Marma point activation

JanuBasti uses slow, rhythmic movements to open marma points on the scalp and upper spine, improving circulation and softening physical and emotional tension stored in the cranial tissues.

Calms the mind

Reduces overthinking and mental chatter, bringing deep peace to an overactive mind.

Balances emotions

Harmonizes the nervous system, releasing stored tension and emotional blockages.

Restores sleep

Regulates melatonin production and sleep cycles for deep, restorative rest.

Therapeutic benefits of JanuBasti

This specialized head massage works on multiple levels to calm the mind, release tension, and restore nervous system balance.

Head & scalp therapy

Primary focus

JanuBasti focuses on the head, scalp, neck, and shoulders, areas where tension accumulates from stress, screen time, and mental overactivity. The warm herbal oils and marma point stimulation restore pranic flow and nervous system balance.

Frequently asked questions about Janu Basti

A dough dam is formed around one or both kneecaps and filled with warm medicated oil so heat and herbs target the joint capsule and surrounding tissues. It is chosen for stiffness, clicking, or aching knees rather than for sports-deep friction massage alone.
Retention often runs 20–30 minutes per side after setup; the full appointment is usually close to an hour including massage integration. We rewarm oil as needed for comfort.
Kati Basti focuses on the lower back; Janu Basti isolates the knee. If both areas bother you, we may alternate treatments on different days rather than overload heat in one visit.
Tell us if you have a prosthesis, recent scope, ligament tear, or unstable swelling—sometimes we postpone or modify heat depth. Active infection over the joint is a clear contraindication.
Keep knees warm, avoid icy sports drinks right after, and skip aggressive squats the same day. Gentle walking and hydration support the lubricating effect many people feel the next morning.
