Janu Vasthy Treatment at Dhruva Ayurveda Vaidyashala
Introduction to Janu Vasthy Treatment
At Dhruva Ayurveda Vaidyashala, we specialize in ancient Ayurvedic therapies that promote natural healing and holistic well-being. Among our wide range of treatments, Janu Vasthy stands out as a powerful and effective therapy specifically designed for knee-related issues. The name “Janu Vasthy” is derived from “Janu,” which means knee in Sanskrit, and “Vasthy,” which means to retain. This treatment involves the application of medicated herbal oils retained on the knee joint using a specially prepared dough boundary.
Janu Vasthy is a renowned therapy in Ayurveda, addressing joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness. It is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and knee injuries. This treatment not only alleviates pain but also helps to restore the natural mobility and strength of the knee joints.
What is Janu Vasthy Treatment?
Janu Vasthy is a therapeutic procedure where warm medicated herbal oils are poured and retained in a compartment built around the knee joint using a dough-like structure. This therapy is part of the Panchakarma detoxification process, aimed at rejuvenating the knee joint by providing nourishment to the tissues, alleviating inflammation, and relieving pain.
The oils used in Janu Vasthy are carefully chosen based on the patient’s specific condition and dosha imbalance. These oils, enriched with anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and rejuvenating properties, penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting healing from within. The therapy helps lubricate the joints, enhance circulation, and improve flexibility.
How Does Janu Vasthy Work?
Janu Vasthy treatment follows a well-defined process to deliver maximum therapeutic benefits. Here’s how the therapy works:
Preparation of the Medicated Oil: The process begins with the preparation of the medicated oils, which are infused with a blend of Ayurvedic herbs such as Ashwagandha, Dashamoola, Guggulu, and Shallaki. These herbs are known for their anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
Building the Dough Boundary: A dough made of black gram or whole wheat flour is used to create a circular compartment around the knee joint. This structure is carefully sealed to prevent any oil leakage.
Pouring the Warm Oil: Warm herbal oil is gently poured into the dough compartment, ensuring it covers the knee joint. The temperature of the oil is maintained throughout the procedure to enhance its absorption and therapeutic effects.
Retention of the Oil: The oil is retained in the compartment for 20 to 40 minutes, allowing it to deeply penetrate the tissues, muscles, and ligaments of the knee joint. This process helps to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness.
Gentle Massage: After the oil is drained, a gentle massage is performed around the knee area to further stimulate circulation and relax the muscles.
Post-Treatment Care: The treatment concludes with advice on lifestyle and dietary changes to support healing and improve overall joint health.
