Service Description

What is Kati Chikitsa / Kati Basti? The treatment involves building a raised ring of dough (often made from chickpea flour) directly on the skin over the affected area, usually the lower back. Inside this ring, warm, herbal-infused oil is poured and left for a certain period of time. Once the oil cools, it is replaced with fresh, warm oil – the process takes about 30–45 minutes, depending on the needs. Kati Chikitsa, also known as Kati Basti, is an Ayurvedic treatment that specifically targets the back area – especially the lumbar spine (kati means “waist” or “loin”). It is a therapeutic oil treatment that aims to relieve pain, tension and stiffness in the lower back, as well as strengthen the spine and nervous system.
