What is Kati Basti?

Kati Basti Ayurvedic Back Treatment at Herbal Hills Center Mumbai

Ayurvedic Hot Oil Therapy for Lower Back Pain

Kati Basti is a classical Ayurvedic treatment for the lower back. A dough ring is placed over the lumbar region, filled with warm medicated oil, and retained to let herbal properties penetrate deep into spinal muscles, discs, and tissues.

The warm oil improves circulation, lubricates vertebral joints, reduces inflammation, and restores natural spinal movement — addressing the root Ayurvedic cause of back pain: aggravated Vata dosha.

The Kati Basti Procedure

1
Ayurvedic Consultation

Our Ayurvedic doctor assesses your back condition, pain severity, spinal history, and dosha balance to select the right medicated oil and customise the duration of the therapy.

2
Lower Back Oil Massage

The lumbar region is gently massaged with warm medicated oil to prepare the spinal tissues, improve local circulation, and enhance absorption for the main procedure.

3
Dough Ring Placement

A ring made of black gram dough is shaped and positioned over the lower back to form a leak-proof well. The ring is checked for proper fit and seal before oil is poured.

4
Warm Oil Retention

Duration: 45 minutes per session

Method: Warm medicated oil poured and retained in the dough well over the lumbar region

Sensation: Deep, soothing warmth — deeply relaxing for the lower back

Warm medicated oil is poured into the dough well over the lower back. As the oil cools, it is replaced using cotton gauze and fresh warm oil — maintaining a steady therapeutic temperature throughout the session.

5
Removal & Post-Care

The dough ring is removed at the end of the procedure and the lower back is lightly massaged to enhance absorption. The doctor advises on aftercare, follow-up sessions, and any complementary therapies recommended.
