Overview
What is Ayurvedic Knee Comfort & Mobility Ritual — Janu Basti?
Janu Basti is a traditional Ayurvedic localised oil-retention ritual. A traditional dough reservoir is placed around the knee and filled with comfortably warm herbal oil. The warmth is retained over the area before gentle localised Ayurvedic massage.
The experience centres on sustained warmth, knee comfort, relaxation around the joint, easing the feeling of stiffness and comfortable movement.
Privacy & Comfort
Massage is not performed on private or intimate areas of the body. Your privacy, dignity and comfort are respected throughout the treatment.
