Procedure for Kati Basti Treatment
At TarunVeda, we follow a structured Ayurvedic process to ensure safe and effective treatment:
Pre-Treatment Preparation
The therapy begins with a gentle oil massage (Abhyanga) on the body, especially focusing on the lower back area, to prepare the muscles and joints for the treatment.
Kati Basti Application
A dough ring is placed around the lumbar region to form a reservoir. Warm, medicated oil is then poured into this ring and retained for 20-30 minutes. The oil is replenished continuously to maintain its therapeutic warmth, ensuring deep absorption and healing.
Post-Kati Basti Treatment Care
After removing the oil, the lower back is massaged again with medicated oils for deep nourishment. If needed, TarunVeda professionals provide a personalized recovery plan, including dietary adjustments and lifestyle recommendations for long-term relief.
