Description
Kati Basti is a deeply healing Ayurvedic therapy designed to treat lower back pain, lumbar stiffness, and spinal disorders. In this treatment, a reservoir made of herbal dough is built over the lumbar-sacral region (Kati), and warm medicated oil is slowly poured and retained within it. The sustained warmth and herbal infusion allow for deep penetration, pain relief, and rejuvenation of spinal muscles and nerves.
Procedure Includes:
- Mild massage around the lower back to relax tissues
- Creation of a sealed herbal dough ring over the lower back
- Slow pouring of warm Ayurvedic medicated oil (like Dashmoola or Mahanarayan)
- Retention for 20–30 minutes, followed by gentle massage or steam (optional)
✨ Benefits:
- Relieves chronic back pain, sciatica, and disc problems
- Reduces lumbar stiffness, tightness, and inflammation
- Nourishes intervertebral discs and spinal muscles
- Enhances flexibility and posture
- Balances Vata dosha in the lower back
Kati Basti is ideal for:
- People with sedentary lifestyles, long sitting hours
- Those suffering from herniated discs, spinal degeneration, or postural imbalances
- Individuals recovering from back injuries or strain
