Janu Vasthi

Janu Vasthi

Januvasti is a specialized Ayurvedic treatment designed to nourish and heal the knee joint. The name itself is derived from Sanskrit, where “Janu” refers to the knee and “Vasti” means a pool, reflecting the technique of pooling warm, medicated oil over the knee area.

The treatment is highly beneficial for anyone suffering from knee-related issues. By immersing the knee in this warm, therapeutic oil, Januvasti helps to prevent the degeneration of the knee joint, increases the production of synovial fluid, and strengthens the tendons and ligaments surrounding the knee. This results in reduced stiffness, enhanced flexibility, and overall improved joint function. The swathya bangalore ayurvedic centre helps patients tackle their joint pain with the specilalized treatment called Januvasti.

During the procedure, you will lie down comfortably with the affected leg extended. A dam-like structure is crafted around your knee using a special dough, creating a small, enclosed space. Warm, medicated oil is then carefully poured into this enclosed area, where it remains for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. The oil is periodically removed, reheated, and replenished to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the treatment. This process ensures that the knee joint receives deep, penetrating warmth and nourishment, aiding in its healing and rejuvenation.
