Kati Basti Treatment – Ayurvedic Therapy for Lower Back Pain & Sciatica
Kati Basti treatment at Vedantam Ayurveda is a specialised Ayurvedic procedure for chronic lower back pain, sciatica and lumbar stiffness, where warm medicated oil is retained over the lumbar spine.
A ring of black gram dough is placed over the lower back (kati pradesh) and filled with warm herbal oil. The oil is kept in place for 30-45 minutes, allowing the heat and herbal properties to deeply relax muscles and nourish the spine.
