Kati Basti is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment designed specifically for alleviating lower back pain and related conditions. This therapy focuses on balancing the Vata dosha, which is primarily responsible for bodily movements and is often linked to musculoskeletal pain. Kati Basti is highly effective for treating conditions like lumbar spondylosis, sciatica, and general stiffness in the lower back area.
Procedure
The procedure begins with the patient lying on their stomach while a ring-like structure is formed using dough and placed over the lumbar region. Warm medicated oil, selected based on the patient’s specific condition, is then poured into this dough ring. The oil is retained for 20 to 40 minutes, during which its warmth penetrates deeply into the tissues, muscles, and joints. The temperature is maintained by reheating or replacing the oil when necessary.
Therapeutic Benefits
Kati Basti is renowned for its ability to relieve chronic lower back pain, stiffness, and inflammation. The warm medicated oil nourishes the tissues, relaxes the muscles, and enhances blood circulation, promoting healing. It is also beneficial in cases of herniated discs, degenerative spinal issues, and muscle spasms. The therapy reduces stress and strain on the lower back, improving overall flexibility and mobility.
Holistic Impact
Beyond physical relief, Kati Basti promotes mental relaxation. The therapy helps reduce stress, calms the nervous system, and enhances emotional well-being by releasing trapped tensions in the body.
