Kativasthi (Lower Back Therapy)

Kativasthi is an Ayurvedic treatment designed to relieve pain, stiffness, and discomfort in the lower back region. This therapy involves placing a warm, medicated herbal oil in a reservoir made of dough, positioned over the lower back (kati). The therapeutic warmth and medicinal properties of the oil penetrate deep into the muscles and tissues, easing tension, reducing inflammation, and enhancing flexibility. Kativasthi is especially beneficial for individuals suffering from chronic back pain, sciatica, and other lumbar issues.
