The treatment
About this service
Kati means lower back. Basti, in the context of Kati basti, means “staying for some time”.
It is an Ayurveda Therapy where medicated oil is kept on specific parts of the body with pain or inflammation, such as the lower back, knee joint, back of neck etc. for a certain period of time using a ring-like arrangement made of dough. The temperature of the oil is maintained by changing the oil and pouring more warm oil.
Musculoskeletal disorders are mainly due to aggravated vata dosha which can create dryness, stiffness, pain and tightness in the affected areas. Additionally, aggravation of pitta dosha may cause inflammation in the area which leads to more pain. This therapy helps in balancing both vata and pitta, reducing the stiffness, pain and inflammation of the region
This treatment can be done for the specific affected area of the body like the cervical /back of neck (Greeva basti), left side of the chest (Hrid Basti), navel area (Nabhi Basti).
