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.
