What Is the Cost of Kati Basti Treatment? How Effective Is It for Lower Back Pain?

Question

I’ve been experiencing chronic lower back pain and am considering Kati Basti treatment to help with the pain. I understand that Kati Basti involves the application of medicated oil to the lower back inside a dough ring, and it’s believed to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility. I’m curious to know about the cost of Kati Basti treatment and how it compares to other Ayurvedic therapies for back pain.

I’d also like to know if Kati Basti is effective for long-term relief or if it mainly provides temporary improvement. What factors influence the cost, such as location or the type of clinic?

If anyone has undergone Kati Basti treatment, please share your experience. Was it effective in reducing pain, improving flexibility, or enhancing mobility in the lower back? How long did it take to see results, and what was the treatment cost for you?

Kati Basti is a highly effective Ayurvedic treatment for chronic lower back pain, offering relief by reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and promoting muscle relaxation. It is especially useful for conditions like sciatica and muscle stiffness. The cost of Kati Basti can vary depending on the location and type of clinic, with factors like the clinic’s reputation, the expertise of the practitioner, and the quality of the medicated oils used influencing the price. On average, the cost can range from INR 1,500 to INR 5,000 per session, though some wellness centers may offer packages for multiple sessions at a discounted rate. Kati Basti can provide both temporary and long-term relief, but consistent treatments over a period of weeks or months are often needed for lasting results. Most patients begin to feel improvement after a few sessions, with flexibility and pain reduction becoming noticeable after 3-5 treatments. The therapy is best combined with other Ayurvedic treatments, such as herbal medicines, to enhance its effects. Regular follow-up care and lifestyle changes may further improve outcomes.
