Katibasti is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy often provided at wellness centers like Soukhyam Ayurveda Centre. This treatment focuses on alleviating lower back pain and related issues through a medicated oil application technique.

How Katibasti Works:

1. Preparation of the Dough Ring: A ring is made using black gram dough and placed over the lower back area.

 

2. Warm Medicated Oil: Warm herbal oil is poured inside the dough ring and maintained at a consistent temperature.

 

3. Therapeutic Effect: The heat and medicinal properties of the oil penetrate the tissues, alleviating stiffness, pain, and inflammation.

 

4. Duration: The therapy typically lasts for 30–45 minutes, depending on the individual's condition.

 

5. Post-Therapy Massage: Often followed by a light massage or fomentation to enhance relaxation.
