Abstract

There are restricted movements in Katigraha mainly occurring at L4 – L5 Lumbar vertebra. Restricted movements along with pain are a common complaint of Katigraha patient attending in OPD. It is mainly due to improper postural habits, unhealthy dietary patterns and improper daily routine. It is neither a serious disorder nor a life threatening one but at the same time can be crippling by grossly disturbing the individual’s day-to-day lifestyle. In matra basti, medicated oil is inserted to the rectum (Pakwashaya) from anus with the help of rubber catheter (Enema pot). A total of 30 patients were selected complaining of pain, stiffness, restricted movements in the lumbar region. Matra basti with Swadamshtradi taila in dose of 60 ml for 7 days were given to the selected patients.
