What is Janu Basti?
Janu Basti is a specialized Ayurvedic oil retention therapy for the knees (Janu means “knee” in Sanskrit). This traditional treatment focuses on relieving pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the knee joints while nourishing the surrounding muscles and tissues.
The procedure involves retaining warm medicated oil over the knees using a herbal dough ring, allowing the healing herbs to penetrate deep into the joint structure. This promotes better lubrication, reduces stiffness, and supports overall joint health.
At the Ayurvedic Wellness Centre in Bondi Junction, Janu Basti is performed using herbal oils prescribed according to your dosha and specific condition to enhance flexibility and restore balance.
What Makes Janu Basti Unique
The warmth and medicinal properties of the herbal oil help boost blood circulation, strengthen the surrounding ligaments and tendons, and promote regeneration of joint tissues.
As the treatment progresses, the oil seeps through the skin, relieving inflammation and pain caused by arthritis, injuries, or overuse. After the oil retention, a gentle knee massage is performed to improve movement and eliminate residual stiffness.
Janu Basti not only offers physical relief but also provides a profound sense of relaxation, making it ideal for those who experience knee discomfort due to lifestyle or age.
