The syrup includes extracts from plants like cinnamon, ginger, and aloe vera. A cross-sectional study involving nursing students assessed the impact of a structured teaching program on PCOS knowledge. The review highlights the potential benefits of combining conventional and traditional therapies, such as Ayurvedic treatments, to manage PCOS effectively.
