Namaste Pande_Srini,

Welcome to the Forum.

I would like to respond to just this part of all your information and questions as this is something I have experience of, not personally, but through a friend. The burning feet can be due to many reasons and I am sure you might have looked into some of them already. However, I would like to suggest the following area for investigation:

Peripheral Neuropathy - This is damage to the nerves, in this case the nerves to your feet. Burning is one symptom of peripheral neuropathy, but it can also be a "pins and needles" sensation, numbness, tickling or tingling. One of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes and worth testing for it. Please also ask for testing of your insulin levels as in many cases your blood suger might test normal, but you might already be pre-diabetic and this is indicated by testing your insulin levels.

Other conditions that can produce burning feet is Vitamin B-12 deficiency (pernicious anemia and a problem with vegetarians sometimes), heavy metal poisoning, and circulatory disorders. Thyriod problems can also lead to burning or tingling toes.

Once you know exactly what is causing your burning feet, I know that yoga can assist in many ways, not just in terms of getting the blood circulation up and so on, but also in terms of regulating your diet and changing your mindset as well.
