Jaanu Basti
In Sanskrit, ‘Jaanu’ means knee and ‘Basti’ means to retain. Jaanu Basti. Janu Basti addresses the pain, stiffness, and discomfort of the knee. The movement of the knee joint makes locomotion easy, and the knee joint is in some sense one of the most important joints in the human body. Degeneration, inflammation, and injury are some of the key reasons for knee pain, and Janu Basti can help support these.
Jaanu Basti Therapy is an Ayurvedic, localized warm-oil therapy for the knee joints. A reservoir made of dough is placed around the knee, filled with warm, medicated herbal oils to penetrate deep tissues, reduce inflammation, and improve joint flexibility.
Jaanu Basti Therapy is an effective therapy for people experiencing ailments in the knee. The medicated oil used in the therapy effectively soothes pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the joints. Additionally, toxins are eliminated and joints are strengthened. The treatment involves pouring warm medicated oil on affected areas to rejuvenate the joints from within.

Scientific Research
Modern research highlights the efficacy of this external oleation therapy, particularly when used in comprehensive, multimodal regimens. Studies in peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine demonstrate that warm oil therapies, often paired with oral or structural supplements (e.g., glucosamine), significantly reduce pain and stiffness in patients with knee osteoarthritis compared to baseline symptoms. Additionally, controlled trials evaluating panchakarma-based treatments report significant improvements in physical function with zero adverse outcomes related directly to the oil application.
