Kati means back and basti means retention of oil. Kativasti is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy designed to provide targeted relief for back pain and promote overall spine health.
Kati means back and basti means retention of oil.
How is it done?
During this treatment, a well of green gram flour dough (basti) is formed on the lower back (kati) to retain a potent, nourishing, and anti-inflammatory oil for transdermal absorption.
How does it work?
The retention of oil on the targeted area allows for transdermal (through the skin) absorption of the oil and essence of herbs, improving blood circulation to the lower back and spine. The oil is processed with very potent herbs with nourishing, anti-inflammatory, and muscle relaxant properties. It also enhances the strength of the ligaments and muscles in that area.
