Lower back healing
Kati Basti is a therapeutic treatment where warm medicated oil is retained on the lower back, providing deep relief for chronic pain and stiffness. The treatment uses a dough reservoir to hold warm herbalized oil directly over the lumbar spine area.
Lower back & spine
Marma point activation
Kati Basti uses a dough ring placed over the lumbar spine to hold warm herbalized oil. The sustained heat and medicinal oils penetrate deep into the tissues, easing muscle spasm, nourishing the discs, and supporting long-term back health.
Pain relief
Deep relief from chronic lower back pain and muscle tension, allowing the nervous system to relax and the mind to settle.
Increased mobility
Improved flexibility and range of motion in the spine; reduced stiffness and holding patterns that contribute to stress and fatigue.
Spinal support
Strengthens the lower back and provides structural support, nourishing tissues and supporting restful sleep as pain eases.
Therapeutic benefits of Kati Basti
This localized treatment works on the lumbar and sacral area to relieve pain, improve mobility, and support long-term back health.
Head & scalp therapy
Primary focus
Kati Basti focuses on the lower back—the lumbar spine and sacrum—where chronic pain, stiffness, and postural strain often accumulate. The warm oil and sustained heat soften tissues, ease muscle spasm, and support spinal mobility.
Integration & lifestyle after treatment
The benefits continue for 24-48 hours after treatment. Stay hydrated, avoid heavy lifting or intense exercise for a few hours, and allow your back to rest.
