What Is Kativasthi Treatment? How Does It Help with Lower Back Pain and Muscle Stiffness?

Question

I’ve been struggling with lower back pain and muscle stiffness, and I’m curious about how Kativasthi treatment works. From what I understand, Kativasthi involves the application of medicated oil on the lower back inside a dough ring, which is said to provide pain relief and muscle relaxation. I’m particularly interested in how this treatment can help with chronic back pain, sciatica, and stiffness in the spine.

I’m curious whether Kativasthi is effective for long-term pain relief, or if it provides only temporary relief for lower back issues.

If anyone has tried Kativasthi treatment, please share your experience. Did it help with reducing pain, improving flexibility, or relieving muscle stiffness? How many sessions did you need, and did the effects last long-term?

Kativasthi is a highly effective Ayurvedic therapy for chronic lower back pain, sciatica, and spinal stiffness. This treatment involves retaining warm medicated oil within a dough ring placed over the affected area, allowing deep penetration of the oil into muscles, nerves, and joints. The warmth and herbal properties help improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and nourish the tissues, providing relief from stiffness and pain. While Kativasthi offers significant immediate relief, long-term benefits depend on the severity of the condition and lifestyle adjustments. A series of 7 to 14 sessions, combined with internal medicines, yoga, and dietary modifications, can enhance its effectiveness and support lasting spinal health.
