Kati Vasthi

Kati Vasthi

Kati Vasti is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy designed to treat lower back problems. In this treatment, warm medicated oil is held over the lower back to help relieve pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms. This therapy is especially useful for conditions like sciatica, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spondylitis.

The procedure involves creating a ring from black gram dough, which is placed on the lower back. Warm oil is then poured into this ring, where it stays for about 30 to 45 minutes. This allows the oil to deeply penetrate the tissues, lubricating the joints, nourishing the muscles, and promoting relaxation.

Kati Vasti not only improves flexibility and eases sciatic pain, but it also helps reduce stress. Additionally, it can relieve back pain related to poor circulation, digestive issues, menstrual cramps, and respiratory problems. At Swasthya Ayurvedic Centre, our trained doctors and therapists apply this therapy safely and effectively, enhancing the overall health of the lower back region.

However, Kati Vasti is not recommended for those with acute fever or infections, recent back surgery, open wounds, severe osteoporosis, pregnancy, active inflammation, recent spinal fractures, bleeding disorders, or allergies to the medicated oil.
