The knee joint is called JanuSandhi in Sanskrit; hence the name JanuBasti is given to the procedure done on knee joints. In this the knee area is massaged with the oil and then a dough or reservoir is made on the kneecap. Warm medicated oil is then poured and pooled for some time. Depending on the condition it can be practiced over both the knee joints or on one knee joint. Knee joints are considered as sandhiMarma in Ayurveda (joint type of vital areas) which measure about three fingers (three angulipramana). So the JanuVasti is specialized knee therapy or massage which rejuvenates the janumarma.
