Knee Health with Janu Basti

🦵 Your knees weren’t designed to sit for 10 hours… or sprint for 90 minutes!

Yet every day we ask them to do exactly that.

Whether you’re working behind a computer, standing all day, climbing stairs, lifting heavy loads, playing soccer or basketball, running, hiking, or keeping up with young children, your knees absorb thousands of movements and impacts every single day.

Over time, this constant stress can dry out and weaken the tissues around the joint. You might notice stiffness when you get up, clicking or crunching, reduced flexibility, discomfort after exercise, or aching that lingers long after your day is done.

In Ayurveda, these are often signs that Vata has accumulated in the joint. Vata is the dosha responsible for movement, and when it becomes aggravated, the joints can become dry, rough, painful and less stable.

🙌🏽 JANU BASTI is one of Ayurveda’s most effective therapies for supporting knee health.

A reservoir is gently created around the knee and filled with warm, medicated herbal oil. The oil is kept at a therapeutic temperature, allowing it to deeply nourish the muscles, ligaments, tendons and joint tissues while calming excess Vata.

Benefits may include:
🎗️Improved joint lubrication
🎗️Reduced stiffness and discomfort
🎗️Greater mobility and flexibility
🎗️Support for recovery after physical activity
🎗️Deep nourishment for ageing or overworked knees

Janu Basti isn’t just for people with knee pain.

It’s for anyone who wants to keep moving well—whether you’re an athlete, a weekend warrior, a tradie, an office worker, or simply someone who wants healthy, resilient knees for years to come.

Your knees carry you through every step of life.

Perhaps it’s time to give something back 🤺🏄🏻♀️🏌🏼♀️⛹🏼♂️🧗🏻♂️🚴♂️🧘🏼♀️
