Kati Vasti
Kati Vasti is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment for the lower back. 'Kati' refers to the lower back, while 'Vasti' means holding or keeping, so this treatment focuses on keeping warm herbal oil on the lower back. It is particularly suitable for relieving a variety of lower back problems including chronic pain, stiffness, muscle spasms and sciatica.
