How Effective Is Katibasti in Ayurveda for Lower Back Pain and Spinal Health? - #14296
I have been experiencing chronic lower back pain and stiffness, and I recently came across Katibasti, an Ayurvedic therapy that involves holding warm herbal oil on the lower back to relieve pain, inflammation, and nerve compression. However, I want to understand how effective this therapy is for long-term spinal health and whether it helps with conditions like sciatica or disc problems. Katibasti is said to be one of the most effective Ayurvedic treatments for lumbar pain as it provides deep nourishment to the muscles, improves circulation, and helps in balancing Vata dosha, which is responsible for joint and nerve health. Many people recommend using Mahanarayan Oil or Bala Thailam for maximum pain relief and flexibility. However, I am unsure how many sessions are needed for permanent results and whether this therapy is suitable for all age groups. For those who have undergone Katibasti treatment, what results did you experience? Did it help with long-term back pain relief, improved posture, and reduced stiffness? Would love insights into the best Ayurvedic oils and techniques for Katibasti therapy and whether it provided lasting spinal health benefits.
