Januvasti Ayurvedic Therapy

Knee pain can be debilitating, making everyday activities like walking or running very challenging. Ayurveda offers a natural, effective solution without side effects or surgery. Januvasti Ayurvedic therapy is a traditional treatment gaining popularity for its ability to relieve knee pain. It’s accessible, cost-effective, and provides a promising alternative for those seeking relief from knee discomfort. 

What is Januvasti?

Januvasti is an amazing Ayurvedic therapy designed to help with knee pain. The name “Januvasti” comes from two Sanskrit words: “Janu,” which means knee, and “vasti,” which means to hold. So, Januvasti means holding warm, healing oils on the knee to soothe pain and promote healing.

How We Do Januvasti Therapy at Revine

1. Preparation: At Revine Naturopathy, we start by preparing the knee area for Januvasti. We gently massage the knee with special oils to relax the muscles and get the blood flowing. This step helps the treatment work better.

2. Making the Container: Next, we create a small ring around the knee using a dough made from black gram flour. This dough ring is designed to hold the warm, medicated oils without any leaks. It keeps the oils in place and ensures they stay on the knee throughout the therapy.

3. Pouring the Oil: We then warm up herbal oils that are chosen based on your specific needs. The oils are heated to around 40-45 degrees Celsius. We carefully pour these warm oils into the dough ring around the knee. The warm oils gently soak into the knee joint, helping to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. We keep the oil warm by reheating it in a hot water bath and adding more as needed.

4. Retention and Massage: The warm oil stays on the knee for about 30-45 minutes. As it cools down, we use a cotton gauze to squeeze out the oil and repeat the process. After the oil is removed, we massage the knee to help the oil get fully absorbed and to boost the healing process. The dough ring is then taken off, and we let you rest for a bit. For the best results, we use the same oil for the first three days. On the fourth day, we switch to fresh oil.

5. Final Steps: After the therapy, we remove any extra oil and give the knee a gentle massage. We might also cover the knee with a warm cloth to keep it warm and continue the healing.
