Kativasti is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy focused on the lumbar region of the spine. The word “Kati” refers to the lower back, and “Vasti” means retaining or holding. In this treatment, warm medicated oil or herbal decoction is retained over the lower back using a circular dam made of dough.

The gentle warmth of the oil penetrates deep into tissues, relieving stiffness, nourishing the muscles, and easing chronic pain. Kativasti is especially beneficial for conditions like sciatica, lumbar spondylosis, slipped disc, and general backache caused by long hours of sitting or physical strain.

This rejuvenation therapy not only relieves pain but also strengthens spinal health and restores flexibility, offering holistic relief.
