Kati vasti is a magical therapy procedure for back pain treatment in Kerala. It is an Ayurvedic therapy with excellent results on low back aches in a short period. The word Kati means low back, and vasti means to hold or to retain. You may now wonder how holding medicated Oil can cure this chronic issue.

First a dam is built up, using a herbal dough over the affected area. Warm medicated oil is poured into this area and then left to rest there and it works magic by relieving pain and swelling in the affected area.

Holding medicated Oil in the lumbosacral region causes vasodilation and neuronal stimulation. An increase in blood flow results in the removal of toxins and increases oxygen and nutrient circulation. Increased blood circulation will reduce peripheral inflammation, resulting in faster healing.

It is indicated in diseases of the lower back region such as Lumbar Spondylosis, Sciatica, Low back pain, Intervertebral Disc Prolapse, Chronic and Acute back pain, Lumbar Spondylitis, and Osteoporosis. etc.
