Janu Vasti is a specialized ayurvedic treatment to relieve the knee pain caused due to arthritis by strengthening the knee muscles and joints. The treatment is performed by pouring & pooling medicated oils for a fixed duration of time in a compartment constructed around the knee joints using wet flour of black gram.
It consists of mainly three procedures – Purva Karma, Pradhana Karma, and Paschat Karma. Cases of knee pain have increased significantly over the years and their numbers continue to rise. Chronic knee pain can be debilitating, as it restricts the patient’s movement and prevents them from performing everyday activities.
