Janu Basti Therapy at Prem & Yoga Ayurveda | Knee Pain Relief
Janu Basti at Prem & Yoga Ayurveda is a classical Ayurvedic therapy specifically designed to relieve knee pain, stiffness, and joint discomfort. In this treatment, warm, medicated herbal oil is gently retained over the knee joint using a specially prepared dough ring, allowing the oil to penetrate deeply into the tissues.
This localized therapy helps soothe joints, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and restore mobility, making it especially effective for chronic and degenerative knee conditions.
About Janu Basti
In Ayurveda, joint pain and stiffness are often linked to aggravated Vata dosha, which causes dryness, degeneration, and discomfort in the joints. Janu Basti works by delivering sustained warmth and herbal nourishment directly to the knee joint, helping to lubricate tissues and calm Vata imbalance.
