Janu Basti
Ayurvedic Treatment for Knee Pain – Janu Basti Therapy
Janu Basti is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment for knee pain. In this therapy, warm medicated oil is kept over the knee joint to help reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling. It is often suggested for osteoarthritis, knee joint wear and tear, and Vata-related knee issues.
Procudure :-
1) Gently massage knees with the doctor-recommended warm medicinal oil.
2) On top of the knee joint, construct a chamber made of black gram dough. The dough ring needs to be positioned so that it surrounds the kneecap.
3) Check the temperature and pour the warm oil into the compartment after making sure the ring is leak-proof.
4) Once that has cooled, cotton gauze is used to press it out, and the process is repeated. The oil’s temperature needs to be held steady throughout the procedure.
5) The ring is taken off at the conclusion of the procedure, and you can massage the affected region lightly afterward.
What Is Janu Basti Treatment?
Janu Basti is an Ayurvedic knee therapy where warm herbal oil is placed over the knee joint for a set time. This treatment helps keep the joint lubricated, eases stiffness, boosts circulation, and supports natural pain relief for knee problems.
How Janu Basti Works in Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, knee pain often happens because of increased Vata dosha, dryness in the joints, and less nourishment to the tissues. Janu Basti gives warmth and herbal care right to the knee joint. This can improve blood flow, lower swelling, make joint tissues stronger, and help the knee move more easily..
