Kati Vasti Therapy

(Lower back therapy)

Kati Vasti is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment primarily aimed at relieving lower back pain and strengthening the spine. Like Greeva Vasti, Kati Vasti is localized treatment but focuses on the lower back, providing relief from chronic lower back pain, sciatica, and lumbar disorders. It is a specialized treatment for lower back pain where warm herbal oil is pooled over the lumbar region.   

How Kati Vasti works - Shree Ayurvedic Multispecialty Hospital, Chennai

How Kati Vasti Therapy Works?

The therapy involves the application of warm, medicated oil that is retained in a dough ring placed around the lower back area. The warm oil penetrates deep into the muscles and tissues of the lower back, helping to relax tight muscles, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote healing. It is particularly effective for conditions like lumbar spondylosis, sciatica, and muscle strains in the lower back. 

Kati Vasti Therapy Procedure

Preparation: The patient is made to lie down in a comfortable position, typically on their stomach, with the lower back exposed. A dough ring is made using a special Ayurvedic paste and placed on the lower back to create a boundary for the oil. 

Oil Application: The practitioner pours warm, medicated oil into the dough ring, ensuring it is applied generously to the lower back area. The oil is carefully massaged into the skin and left to soak in, with the warmth allowing the oil to penetrate deeply into the tissues. 

Oil Retention: The oil remains on the lower back for about 20 to 30 minutes. During this time, the patient relaxes while the therapeutic properties of the oil work to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness. 

Post-treatment Care: After the oil is removed, the area is gently massaged again, and the patient may rest to allow the body to absorb the benefits of the therapy.

Real stories of rejuvenation, wellness and lasting health through ayurveda

Ram prasath
I’ve been seeing doctors for the past 10 years, dealing with everything from a simple cold to more serious stuff like shoulder tendonitis, which required an injection. Wanting to avoid ongoing treatments, I turned to Ayurveda. Since then, my shoulders are back to feeling as good as new. Later on, I also got treated for ulcerative colitis and it’s all gone now. It’s amazing—every issue I’ve had has been fixed without any long-term problems.

I took treatment in this Hospital for knee pain and blood circulation in left foot from 5th Sept to 16th Sept 2024. I took a consultation with Dr. Sri Krishna, a Competent, Calm, and Cool person. Above all 6th Generation doctor of this ancient hospital! There is a say that, when you meet your doctor, half of your ailments will disappear, actually it happened with me! He advised me to take 10 days of external treatment like Abhyanga, Janu Basti.. along with oral medicines...

When it comes to ayurveda in Chennai, Shree Ayurvedic hospital has all ayurvedic facilities under one roof. Good response and care from hospital staffs. I consulted Dr. Uday Kiran in this hospital for urological issues. He is a humble person, with experience in ayurvedic surgeries. He is one of the very few Ayurvedic surgeons in Chennai treating ano-rectal and Urological issues. He listens patiently and is ready to answer all our questions. Even if we ask any questions over phone Or whatsApp, he will answer. Many thanks to him.
