Lower back pain is a common health issue and can be caused by many factors. Ayurveda provides an effective and holistic approach to treating lower back pain - kati vasti. This lumbosacral technique helps regulate vata dosha levels through the use of applied heat, oil, and massage techniques that help restore balance, and body alignment.
Kati vasti is an effective preventive option for back pain and strengthening of the spine. This technique helps relax muscles around affected intervertebral joints, improve blood circulation in the lower back region, as well as support strength within intervertebral joint compartments. It is known to help alleviate discomforts such as lumbar spondylitis, intervertebral disc prolapses, spinal dislocations and sciatica by supporting the musculature of the affected joint and stimulating blood circulation in that area.
Procedure Method
To ensure the best possible healing experience, we begin each session by applying a herbal oil over the rogi's body to create an optimal atmosphere for therapeutic transformation. Relaxation is fundamental in this process - allowing clients to fully benefit from this technique. We then apply an herbal "dam" using dough made with black gram, which retains and concentrates the medicinal properties of our chosen oils.
To maximize their healing properties, the herbal oils are carefully heated to the ideal temperature before being applied to the target area. The heat is maintained through out the procedure. The carefully-controlled warmth enables deep absorption into skin tissues and muscles for healthy tissue nourishment and regeneration, as well as restoring flexibility in joints -reducing inflammation and providing relief from aches or pains.
Conclusion
Kati Vasti offers a holistic, natural solution for those seeking to tackle chronic lower back pain. It is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that has been used successfully to support the healing of various conditions associated with this issue. Before embarking on any course of treatment or therapy it’s important you consult your healthcare professional in order to make informed decisions about what’s best for your individual case.
