What Is Kativasthi Treatment in Ayurveda? How Does It Help with Back Pain and Muscle Stiffness? - #13463

Anonymously

I’ve been dealing with chronic lower back pain, and I’ve read that Kativasthi is an Ayurvedic treatment that can help. From what I understand, Kativasthi involves warm medicated oil being held over the lower back using a special dough ring, which is said to reduce pain, increase blood circulation, and relax the muscles. I’m curious to know how effective Kativasthi is in treating lower back pain, sciatica, and muscle stiffness. I also want to understand whether this therapy offers long-term benefits or if it only provides temporary relief. If anyone has undergone Kativasthi treatment, please share your experience. Did it help with reducing pain, improving flexibility, or promoting muscle relaxation? How many sessions were required to notice improvement, and were there any side effects?
