What is Janu Pichu?

Janu Pichu Treatment is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy for treating knee problems. The word Janu means "knee" in Sanskrit and “Pichu” is a soft cotton pad soaked in warm medicated oil. This therapy uses oil-soaked pads that are placed over the knees to relieve pain and stiffness.

It works by allowing the warm healing oil to get into the knee joint and surrounding tissues. This relaxes muscles, decreases inflammation, and also lubricates joints, which in turn makes motion easier. The oils chosen are customised for the person's needs and contain anti-inflammatory and nourishing substances like sesame oil, Bala Thailam or Dhanwantharam Thailam.

Janu Pichu is a safe and non-invasive therapy. It is useful for people who suffer from arthritis, tendon injuries, knee stiffness and also age-related joint deterioration. The warmth of the oil eases physical discomfort and increases blood circulation for quicker healing. This gentle but powerful treatment follows Ayurveda's philosophy of balancing the body's natural energies. It is therefore suitable for knee issues & improving the overall health of the person.

How is Janu Pichu Performed by Jiva Experts?

At Jiva Ayurveda, Janu Pichu Therapy is done by Ayurvedic therapists who are skilled in traditional techniques. Each session starts with a thorough meeting with an Ayurvedic doctor who examines your physical condition, dosha imbalances and knee issues. Based on this individualised assessment, the proper medicated oil is selected, prepared and warmed to an appropriate temperature.

During the treatment, you are comfortably seated in a calming environment. The therapist carefully places warm, medicated, oil-soaked cotton pads over your knee joint. The pads are moved to cover the affected area for optimum therapeutic benefit. The quantity and temperature of oil are also closely monitored to avoid a variation in the session.

The treatment is precisely performed to make sure the warm oil gets deeply into the knee tissues to reduce inflammation and pain. A light massage around the knee region is also done to increase the absorption of the oils and promote blood circulation.

At Jiva Ayurveda, we customise the therapy for every patient’s needs differently. Our expertise and personalised care coupled with a peaceful setting make sure that each session helps you relax while healing the knees.
