Kativasthi Treatments
Kativasthi is a procedure in which comfortably hot medicated oil is kept over the lumbosacral area or any adjacent part for a certain time with the help of a cap-like hollow structure. The patient is given abhyanga all over the body and then Sweda – medicated steam on the low back and legs. The oil is heated up to warmness over the water bath and poured slowly maintaining the uniform temperature throughout the process by replacing warm oil. After the prescribed time, oil is removed and the area is wiped off followed by cleaning with lukewarm water. The patient is advised to take a rest. A normal diet is suggested. Keeping the medicated oil for a specific time on the affected area nourishes the nerves, muscles, and joints in the particular region. The heat of the oil also gives passive fomentation. This is best for lower back pain and IVDP(disc bulging/prolapse).It gives relief from symptoms.
