What is Janu Basti (Knee Pain Relief Therapy)?

Janu Basti, also known as Januvasti, is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy specifically designed to relieve knee pain and stiffness. In this treatment, a ring made from black gram dough is placed around the affected knee, and warm, medicated herbal oil is poured into the ring and retained for a specific period of time.
The warmth and medicinal properties of the oil penetrate deep into the tissues, helping to reduce inflammation, lubricate the joint, ease stiffness, and improve circulation. Janu Basti is particularly effective for people suffering from osteoarthritis, sports injuries, ligament damage, or age-related joint degeneration.

This therapy not only provides pain relief but also strengthens the muscles and tissues surrounding the knee, promoting better mobility and long-term joint health. It is a safe, noninvasive, and natural alternative to conventional pain management and is often recommended in a series of sessions for best results.
