In present era, women have made inroads in all the functioning of society yet there are some issues which challenges the “women health”. No regularity of menses, skin conditions, overweight, infertility, hormonal imbalance is the commonest reproductive health issues that women of reproductive age are facing now. The very first disease causing condition which leads to such issues is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. In beginning PCOS was only concerned with infertility but at present it also seen that it is associated with endocrine as well as metabolic abnormalities with increased risk of type 2 DM, chronic heart conditions, increased lipid levels, HTN, raised insulin levels. Hence it becomes very, important to evaluate such condition along with infertility and other related health issues. The panchakarma therapies mentioned in Ayurveda gives us a crystal-clear way to medical condition of PCOD. Here panchakrama therapy works by improving structural potency of the reproductive organs along with equilibrium in endocrine and metabolic function of the body. Basti chikitasa is one of the most effective panchakrma therapies in PCOD. In basti chikitasa medicine is used or given in the form of kwatha/ decoction and Sneha/medicated oil or ghee through anus.
