Product Description

  • Kati refers to the lower back, while Vasti or Basti signifies retention.
  • A dough tank is created and affixed to the lower back, allowing warm oil to be retained for a designated period.
  • As the oil begins to cool, it is replaced with fresh warm oil.
  • The selection of oils is tailored according to individual body types and health conditions.
  • Variants of Vasti include Greeva Vasti, which targets the neck and lower cervical spine, and Uro Vasti, which focuses on the chest and sternum (chest bone).

Kati Vasti is specifically beneficial in:

  • Lower back pain caused by pinched nerves in the back and compression of the sciatic nerve root
  • Halts the degeneration process and rejuvenates the tissues affected by degenerative changes, such as those seen in degenerative discs
  • Alleviates pressure on compressed nerve roots, thereby reducing pain
  • Assists in minimizing friction and compression among muscles, ligaments, and tendons in relation to nearby bony structures, leading to relief from pain, spasms, and stiffness
  • Promotes overall spinal health by addressing the underlying issues associated with nerve compression

    • To fully benefit from your Kativasti therapy (Retaining Oil over the Lower back), adhere to the following aftercare guidelines:

  • Refrain from taking a body or head shower immediately: It is advisable to wait a minimum of 45 minutes (equivalent to 1 muhurtham – the duration required for the oil to absorb through the skin layers) before washing your hair, as this facilitates the absorption and nourishment of the oils
  • Safeguard Your Scalp: If you plan to go outside shortly after your massage, it is prudent to wear a hat or scarf to shield your scalp from environmental factors
  • Maintain Hydration: Consuming an adequate amount of water aids your body in eliminating toxins and enhances overall health
  • Pay Attention to Your Body: Should you feel any discomfort or experience unusual sensations, it is important to seek advice from your therapist or healthcare professional
  • It is advised not to consume a full meal at least one hour prior to therapy sessions
  • Please wear comfortable, casual clothing that you do not mind getting stained with oil, as some treatments may leave traces of oil in body creases
  • Disposable garments will be supplied for your convenience
  • Dress in extremely casual attire that you do not mind getting stained with oil
  • Expect some oil residue to remain in the creases of your body following the treatments, as most therapies utilize oil in different quantities
  • Disposable clothing will be available if necessary for the treatment
