What Is Knee Basti? • This treatment is also known as Janu Vasti. The term has two terms: • Janu – means Knee joint • Basti – means to hold • Thus Knee Basti implies a treatment in which medicated oils are poured and pooled for a fixed duration of time in a cabin constructed around the knee joint/joints using wet flour of black gram.
1. Osteoarthritis of the Knee Joint • Mostly it occurs in people 50 years of age and older. It also may happen in younger people. • In this case, the cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears away. • That leads to pain, stiffness, swelling and disturbance of movements along with click sounds when the joint is mobilized.
2. Osgood-Schlatter Disease • This disease causes a painful bump below the knee, where a tendon from the knee-cap connects to the shin. • Overuse and irritation usually create it at the tendon insertion known as the tibial tubercle. • The pain may come and go over time. It is common for teenage boys and girls.
3. Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome • Patellofemoral often results from issues associated with muscle imbalance, tightness and alignment of the legs, rather than an injury. • Pain is present between the patella and the underlying thighbone (femur). • It is common in athletes, young adults especially those who have a slight misalignment of the kneecap.
4. Knee Injuries • ACL (Anterior cruciate ligament) injury – An ACL injury is the tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament – one of the four ligaments that connect your shinbone to your thigh bone. • An ACL injury is common in people playing basketball, soccer or other sports that require sudden changes in direction.
1. Positioning of the Patient • Janu Vasti is done in the morning when the Kapha symptoms predominate in the knee, in the noon when pitta symptoms predominate and in the evening if Vata symptoms pain. • The patient is asked to come or attend the treatment (Panchakarma) on the empty stomach because while doing knee basti, the patient has to sleep in the prone position. • The patient is positioned and made to lie on his belly on a comfortable couch.
2. Wet Floor For The Treatment • Pounded black gram flour is taken in a sterile bowl or vessel. • Water is added to it and kneaded well to develop a bolus.
3. Preparation and Construction of Knee Basti Ring • From this bolus, a circle is made. • The ring should be having a diameter to accommodate and enclose the knee joint within it. • It means to tell that when the ring of wet flour is placed on the knee joint. • The height of the ring should be at least 5-6 inches.
4. Method of Oil Pooling • The chosen medicated oil is heated. • The required quantity of oil you should take in a small bowl. • The bowl is kept in the vessel filled with hot water. • When the oil gets warm, the pan is removed.
5. Recycling of Oil • Care should be taken to maintain the temperature of the oil in the Knee Basti pool. • The temperature should be kept uniform throughout the procedure.
