        abstract = {Plantar fasciitis is one of the leading cause of chronic heel pain. It affects about 10% of the population. 83% of individuals with plantar fasciitis are active working adults aged 25 to 65. Among the general population, the age group between 40 and 60 years shows the highest incidence. Plantar fasciitis is not considered to be a primary inflammatory disorder, but it is considered to be a degenerative pathology. Due to its degenerative pathology rather than inflammatory, it is also recognised as fasciosis instead of fasciitis. The key risk factors include prolonged standing, walking, obesity, and other biomechanical issues like reduced ankle dorsiflexion, etc. The hallmark symptom is sharp, non-radiating pain during the first steps in the morning. Diagnosis of plantar fasciitis is primarily clinical, often supported by the windlass test or ultrasound measurements of fascial thickness. The management is based on conservative therapies such as rest, heat, ice packs, stretching, and NSAIDs, as the condition frequently has a self-limiting natural history. Early detection and management lead to shorter duration and higher likelihood of success. It may sometimes take longer to resolve. Previous studies have shown that homeopathic medicines help in the treatment of the disease, and so this article is an attempt to show the indication of homeopathic remedies and also rubrics from various repertories based on symptoms of plantar fasciitis and thus helps in finding out the similimum easily.},
