June 2026 in “International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology” This case report examines the effects of palash basti, an Ayurvedic treatment, on a 26-year-old woman with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS). Over a 3-month period, the treatment led to significant improvements, including regularization of her menstrual cycle to 28-32 days, increased menstrual flow, reduced acne and hirsutism, weight loss from 72 kg to 68 kg, and improved hormonal parameters such as the LH/FSH ratio.
