There are no Home Remedies on Planatar Fasciitis but you can use basic home care measures to prevent it and cure it.
Self-Care Measures

-Taking up new sporting activities like swimming or bicycling other than running or jumping
-Avoid wearing shoes which look good but are not comfortable
-Wear Shoes with soft insoles which would keep your feet from overexertion
-You can also tape the area for soothing the tense areas
-Ample amount of rest
-Try losing weight so your feet bares less pressure
Stretching Exercises
Stretching is the best way to deal with this problem and here are some of the most common stretches to prevent plantar fasciitis -
First step for this exercise is to lean forward against a wall by keeping on knee straight and the heel on the ground. The other knee is bent and your face is trying to touch the wall. This stretches the heel cord and the foot arch. Remain in this position for 10 seconds, relax and come back to your position. You can repeat this 20 times for each foot.
Use cold-juice-can to roll your arch over it, the cold minimizes the inflammation and the massaging loosens the tense tissues
