Kati Basti: Ayurvedic Therapy for Lower Back Pain
If long hours of sitting leave your lower back stiff and achy, Kati Basti is one of Ayurveda's most targeted and soothing therapies for exactly that area.
What Kati Basti is
A small dam of dough is placed on the lower back to form a reservoir, which is then filled with warm, medicated oil and left to soak the area for a period of time. The sustained warmth and oil are traditionally used to ease stiffness and discomfort in the lower back.
Why people choose it
- Chronic lower-back tension and stiffness
- Discomfort that builds from prolonged sitting
- A deeply warming, relaxing experience focused on one area
What to expect
You'll lie face down while the warm oil rests over your lower back. It's a calm, unhurried treatment. Because oil is involved, plan a gentle rest of the day, and share any allergies, skin sensitivities, pregnancy, or health conditions beforehand.
Soothe a tired back
If lower-back stiffness is a regular companion, Kati Basti offers warmth and relief. Our Ayurvedic treatments are delivered in a calm, professional space.
