Service Description

Kati Vasti is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy specifically designed to address lower back pain and related conditions. This therapeutic procedure involves the retention of warm medicated oil over the lower back region for a specified duration. The term "Kati" refers to the lower back in Sanskrit, while "Vasti" denotes a container or reservoir. Together, Kati Vasti translates to the application of a warm oil reservoir on the lower back. Procedure: You will be asked to lie face down on our massage table. A dough-like ring made from flour is prepared and placed on the lower back region to form a well (or affected area). Warm, medicated herbal oil is poured into the dough ring, filling it to a certain level. The oil is kept warm throughout the procedure by replacing it periodically. The oil is allowed to stay in the well for a specific duration, typically ranging from 20 to 40 minutes. During this time, the warmth and medicinal properties of the oil penetrate deep into the tissues and muscles. Health Benefits: Kati Vasti is highly effective in alleviating lower back pain, sciatica, and lumbar spondylosis. The warm medicated oil helps relax muscles and reduce inflammation, providing significant relief from pain and discomfort. The therapy can also help in reducing pain in the joints and muscles around the lower back, improving overall mobility. The warmth of the medicated oil and its therapeutic properties help in stimulating the digestive fire (Agni), which can improve digestion and metabolism. By promoting better circulation and relaxation of the abdominal muscles, Kati Vasti can help alleviate constipation and promote regular bowel movements. The therapy can help reduce bloating and discomfort in the abdominal region by enhancing the overall digestive process. The warmth of the oil and the soothing nature of the therapy help to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote overall relaxation. The therapy enhances the flexibility and mobility of the lower back muscles and joints, making it easier to perform daily activities without stiffness or discomfort. The medicated oil used in Kati Vasti nourishes the tissues and helps in the detoxification process by drawing out toxins and impurities from the body. Kati Vasti improves blood circulation in the lower back region, which can accelerate healing and provide relief from chronic conditions.
