Warm medicated oil retained over the knee joints within a dough ring, lubricating the joints and easing knee pain.
A session runs about 30-45 minutes. Warm medicated oil held in place over a specific region, or administered as a classical Panchakarma procedure.
Jaanu Vasti is carried out at Sri Vinayaga Ayurvibe, a government-certified Ayurveda hospital at Nookampalayam, Perumbakkam, Chennai 600131 — within reach of Medavakkam, Sholinganallur, OMR, Pallikaranai, Velachery and Tambaram.
Jaanu Vasti is used for relieves knee pain, helps osteoarthritis, lubricates knee joints, improves mobility.
What happens in a session: For a localised vasti a ring of dough is built on the skin over the area being treated — the lower back, knee, neck or eyes. Warm medicated oil is poured inside the ring and held at temperature, topped up as it cools, for the length of the session. The oil and dough are removed, the area is wiped, and gentle massage or a warm compress follows. Classical Panchakarma vasti is a different, doctor-supervised procedure and is always planned as part of a course, never as a single session.
Before you come: Come with a light stomach and use the bathroom before the session begins. You will need to lie still for a sustained period — tell us if that is difficult. These therapies work as a course. Expect the doctor to plan several days rather than one appointment.
Whether Jaanu Vasti suits you is decided at consultation, not at booking. Dr.V.Vaitheeshwari B.A.M.S., assesses your constitution, your history and your current medication first. Sri Vinayaga Ayurvibe is open every day from 10 AM to 8 PM at Nookampalayam, Perumbakkam, Chennai 600131.
