At Advait Ayurveda, it is given under Dr. Kalpit N. Goswami for knee osteoarthritis, stiffness and pain, usually as a short course of sessions.

How Janu Basti helps
Knee osteoarthritis is understood in Ayurveda as Sandhigata Vata: dryness and wear of the joint. Holding warm, Vata-calming medicated oil over the knee nourishes the tissues, eases stiffness and improves movement. It works best combined with Ayurvedic medicines, weight control and strengthening exercises.
