Ayurveda Therapy - Kati Basti

Benefits of Kati Basti

This soothing treatment is a combination of herbal oil and massage applied to the lower back to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness. When muscles, ligaments, and tendons are warmed with herbal oils, they become relaxed, helping them to heal underlying conditions and relieve pain and stiffness. As a result of treatment, one's entire body is relaxed.

Procedure

This body part is afflicted with a disorder in which gram flour is placed on the affected area in the shape of a doughnut, sealed against the skin to create a water-tight reservoir. Warm medicated oil is then poured into this personal cistern to fend off infection and seep into the sacrolumbar region.

Although Kati Basti is commonly administered on the back, it can be very beneficial in other places where joint pain may occur, such as the knees and shoulders. Our qualified doctors prescribe the oil that is used specifically for the client so that the oil is compatible with their dosha, as well as ensuring maximum effectiveness. Joint pain, low back pain, menstrual cramps and urinary tract disorders are all treated with this method. At the Best Kati Basti Centre in Rishikesh many patients have received successful treatment.
