Janu Pichu is a gentle and effective Ayurvedic therapy specially designed to nourish, strengthen, and support the health of the knee joints. In Ayurveda, “Janu” means knee, while “Pichu” refers to a soft cotton pad or cloth soaked in warm medicated herbal oil. During this therapy, the oil-soaked pad is placed over the affected knee for a specific period, allowing the medicinal properties of the oil to penetrate deep into the joint tissues.
Unlike therapies that rely on continuous oil retention, Janu Pichu provides sustained nourishment through the medicated cotton application. The warmth of the herbal oil helps improve circulation, lubricate the joint, relax surrounding muscles, and reduce stiffness, making it an excellent therapy for individuals suffering from chronic knee discomfort.
Janu Pichu is commonly recommended for knee pain, osteoarthritis, age-related joint degeneration, sports injuries, and stiffness. It offers a natural, non-invasive approach to improving knee function and maintaining long-term joint health.
Janu Pichu is beneficial for people experiencing knee pain, reduced flexibility, or weakness in the knee joints.
This therapy is recommended for:
Individuals suffering from chronic knee pain
People diagnosed with osteoarthritis
Those experiencing stiffness or restricted knee movement
Individuals with mild swelling around the knee joint
Older adults with age-related joint degeneration
Athletes recovering from knee strain or overuse
People seeking natural Ayurvedic joint care
Anyone looking to improve knee strength and flexibility
According to Ayurveda, knee disorders are often associated with an aggravated Vata Dosha. Janu Pichu helps pacify Vata while nourishing the joints and supporting healthy mobility.

Your Ayurvedic doctor evaluates your joint condition, body constitution, and medical history before recommending the therapy.
A suitable medicated herbal oil is selected according to your individual condition and therapeutic needs.
The herbal oil is gently warmed to a comfortable therapeutic temperature.
A sterile cotton pad or soft cloth soaked in warm medicated oil is placed directly over the affected knee joint.
The medicated pad is kept in place for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, allowing deep absorption of the herbal oils into the tissues.
After removing the pad, a light massage may be performed to improve circulation and maximize the healing effects.
The therapy concludes with a short period of relaxation before resuming normal activities.
For safe and effective treatment, please follow these precautions:
Avoid therapy if there are open wounds, skin infections, or severe inflammation around the knee.
