About Janu Vasti
Janu Vasti is localised Vasti therapy over the knee joint, commonly used in chronic knee osteoarthritis once active inflammation is controlled. The sustained warm oil bath to the joint region supports cartilage nourishment, reduces stiffness, and provides local pain relief.
When Janu Vasti may — and may not — be appropriate
May be appropriate for
- Knee osteoarthritis (non-acute)
- Chronic knee pain
- Post-injury chronic knee stiffness
When it should NOT be done
- Active knee inflammation (red, hot, swollen) — treated first
- Septic arthritis
- Recent knee surgery
- Always a physician-judged call based on current joint state
The decision is always individualised by your treating physician.
What to Expect During Janu Vasti
Localised warmth; stiffness and pain usually reduce over the course.
