The Janu Vasti Ayurvedic Treatment provides exceptional relief for various knee-related conditions, allowing you to live a more comfortable and mobile life for a longer period of time.

Janu Vasti

What is Janu Vasti Treatment?

Janu Vasti is a specialized external Ayurvedic treatment that translates to “knee retention” (“Janu” meaning knee, and “Vasti” meaning to hold or retain). It is a deeply nourishing and pain-relieving therapy where a warm, medicated herbal oil or ghee is retained in a well or dam created around the knee joint. This well is traditionally made from a dough of black gram flour, meticulously sealed to prevent any leakage. The therapeutic oil is kept at a consistent warm temperature for a specific duration, allowing its medicinal properties to penetrate deeply into the tissues, nourishing the joint, and alleviating discomfort.
This ancient therapy is a part of the Panchakarma sub-therapies, known for its ability to pacify aggravated Vata Dosha, which is often responsible for pain, stiffness, and degenerative changes in the joints.

Benefits of Janu Vasti Treatment

Janu Vasti offers a myriad of benefits, particularly for those suffering from knee pain and restricted mobility. Our patients at Dr. Hridyas Ayurveda Speciality Treatment Clinic in Dubai experience:

  • Significant Pain Relief: The warm medicated oils have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties that effectively reduce chronic and acute knee joint pain, including that caused by conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Improved Joint Mobility and Flexibility: By nourishing the joint tissues, reducing stiffness, and enhancing lubrication, Janu Vasti improves the range of motion and overall flexibility of the knee joint.
  • Strengthens Knee Joint Structures: The treatment strengthens the ligaments, tendons, and muscles surrounding the knee, improving circulation and promoting the health of the entire joint architecture.
  • Reduced Inflammation and Swelling: The anti-inflammatory herbs in the medicated oils help to calm inflamed tissues, leading to a reduction in swelling and discomfort.
  • Prevents Degeneration: Regular Janu Vasti sessions can help to slow down the degenerative changes in the knee joint, protecting cartilage and promoting tissue regeneration.
  • Detoxification and Nourishment: The warm oil helps in stimulating blood circulation and the lymphatic system, aiding in the removal of toxins (Ama) from the joint area and providing essential nourishment to the tissues.
  • Stress Relief and Relaxation: The soothing warmth and therapeutic process of Janu Vasti also have a calming effect on the nervous system, promoting overall relaxation and well-being.

Who Can Benefit from Janu Vasti?

Janu Vasti is highly recommended for a variety of knee-related conditions, including:

  • Osteoarthritis of the Knee Joint: A common degenerative joint disease causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
  • Chronic Knee Pain: Persistent knee pain due to various causes, including overuse, age-related wear and tear, or past injuries.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis (in specific stages and as per physician’s advice): Helps in managing inflammation and pain.
  • Ligament Tears and Sprains: Aids in the healing process and strengthens surrounding tissues.
  • Meniscal Damage: Supports the knee’s natural healing mechanisms.
  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Pain around the kneecap.
  • Popliteal Cyst: A fluid-filled sac behind the knee.
  • Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the knee.
  • Osteoporosis (affecting the knee): Helps in improving bone health around the joint.
  • Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS): Inflammation of the ligament running from the hip to the shin.
