Localized Oil-Retention Therapies in Indore

In Kati Basti, a dough ring is placed on the lower back and filled with warm medicated oil, which is held in place and kept warm for a set time. The sustained warmth and oil soak into the area to relax muscles, ease stiffness and calm the aggravated Vata behind low-back pain.

At this clinic Kati Basti is not a stand-alone spa sitting. It is used inside the sciatica / lumbar / cervical protocol family: some cases 3–4 sittings, some a 7-day course, some a 14-day course, alongside Snehan–Swedan, Agnikarma, Viddha Karma and Tikta Ksheer Matra Basti. Dedicated page: Kati Basti.

Janu Basti applies the same principle to the knee: a dough well around the joint holds warm medicated oil against it, letting the warmth and medicine work into the painful, stiff area. It is a comforting, external way to ease knee pain without anything invasive.

Here Janu Basti sits inside the knee protocol — Janu Basti, Snehan–Swedan, Agnikarma, Viddha Karma and Tikta Ksheer Matra Basti; leech in some cases. Courses are often around 20 days, still severity-dependent. Dedicated page: Janu Basti.

Greeva Basti holds warm medicated oil over the back of the neck within a dough ring, bringing sustained warmth to tight, painful neck muscles and the cervical spine. It is a mainstay for the desk-and-screen neck problems so many people carry.

Cervical spondylosis here uses the same protocol family as sciatica: Greeva Basti instead of, or together with, Kati Basti, plus Snehan–Swedan, Agnikarma, Viddha Karma and Tikta Ksheer Matra Basti. Sittings: 3–4, 7-day or 14-day course by severity. Dedicated page: Greeva Basti.

Spinal Basti (sometimes called Prishta Basti) extends the same warm-oil pool along the length of the spine rather than a single joint, soothing the whole back. It is used where the problem runs beyond one spot — long-standing back stiffness, or spinal conditions needing broader support.

It is commonly used alongside Kati Basti for back pain and sciatica, and as supportive care in spinal conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis. Commonly used for: back pain, sciatica and spinal stiffness.

Hridaya Basti holds warm medicated oil over the chest, in the region of the heart, within the usual dough ring. Classically it is a soothing, supportive therapy used for stress, chest heaviness and general wellness of the area — a calming treatment rather than a treatment for heart disease.

It is offered here as supportive, restorative care and is always framed that way: anyone with a cardiac condition should remain under their doctor's care, and Hridaya Basti runs alongside that, never in place of it. Whether it suits you is decided by the physician at consultation.
