Knee pain

Knee pain from degeneration, injury, or overuse responds exceptionally well to Ayurvedic therapies like Janu Basti, medicated oils, and strengthening protocols.

Ayurvedic Management of Knee Pain

Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, affecting people of all ages. Causes include osteoarthritis, ligament strain, meniscal issues, and age-related wear.

Ayurvedic Understanding

Knee pain (Janu Sandhigata Vata) is caused by Vata aggravation depleting synovial fluid, combined with possible Ama (toxin) accumulation causing inflammation and stiffness.

Our Treatment

Janu Basti (warm oil therapy on knees), Pinda Sweda (herbal bolus massage), Lepana (herbal paste application), internal herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, and knee-strengthening exercises form our protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Ayurveda help avoid knee replacement surgery?
In many cases, especially early-to-moderate osteoarthritis, Ayurvedic treatments significantly reduce pain and improve function, potentially delaying or avoiding surgery.
What is Janu Basti?
Janu Basti involves creating a dam with dough around the knee and filling it with warm medicated oil. This deeply penetrates and nourishes the joint for 20-30 minutes.
