Kati Basti – Ayurvedic Therapy for Lower Back Pain Relief
Discover the Healing Power of Kati Basti
Chronic back pain, stiffness, or disc issues can make everyday activities difficult. If you’re looking for a natural and soothing solution for lower back problems, Kati Basti offers effective Ayurvedic relief. This warm oil therapy is designed specifically to treat the lumbar (Kati) region, providing deep nourishment to the muscles, nerves, and bones while relieving pain and inflammation.
What is Kati Basti?
Kati Basti is a specialized Ayurvedic treatment where a reservoir made of black gram dough is placed over the lower back, and warm medicated oil is gently poured and retained within it for a specific duration. The warmth of the oil penetrates deeply into the tissues, helping to alleviate pain, relax stiff muscles, and promote healing in the lower spine and surrounding structures.
It is particularly beneficial for treating lumbar spondylosis, sciatica, herniated discs, and chronic lower back pain.
Benefits of Kati Basti
Opting for Kati Basti can provide multiple therapeutic benefits:
- Relieves lower back pain, stiffness, and inflammation
- Strengthens spinal muscles and nourishes vertebral discs
- Improves mobility and flexibility of the lumbar region
- Helps in conditions like sciatica, slipped disc, and lumbar spondylosis
- Enhances blood flow and calms the nervous system
- Reduces stress and promotes deep relaxation
Ideal Candidates for Kati Basti
Kati Basti is recommended for individuals who:
Suffer from chronic or acute lower back pain
Experience stiffness or muscle tension in the lumbar area
Have disc prolapse, sciatica, or spinal degeneration
Lead a sedentary lifestyle or spend long hours sitting
Are recovering from spinal injuries or back surgeries

Precautions for Kati Basti
Before starting Kati Basti , a detailed consultation with an Ayurvedic physician is important. While this therapy is generally safe, it should be avoided in cases of open wounds, infections, or during menstruation. Personalized oil selection and treatment planning are essential for the best results.
How is Kati Basti Performed?
The process of Kati Basti follows a precise Ayurvedic method:
Preparation: A leak-proof ring made of black gram dough is placed over the lower back.
Oil Infusion: Warm medicated oil is slowly poured into the ring and retained for a set time.
Therapeutic Action: The heat and herbal properties penetrate deep into the tissues, reducing inflammation and pain.
Post-Therapy Massage: After removing the oil, the area is gently massaged to enhance circulation and relaxation.
