What is Janu Basti?
Janu Basti is a therapeutic technique within Ayurveda that focuses on the knees. The term “Janu” refers to the knee, and “Basti” means “container” or “receptacle.” During this treatment, a reservoir made of dough is placed around the knee, and warm medicated oil is poured into it. This process helps to rejuvenate the area, improve circulation, and relieve pain.
Benefits of Janu Basti
Janu Basti offers a multitude of benefits, including:
- Pain Relief: Effective in alleviating chronic knee pain, arthritis, and joint discomfort.
- Reduced Inflammation: Helps to reduce swelling and inflammation around the knee joint.
- Improved Mobility: Enhances flexibility and range of motion, making daily activities easier.
- Nourishes Joint Tissues: The medicated oil penetrates deeply, nourishing and revitalizing the knee tissues.
- Promotes Overall Joint Health: Regular treatments can support long-term joint health and prevent future issues.
How Does Janu Basti Work?
- Preparation: The treatment begins with a thorough consultation and assessment of your knee health. Our expert practitioners will select the appropriate medicated oil based on your individual needs.
- Application: A dough ring is carefully applied around the knee to create a reservoir. Warm, medicated oil is poured into this reservoir, allowing it to bathe the knee joint.
- Relaxation: You will relax with the oil in place for about 30 to 45 minutes, during which the oil penetrates and soothes the affected area.
- Completion: After the treatment, the oil is gently removed, and the area is cleaned. Follow-up recommendations may include specific exercises or dietary adjustments to enhance results.
