Clinical Overview

What is Kati Basti?

Kati Basti is a specialized spinal therapy where a dough dam made of black gram flour is constructed over the lower back, and warm medicated oil is pooled inside.

Why is Kati Basti Recommended?

Lumbar spondylosis, herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic lower back strain occur due to drying up of intervertebral fluids and Vata aggravation.
