Kati Basti (Lower back therapy)

Kati Vasti – Ayurvedic Relief for Back Pain and Spinal Issues

Kati Vasti is a powerful Ayurvedic therapy known for its remarkable effectiveness in treating back pain and various spine-related conditions. Rooted in ancient healing wisdom, this treatment focuses on the lower back region—specifically the lumbosacral area—offering targeted relief from pain, stiffness, and discomfort.

In this process, a dough-like boundary made of herbal paste is created over the lower back, and warm, medicated oil is gently poured and retained within it. The oil seeps deep into the tissues, working to soothe inflammation, relax muscles, and rejuvenate the underlying structures. A typical session lasts between 45 minutes to 1 hour, making it both relaxing and therapeutic.

Kati Vasti is especially beneficial for conditions like:

• Chronic lower back pain

• Sciatica

• Lumbar spondylosis

• Herniated or prolapsed discs

• Spinal dislocations and stiffness
