What Does Kati Vasti Therapy Look Like? Are There Any Kati Vasti Images for Reference?

Question

I have been suffering from chronic lower back pain for a while, and I recently heard about Kati Vasti therapy as an Ayurvedic treatment for spinal issues. From what I understand, it involves placing a ring made of dough around the lower back and filling it with warm medicated oil to relieve pain and stiffness. However, I want to get a better idea of what the procedure actually looks like before trying it.

Are there any Kati Vasti images available that show how the therapy is done? I want to know exactly how the oil is applied, how long it stays on the back, and whether this treatment is suitable for conditions like herniated discs and sciatica. Also, how many sessions are required for noticeable improvement?

If anyone has undergone Kati Vasti therapy, I would love to hear about your experience. How effective was it for back pain, and did you feel relief immediately or after multiple sessions? Also, does it need to be done by a professional, or can it be done at home with guidance?
