Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Kati Basti (50 min).

Yes. Kati Basti is designed to target chronic lumbar pain by delivering herbal oils directly to affected areas, reducing inflammation and spasms. Results often improve over multiple sessions; we assess your condition and recommend a personalized course for best outcomes.

Treatment frequency depends on severity and chronicity. Many clients notice improvement after 3–5 sessions, while chronic conditions may require 6–10 sessions and periodic maintenance. Your therapist will create a plan based on assessment and progress.

Side effects are usually mild and temporary: slight warmth, oil residue, or brief soreness as tissues release tension. Allergic reactions are rare; we perform consultations and patch checks to minimize risk and adjust oils if needed.

Wear comfortable clothing and avoid heavy meals or alcohol beforehand. Bring any medical history or medications list. Arrive slightly early for consultation so the therapist can tailor oil selection and ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you.

A full 50-minute session includes consultation, preparation, oil warming and retention on the lower back, gentle massage to aid absorption, and a short rest period. You’ll leave feeling relaxed with immediate reduction in stiffness and tension.

Pregnancy requires caution. Kati Basti is generally avoided in the first trimester and administered only with physician approval later. Postpartum treatment is commonly safe and beneficial. Always consult both your obstetrician and our therapist before booking.
