Product Description

Plantar fasciitis is a condition where the plantar fascia, a fibrous band of tissue connecting the heel bone to the base of the toes, is inflamed resulting in pain on the underside of the heel. Recent studies suggest that plantar fasciitis is not only the result of inflammation of the plantar fascia but further degeneration of collagen of the plantar fascia. It often occurs in people whose work requires standing and walking for long hours, and who are overweight. It is estimated that about 2 millions Americans have plantar fasciitis of varying degree. Interestingly, it is more common in women than in men.

Symptoms include pain that occur with the first few steps in the morning, from long standing & walking, and from long sitting (i.e. driving). In more severe and chronic cases, blue veins may occur on the medial side of the foot.

Traditional treatments include night splints, shoe inserts, icing, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication), arch taping, custom orthotics, iontophoresis, corticosteroid injections, surgeries, and stretching. However not everyone can get relief from one of the above treatments.

If you have plantar fasciitis and have tried everything else with little improvement, then HEELGARDE is the answer to your problem.

HEELGARDE is a natural herbal dietary supplement designed to support healthy plantar fascia. It works effectively by promoting better blood circulation to bring nourishment to the feet. Better circulation initiates the body's natural healing process and in time reduces the inflammation to the plantar fascia, consequently decreasing and eventually eliminating pain to the area.

Healthy blood circulation is not only essential for the feet but equally important for the rest of the legs and the whole body. Classical Chinese herbal medical theory stipulates that pain is an inevitable result whenever there is blockage or stagnation of the blood circulation. What it means is a decrease in blood flow to the affected area and thus resulting in pain. The symptoms of decrease blood flow may include more than just pain in the plantar fascia. They can be cramps, tingly feeling in arms and legs, numbness, joint pain such as in the knees, elbows,fingers, and prickly moving pain in various locations on the body.

We firmly believe that the condition of heel pain starts out as an inflammation of the plantar fascia and gradually becomes a degeneration of the collagen. To reverse the process, it is crucial to nourish the affected area with better blood circulation and then maintaining consistent circulation to stop recurrences.

HEELGARDE not only provides support for healthy plantar fascia but also many other conditions related to poor blood circulation in the foot.

HOW EFFECTIVE IS HEELGARDE?

We did a clinical study of actual patients using HEELGARDE and the result was absolutely stunning. We are proud to say that 100% of our patients see significant difference within 7 days. For cases less than 2 years old, improvement was observed 4 days into the trial. For chronic cases of 2 years or longer, it was between 4 to 7 days. In most cases, YOU WILL NEED JUST ONE BOTTLE TO SEE A DIFFERENCE and resume your normal activities.

HEELGARDE IS EFFECTIVE IN PROMOTING BLOOD FLOW. YOU WILL SEE A DIFFERENCE WITHIN ONE WEEK.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY PROCESS LIKE?

With healthy blood circulation, the healing process generally follows the steps below:

1. For people who also have pain in the knee joints, knee pain will improve first.

2. After the knee joint pain improvement(if you have it), the first few steps in the morning will be less painful. During this stage, you still feel the pain in the plantar fascia. The pain level is about the same and usually most painful later during the day toward the evening.

3. After stage 2, the pain intensity in the plantar fascia will be less and less with improving blood circulation. Pain that is normally intense toward the evening will also decrease.

For people who also have blue veins on the medial sides of the feet, you will notice less and less blue veins.

For people who also have prickling pain, crawly feeling in the calf muscles, you will also notice improvement.

4. You will feel better day by day.

5. After about 2 weeks when the blood circulation is substantially better (approximately 1 bottle of HEELGARDE of 100 caps.), you will be glad that you try HEELGARDE.

Peony root has been used in Chinese medicine over many centuries for its properties in dealing with irritability, nervous irritations, muscle spasms and cramps.

Licorice has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effect, which is helpful in treating arthritis, rheumatism and stiff, painful joints. The herb stimulates production of cortisone and aldosterone, which appear to be effective anti-inflammatory agents. Licorice shows beneficial support in maintaining a healthy gastrointestinal functions that are relevant in conditions such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, Celiac disease, gastritis and peptic ulcer. Other uses of licorice include anti-bacterial, anti-viral, early stages of Addison's disease, chronic bronchial asthma, anti-allergic, and detoxifying.

Angelica Sinensis is used to tonify the blood. It is useful in pains due to blood stasis by promoting the circulation of blood. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, and sedative effects. Angelica Sinensis is an excellent natural, non-animal source of vitamin B12.

Atractylodes is used often as a diuretic and is used in Chinese medicine for diarrhea, fatigue, lack of appetite, and edema. When used in conjunction with other herbs, atractylodes can enhance the effects in dealing with abdominal pain, distention, vomiting, spontaneous sweating, and fullness of chest and abdomen.

Poria Cocos promotes urination in urinary dysfunction, diarrhea, or edema; helps with symptoms of headache, dizziness, palpitations, insomnia, and forgetfulness; strengthens appetite. It is thought to have nervous system effect, and smooth muscle effect. Poria is high in potassium salts which might explain its influence on water metabolism on cellular level.
