Integrated Approach of Janubasti in Pain Management of Janusandhigatavata: A Review

Key Points

Janubasti alleviates pain and stiffness associated with janusandhigatavata, improving patient mobility and quality of life.
The literature indicates that around 28.7% of the global population may be affected by conditions similar to janusandhigatavata, emphasizing its relevance.
Reviewing classical texts reveals that janubasti provides essential oleation to degenerated cartilage, promoting healing and reducing discomfort.
The application of janubasti enhances blood flow and nutrient delivery to the joints, potentially restoring function in older adults suffering from joint issues.

Abstract

Aim and Objectives: To review literature on the role of Janubasti in the pain management of Janusandhigatavata. Materials and Methods: Review of Charak Samhita, Nighantus, and Panchakarma textbooks was conducted to understand the application and efficacy of Janubasti. Background: Janusandhigatavata, a form of Vata Vyadhi, presents with Sandhishool (joint pain), Sandhishotha (joint swelling), Sandhihanti (restricted movement), and Atopa (crepitus). It correlates with knee osteoarthritis in modern medicine, a degenerative disorder common in old age due to Dhatu Kshaya, lifestyle changes, and repetitive stress. The global prevalence is 28.7%, and in India, it ranges between 22-39%. Janubasti provides oleation (Snehana) to degenerating cartilage, improving pain, stiffness, and inflammation while enhancing oxygen and nutrient-rich blood flow to the joint, facilitating functional restoration. Conclusion: Janubasti effectively oleates degenerative cartilage, alleviating pain, stiffness, and restricted movement, thus improving the quality of life in Janusandhigatavata patients.
