KATI BASTI FOR SLIP DISC

                                             KATI BASTI FOR SLIP DISC

When it is a problem with lower back and there is a slip disc. Kati bast for slip disc is a first choice of every physician of Ayurveda.

We at Lanjewar's Total Health - Ayurveda & Panchakarma Centre worked on the different modalities of this Panchakarma procedure. And lastly we have streamlined the concept as well as standardization of this Panchakarma procedure.

Concept behind Kati basti

This is a procedure where we do snehana and swedana of the affected part all together. The sore muscles are located according to MRI / X RAY / CT SCAN. And on basis of that we do decide the location of the Kati Basti in the patients.

When we are doing snehana and swedana together it means- we oleate the body on one end and simultaneously sweating takes place. Therefore Kati Basti is not a one way procedure. It is a two way procedure. We nourish through medicated oils on one end. And we remove the local toxins from the muscles on other side.

The basic idea of the Kati Basti comes from – Dalhana. He has given a perfect idea about these external bastis.

STANDARDIZATION OF KATI BASTI:

At most of the times patient remarks- “I had undergone Kati Basti but didn’t get any relief?” What new you guys do at Lanjewar's Total Health - Ayurveda & Panchakarma Centre ?

Not only Basti but also all the procedures are done according to standard policies about the procedures. The main three things in Kati Basti at Lanjewar's Total Health - Ayurveda & Panchakarma Centre are-

SELECTION OF OILS:

Oils we use in Kati basti for slip disc are decided according to the problem of the patient and nature of the patient- Prakruti as well as Vikruti- in Ayurvedic language. Pulse diagnosis helps a lot in this condition. We use a very large range of the medicated oils. Amazingly few drops a specific oil can change the whole results of the treatment,

TEMPERATURE OF OIL:

Kati basti for slip disc in Kapha people needs more temperature (even though they cannot endure it in some cases), Pitta people need just lukewarm oils. Contrary to these Vata people need just oil. This kind of evaluation and selection of the oils if done properly than only Kati basti works. Otherwise it is just a waste of time and money.

THE HEIGHT OF DOUGH:

The height of dough in the Kati Basti apparatus means a lot. People do it with dough or ring (plastic / metallic) , the height of dough is of few millimetres but we do it in inches. This kind of standardisation is important and it varies from patient to patient.

DURATION:

We do Kati Basti for 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes…. in three patterns. According to the affected Dhatu in pathological process.

These are the basic reasons we have results in spinal disc problems.

How Lanjewar's Total Health - Ayurveda & Panchakarma Centre Gives best results?

Not at all. If you are going for Kati basti alone, it is not beneficial at all. The main planning of treatment is wider in Ayurveda than it looks from outside. Alone kati basti for slip disc is not enough. We adjoin many other procedures like Pottali, Lepa, Basti and Virechana along with Kati basti. We don’t promote the concept of doing Kati basti at home. Because it can be fatal to play with warm oils. A bit of irregularity with temperature of the oil can cause burns in your skin. This is important to do under supervision of experts. Lanjewar's Total Health - Ayurveda & Panchakarma Centre is an institution where we have completely educated and trained Ayurveda Therapist (both male and female) to do the procedures.
