Janu Basti or Knee Joint Pain

Janu Basti is a specialised Ayurvedic therapy designed to treat knee joint pain, stiffness, and degenerative conditions such as arthritis. In this therapy, warm medicated oils are retained over the knee joint within a herbal boundary, allowing the oils to deeply penetrate the joint capsule, ligaments, and surrounding muscles. This targeted nourishment helps pacify aggravated Vata dosha, improve joint lubrication, and reduce inflammation.

At Mokshaa Ayurveda Clinic, Janu Basti is customised according to the patient’s constitution, age, and severity of knee discomfort. The therapy strengthens the ligaments, improves flexibility, relieves pain, and supports mobility. It is especially beneficial for elderly patients, athletes, or individuals experiencing chronic wear-and-tear conditions of the knees.

Janu Basti also promotes overall joint health by increasing circulation in the affected area and facilitating the removal of toxins from the tissues. Regular sessions can reduce swelling, stiffness, and discomfort, while enhancing joint strength and stability. At Mokshaa Ayurveda Clinic, Janu Basti is performed with personalised care, using authentic herbal oils that nourish and rejuvenate the knee joints, restoring balance and mobility in accordance with Ayurvedic principles.
