Kati means the Lower back, and Basti meaning an artificial pool which can contain oil for as much time as required. It is a treatment where the pool of oil is made on the back, especially at the lower end of your vertebrae, in which specially medicated warm oil is pooled and its warm temperature maintained for 20 – 30 minutes.
