During a Kati Basti treatment, a warm, medicated oil is poured into a dam created on the skin over the affected area, typically the lumbar region. The oil is retained for a period of time, allowing it to penetrate deep into the tissues, nourishing and soothing the muscles, nerves, and joints.
Kati Basti is beneficial for:
- Lower back pain and stiffness
- Sciatica and nerve irritation
- Herniated discs and spinal degeneration
- Muscle spasms and tension
- Improving flexibility and range of motion
This gentle and non-invasive treatment is often used in conjunction with other Ayurvedic therapies, such as massage, yoga, and herbal remedies, to provide comprehensive relief from lower back pain.
