3. WHAT IS JANU BASTI?
The word "Janu" means "knee" in Sanskrit, but in this context, it refers to the
lower back region of the body, which is also known as the "janu marma" or
"vital spot". "Basti" means "container" or "retention", so in this treatment, a
small dough ring is placed over the lower back and filled with warm
medicated oil or ghee.
The warmth and pressure of the oil or ghee help to nourish the tissues and
joints of the lower back area, reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and
improving flexibility.

and the Ayurvedic practitioner prepares the dough ring
made of black gram flour or wheat flour. The ring is then
placed over the lower back area, covering the affected
region.

5. 2. Filling the dough ring: The practitioner then fills the ring with warm,
medicated oil or ghee, which is retained for a specific duration
depending on the patient's condition and health status.
3. Massaging: The practitioner may also massage the affected area
before and after the Basti treatment, to further enhance its effectiveness.
