Kati Basti is an Ayurvedic localized heat and oil retention therapy specifically engineered to relieve severe lower back pain, sciatica, and lumbar disc inflammation. A reservoir formed from black gram dough is positioned over the lower back and filled with warm medicated herbal oil for 30 to 40 minutes.
How Kati Basti Relieves Back Strain
- Deep Thermal Penetration: Warm oil softens spinal muscles and increases nerve blood flow.
- Joint Lubrication: Medicated oils nourish dried intervertebral discs and lumbar joints.
- Nerve Calming: Relieves sciatica nerve pressure and inflammation.
