Kadeevasthi Treatment center in Trivandrum

What is Kadeevasthi?

Kadeevasthi is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy where warm medicated oil is retained on the lower back (lumbar region) within a sealed boundary made from black gram dough. The term is derived from “Kadee” (lower back) and “Vasthi” (retention). This localized treatment is highly effective for back pain, spinal stiffness, and musculoskeletal disorders. The warmth and medicinal properties of the oil penetrate deep into the tissues, providing relief from inflammation, nourishing the spinal nerves, and restoring mobility.

What are the indications?

Kadeevasthi is recommended for:

Lower back pain and stiffness
Lumbar spondylosis and disc degeneration
Sciatica and radiating leg pain
Muscle spasms and postural strain
Degenerative spinal disorders
Slipped disc (as supportive therapy)
Osteoarthritis of the spine
Sedentary lifestyle-related back discomfort
Pain due to long-standing fatigue or stress

What is the Treatment Procedure?

A boundary is created on the lower back using a ring made of black gram dough.
Warm, medicated herbal oil is gently poured into this area and retained for 30–45 minutes.
The oil is kept at a therapeutic temperature throughout the session.
After the oil is removed, a gentle massage is done followed by hot water fomentation.
The duration of the treatment course can range from 5 to 14 days based on the severity of the condition.
The therapy is often part of an integrated treatment plan involving internal medicines and supportive therapies.
