Service Description

Kati Basti is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy designed to nourish and support the lower back and surrounding areas. The word “Kati” refers to the lower back, while “Basti” means a container or reservoir — reflecting the unique method used in this treatment. A dedicated 45-minute Kati Basti ritual, allowing the soothing warmth and therapeutic qualities of the oil to deeply penetrate the tissues. In this therapy, a ring made from natural dough is gently placed on the body, creating a reservoir where warm herbal oil is continuously held and renewed. The sustained warmth allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the muscles and tissues, helping to release chronic tension, ease stiffness, and calm the nervous system. This treatment is especially beneficial for those experiencing lower back discomfort, fatigue, or stress. It is particularly recommended for those with a Vata imbalance, helping to ground the body and restore a sense of stability and calm. At Nadi Healing Cairns, each Kati Basti session is performed with mindful care, inviting you into a quiet space of warmth, stillness, and profound relaxation.
