Katibasti Therapy

How it’s done :-

1. Preparation: A patient lies face down. A ring-like structure made of black gram dough is formed around the lower back area. The size and shape of the ring are determined by the affected area.

2. Filling with oil: Warm medicated oil is poured into the dough ring, filling the reservoir it creates on the lower back.

3. Oil retention: The oil is retained for a specific duration, typically 30-45 minutes, allowing its therapeutic properties to penetrate the tissues. The warmth of the oil is maintained by replacing it with warm oil as needed.

4. Post-treatment: After the oil is removed, a gentle massage and steam therapy may be performed
