/Back pain has become one of the most common health problems today due to long sitting hours, improper posture, stress, heavy physical work, disc problems, and lifestyle disorders. Pain in the lower back can affect daily activities, sleep, walking, bending, and overall quality of life.
What is Kati Vasti?
Kati Vasti is a specialized Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapy in which warm medicated oil is retained over the lower back area using a herbal dough ring. The warm oil penetrates deeply into muscles, joints, nerves, and spinal tissues, helping to reduce stiffness, inflammation, and pain.
The therapy is usually combined with:
* Abhyangam (medicated oil massage)
* Ela Kizhi / Podi Kizhi
* Steam therapy
* Ayurvedic internal medicines for better and long-lasting results.
