How effective is Kati Basti treatment for lower back pain relief? - #13625
I’ve been suffering from chronic lower back pain for the past few years, and nothing seems to give me long-term relief. The pain gets worse when I sit for long hours or do any physical activity. I’ve tried physiotherapy and painkillers, but they only help temporarily. Recently, I came across Kati Basti treatment, an Ayurvedic therapy that involves pouring warm medicated oil over the lower back. I read that Kati Basti treatment is specifically used for Vata-related issues like sciatica, lower back stiffness, and disc problems. The warm oil is supposed to penetrate deep into the tissues and provide pain relief by reducing inflammation and nourishing the joints. Has anyone here tried Kati Basti treatment? How many sessions are needed to see results? Does it only provide temporary relief, or does it actually heal back pain over time? Also, are there any side effects of Kati Basti treatment? I read that some people feel discomfort after the therapy. Do I need to follow any dietary or lifestyle changes to get the best results? Would love to hear from people who have tried Kati Basti for back pain and whether it helped them recover!
