Janu basti (Oil retention therapy for painful knee)

Description
Are you tired of knee pain and discomfort? Janu basti is a specialized Ayurvedic treatment that offers targeted relief and rejuvenation for your knees.

Janu means knee and basti means retention of oil.

 

How is it done?
Janu basti involves the retention of warm medicated oil on the knee joint, held within a well of green gram flour dough (basti). This unique treatment allows the specially formulated oil, enriched with nourishing herbs, to deeply penetrate the skin and provide a range of therapeutic benefits.

 

How does it work?
When the medicated oil is retained on the affected area for a specific time, it facilitates the transdermal (through the skin) absorption of the oil and essence of herbs, increasing blood circulation to the affected joint. It also gives strength to the ligaments and muscles in that area.

 

What are the different types of oil used for Janu basti?
  • Murivenna
