Janu Basti is an Ayurvedic therapy focused on the knee joints. The word "Janu" refers to the knee, and "Basti" means the retention of a medicated oil or herbal decoction. In this therapy, a dough ring is placed around the knee joint, which is then filled with warm medicated oil or herbal decoction. The oil is retained in the knee region for a specific period, usually 20-30 minutes, to provide healing benefits for the knee and surrounding tissues.

Janu Basti is primarily used to treat various knee joint issues, including arthritis, osteoarthritis, knee pain, muscle stiffness, and ligament injuries. It helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote the overall health of the knee joint.
