Kati Vasti (also known as Kati Basti) is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy designed to treat lower back pain, stiffness, and discomfort. The treatment involves the application of warm, medicated herbal oil to the lower back area, which is retained in a specially constructed dough ring (made from wheat flour) that forms a reservoir around the lower back (Kati) region. This allows the therapeutic oil to penetrate deeply into the tissues, providing relief from pain and inflammation.

The warmth of the medicated oil helps to relax muscles, increase circulation, and ease stiffness in the lower back area. Kati Vasti is particularly effective for conditions such as chronic lower back pain, sciatica, herniated discs, and spinal issues. By balancing the Vata dosha, this treatment provides not only physical relief but also helps calm the nervous system, promoting relaxation and healing.

Benefits of Kati Vasti:

• Relieves Lower Back Pain: Provides immediate relief from pain, stiffness, and discomfort in the lumbar region, especially for people with chronic lower back issues.
• Reduces Inflammation: The medicated oils used in the therapy help reduce inflammation, alleviating pain associated with conditions like sciatica and herniated discs.
• Improves Spinal Health: Enhances flexibility and mobility in the lower back, improving overall spinal health and function.
• Promotes Relaxation: The warmth of the oil and its soothing properties relax both muscles and the nervous system, promoting deep relaxation.
• Supports Healing: The deep penetration of herbal oils into the tissues aids in the healing of injuries, muscle spasms, and joint disorders in the lower back.

Ideal for:

• Individuals suffering from chronic lower back pain, sciatica, or herniated discs.
• Those with muscle stiffness, spinal problems, or lumbar issues.
• People seeking relief from inflammation and tension in the lower back.

Aftercare:

• Rest for the remainder of the day to allow the body to fully absorb the therapeutic benefits of the treatment.
• Avoid strenuous activities or heavy lifting for 24 hours after the therapy.
• Drink plenty of water to support the body’s detoxification process and reduce any residual inflammation.
