Product Overview

The Stainless Steel Kati Basti Ring is a durable, reusable accessory specially designed for Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapy, used to perform Kati Basti—the local oil-retention treatment applied to the lower back and lumbar region.
Made from high-grade stainless steel (SS 304 or 316), this ring provides a leak-proof, hygienic, and long-lasting alternative to traditional flour rings.

Its circular frame forms a tight seal on the lower back, enabling the therapist to retain warm medicated oil (Taila or Ghrita) over the affected area for the prescribed duration.

Ideal for daily use in Ayurvedic clinics, Panchakarma centers, wellness spas, and physiotherapy units, it saves preparation time, improves hygiene, and enhances treatment efficiency.
