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.
