Janu Basti is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy designed to strengthen the knee joints, relieve pain, and improve mobility naturally. In Ayurveda, “Janu” means knee, while “Basti” refers to retaining medicated oil over a specific part of the body for therapeutic healing.
During this treatment, a circular reservoir made from herbal dough is placed around the knee joint. Warm medicated herbal oil is then poured into this reservoir and retained for a specific duration. The warmth of the oil allows its therapeutic properties to penetrate deeply into the muscles, ligaments, cartilage, and joint tissues, helping reduce pain and stiffness while nourishing the knee.
Janu Basti is commonly recommended for people suffering from chronic knee pain, osteoarthritis, joint stiffness, sports injuries, and age-related degeneration. It is a natural, non-invasive Ayurvedic therapy that focuses on restoring joint function and promoting long-term knee health.
Janu Basti is suitable for individuals experiencing knee discomfort, reduced mobility, or degenerative joint conditions.
This therapy is recommended for:
Individuals suffering from chronic knee pain
People diagnosed with osteoarthritis
Those experiencing stiffness in the knee joints
Individuals with inflammation or swelling around the knees
People recovering from minor ligament or muscle injuries
Athletes and physically active individuals
Older adults experiencing age-related joint degeneration
Anyone seeking natural Ayurvedic care for healthy knees
According to Ayurveda, knee disorders are commonly associated with an aggravated Vata Dosha. Janu Basti helps balance Vata while nourishing and strengthening the joints naturally.

The therapy is performed using authentic Ayurvedic techniques under expert supervision.
Your Ayurvedic doctor evaluates your symptoms, body constitution, and joint condition before recommending the therapy.
The knee area is cleaned and prepared for treatment while ensuring complete comfort.
A herbal dough ring is carefully placed around the knee to create a leak-proof reservoir.
Medicated herbal oil is gently poured into the dough ring and maintained at a therapeutic temperature.
The warm oil remains over the knee for approximately 20–30 minutes, allowing deep absorption into the joint tissues.
After removing the oil, a gentle massage may be performed to improve circulation and enhance the healing effect.
The session concludes with a short period of relaxation before resuming normal activities.

Avoid therapy if there are open wounds, skin infections, or severe inflammation around the knee.
