Januvasti-Janu Vasti is an ayurvedic therapy where the Janu (knee) is subjected to a therapy called Vasti (warm medicated oil placed over the knee joint). Vasti denotes “a compartment that holds” (in this case a pool of medicated oil). Janu Vasti is a localized procedure to treat diseases of the knee joint. In this therapy, warm, medicated, Dosha-specific oil is kept in contact with the skin of the knee joint, for a particular amount of time, using a ‘well’ made of a special black gram dough. This rejuvenating therapy has an extremely soothing and healing effect on the skin, muscles, joints, bones, and underlying structures of the knee joint. It is an effective therapy to treat knee disorders. It can be used for the treatment of various musculoskeletal disorders like osteoporosis, tendonitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ligament tear, etc. The entire Janu Vasti treatment procedure takes around 30 to 40 minutes. After the treatment duration is over, the flour and the oil are removed from the knee. Generally, hot water fomentation or Patra Pinda Sweda therapy is given at the end of the treatment. Some of the oils used in the therapy are Karpooradi tailam, Mahanarayana tailam, Dhanwantaram tailam, Ksheerabala tailam, Ashwagandhabalalakshadi tailam, Pinda tailam, Sahacharaji tailam, Murivenna, Kottomchukkadi tailam etc
