. It was torturous, because we ran, and ran, 
 and ran, 
 for two hours  every day, after school. My feet were in "major pain". This 
 went on for a  few weeks, until we started practicing on a cinder track at 
 the college:  U. of Missouri, at Rolla. 
 
 My Dad, a D.O. told me to stand  over a tennis ball,
 and rub my foot on, it back and forth, every evening  after practice. That 
 did help. It stretched the ligaments out  sufficiently, that the pain went 
 down,
 until it eventually went away. I  was young then too, only 16.
