Ayurvedic Warm Oil Therapy for the Knees

Janu Basti is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment in which a dam of black gram dough is constructed around the knee joint and filled with warm, medicated oil. The oil is held in place for an extended period, allowing deep penetration into the joint tissues — nourishing cartilage, lubricating the joint space, and calming the aggravated vata that underlies most chronic knee pain and stiffness.

This treatment is particularly indicated for those experiencing joint degeneration, post-injury stiffness, runner's knee, osteoarthritis, or the creaking, crackling quality that comes with age and dryness in the joints. It is equally valuable as a preventive measure for active people — hikers, dancers, athletes — who place sustained demand on their knees.

A single session includes warm oil application, the basti holding period, and therapeutic massage of the surrounding musculature. A series of treatments is recommended for deeper structural benefit.
