Kati Basti: Ayurvedic Therapy for Lower Back Pain at Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital, we offer Kati Basti, a specialized Panchakarma therapy designed to alleviate lower back pain, sciatica, and lumbar spine disorders. This rejuvenating procedure involves forming a reservoir of warm, medicated oil over the lower back and allowing it to be absorbed by the skin, providing deep relief and nourishment.

Benefits of Kati Basti

Pain Relief: Alleviates lower back pain, sciatica, and other lumbar spine issues.
Reduces Inflammation: Helps reduce inflammation and swelling in the lower back.
Nourishes and Strengthens: Fortifies the muscles, ligaments, and joints, enhancing their flexibility and strength.
Improves Circulation: Promotes blood flow to the lower back, expediting healing and relieving stiffness.
Calms the Nervous System: Soothes the nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety.
Balances Vata Dosha: Pacifies Vata dosha, which is often the root cause of lower back pain and sciatica.

Indications for Kati Basti

Kati Basti is effective in managing:

Lower Back Pain: Chronic or acute pain in the lumbar region.
Sciatica: Pain radiating down the leg due to nerve compression.
Spondylosis: Degenerative changes in the spine.
Lumbar Disc Problems: Herniated or bulging discs.
Muscle Spasms: Stiffness and spasms in the lower back muscles.

Mode of Action

Kati Basti achieves its therapeutic effects through:

Snehana (Oleation): The continuous application of warm, medicated oil penetrates the skin deeply, nourishing and revitalizing tissues.
Swedana (Sudation): The warmth generated by the oil and massage enhances circulation, reduces stiffness, and alleviates inflammation.
Vata Balancing: Helps pacify Vata dosha, which is typically aggravated in lumbar spine disorders.

Regimen During Treatment

Pre-Kati Basti: Consume a light meal before the procedure.
During Kati Basti: Relax and enjoy the soothing warmth of the medicated oil.
Post-Kati Basti: Take a short rest to optimize the treatment’s benefits. Avoid exposure to cold immediately after the session.

Fitness for Treatment

While Kati Basti is safe for most individuals, it is not recommended for those with:

Acute infections such as fever, cold, or flu.
Skin infections or open wounds in the lower back region.
Severe heart conditions (consultation with a physician is advised).
