AYUVERDA - KATI- BASTI is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy focused on relieving discomfort and restoring strength in the lower back. The word โKatiโ refers to the lower back, while โBastiโ means to hold or retainโdescribing the unique technique of pooling warm, medicated herbal oil over this area.
In this deeply therapeutic treatment, a ring made from herbal dough is gently placed on the lower back, creating a reservoir that is filled with warm oil. The oil is carefully maintained at a soothing temperature, allowing it to pe*****te deeply into muscles, joints, and tissues. This sustained warmth softens stiffness, improves circulation, and nourishes the spine.
โจ Benefits of Kati Basti:
Relieves lower back pain and stiffness
Eases muscle tension and spasms
Improves flexibility and mobility
Supports spinal health and posture
Calms the nervous system and promotes relaxation
Kati Basti is especially beneficial for those experiencing chronic back pain, fatigue from prolonged sitting or standing, or general weakness in the lower back. The treatment provides a comforting sense of groundingโlike a warm embrace that gently restores balance and strength.
More than a therapy, Kati Basti is a targeted healing ritualโbringing focused care, warmth, and relief to one of the bodyโs most vital support systems.
