Kativasthi is an Ayurvedic therapy specifically designed for treating lower back pain and disorders of the spine. It involves retaining warm medicated oil on the lower back to provide localized relief. This treatment is especially effective for conditions involving pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the lumbar region.

​

Benefits:

• Relieves Lower Back Pain: Kativasthi helps alleviate chronic and acute lower back pain, particularly for those with sciatica, herniated discs, and degenerative spine conditions.

• Reduces Stiffness and Spasms: The warmth of the oil reduces muscle spasms, stiffness, and inflammation in the lumbar region.

• Improves Blood Circulation: The warmth and medicinal properties of the oil stimulate blood flow to the affected area, promoting faster healing and tissue repair.

• Balances Vata Dosha: Kativasthi is especially beneficial for Vata-related disorders, as it provides warmth and lubrication, countering dryness and rigidity associated with Vata imbalance.

• Strengthens the Back Muscles: Over time, Kativasthi can help strengthen muscles in the lower back, improving stability and reducing the risk of recurring injuries.
