Kati Basti is an Ayurvedic therapy that targets the lower back. It involves applying warm herbal oils directly to the lumbar region. The therapist forms a dough ring around the lower back to hold the oil in place. The warm oil soothes and heals the muscles, joints, and tissues in the area. Kati Basti effectively relieves back pain, stiffness, and tension. This therapy promotes healing and relaxation, supporting the body’s natural recovery process.

Kati Basti provides significant relief for those dealing with lower back issues. It reduces chronic pain and alleviates muscle stiffness and inflammation. The warm oil improves blood circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the back muscles. This speeds up the healing process and reduces discomfort. Kati Basti increases flexibility in the back, helping you move more easily. It also eases tension in the muscles, making it beneficial for those with stress-related tightness. For individuals with sciatica or herniated discs, Kati Basti helps relieve pain and improves mobility. The therapy also promotes detoxification, eliminating toxins from the body. Additionally, it calms the nervous system, helping reduce stress and promoting relaxation.

During Kati Basti, you lie face down while the therapist prepares your lower back. The therapist places a dough ring around your back, creating a barrier to hold the warm herbal oil. They then pour the heated oil into the ring, covering your lower back. The oil sits for 20 to 30 minutes, allowing the heat to penetrate the muscles and tissues. The warmth helps to release tightness and improve circulation. The therapist may gently massage your back to enhance the oil's effect. Afterward, the therapist removes the oil and cleanses the area. Most people feel immediate relief from pain and stiffness, and regular sessions bring lasting benefits.
