And on basis of that we do decide the location of the Kati Basti in the patients. When we are doing snehana and swedana together it means- we oleate the body on one end and simultaneously sweating takes place. Therefore Kati Basti is not a one way procedure. It is a two way procedure. We nourish through medicated oils on one end. And we remove the local toxins from the muscles on other side.
