        abstract = {Background: Artavakshaya, as described in Ayurvedic classics, refers to reduced quantity, delayed onset, or shortened duration of menstrual bleeding. It is a growing concern among reproductive-age women due to lifestyle disturbances, stress, nutritional imbalances, and hormonal disorders such as polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD). In modern terms, it aligns closely with oligomenorrhea—a condition characterized by infrequent menstrual cycles with intervals exceeding 35 days. Aim: To assess the therapeutic effect of Phalatrikadi Kvatha, a classical polyherbal formulation, in normalizing the menstrual cycle and improving flow in a patient diagnosed with Artavakshaya. Methodology: A single case of a 23-year-old female presenting with irregular and scanty menstruation for one year was studied. Phalatrikadi Kvatha was administered at a dose of 40 ml twice daily for 45 days. The patient was monitored for changes in menstrual interval, flow duration, quantity of bleeding, and associated symptoms like weakness and hair fall. Results: Post-treatment, the menstrual interval improved from 42 to 32 days, the duration of bleeding increased from 1 to 3 days, and associated symptoms were significantly reduced. No side effects were observed during the intervention. Conclusion: Phalatrikadi Kvatha exhibited promising efficacy in regulating the menstrual cycle and enhancing blood flow in Artavakshaya, likely due to its Rasayana, Agnivardhaka, and Tridoshahara properties. This case supports its potential as a safe, non-hormonal option in managing functional menstrual irregularities.},
