Spinal Basti

Spinal or kati basti is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment designed to nourish a compromised part of the spine back to health. It has wonderful results with conditions of disc degeneration and narrowing of the spinal column.

The treatment consists of localized massage, herbal poultices, steam application, and warm herbal oil baths, within a small dam made of dough, on top of the compromised part of the spine.

It detoxifies the tissues, nourishes them so that spongyness and flexibility return, and increases circulation in the area.

The same treatment works wonders for compromised knee joints from arthritic conditions.

The treatment needs to be administered in series. Usually seven in a row, but it can be more or less.

Coming in for one treatment offers some relief and will give a sense of its healing potential.

Discounts are offered for series of treatments.
