A Comprehensive Study of Ayurveda, Naturopathy, and Homeopathy for Bed Wetting

 Bedwetting (enuresis), which refers to the involuntary release of urine while asleep, can occur at any age (but more frequently in younger children); this experience may have many different meanings for different individuals. The experience of bedwetting affected children's self-esteem; in fact, bedwetting can make them feel less worthy, as well as cause them to lose some of their friends because of it. Fortunately there are many safe, natural, holistic therapies available for successfully treating bedwetting through the use of traditional (Ayurvedic), alternative (Naturopathic), and complementary (Homeopathic) medicine.

 Bedwetting can be classified as either of the following:

1. Primary - when an individual has never achieved nighttime dryness; or
2. Secondary - when an individual who previously achieved nighttime dryness, but due to the development of a medical condition, a traumatic event or emotional/physical stress, has reverted to bedwetting.

Many children still experience bedwetting past their fifth birthday due to a number of reasons; these can include:

1.  A child has an immature bladder development.
2.  A child sleeps very soundly.
3.  A child does not produce sufficient amounts of an antidiuretic hormone.
4.  Psychological and/or emotional stress.
5.  Antecedent family history of bedwetting.
6.  A urinary tract infection or constipation.

Once the healthcare practitioner has established the causes of a child's bedwetting such as the following:

•  An immature child bladder
•  The child may be a very deep sleeper
• The child may not produce enough levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
• The child may be experiencing anxiety or emotional stress
• There may be a family history of bedwetting
• The child may be suffering from a urinary tract infection (UTI) or experiencing constipation

For those dealing with Bedwetting, modern medicine prescribed traditional medication and Conventional Care usually suggests Behavioural or Psychological Therapy. Trying to manage the symptoms using alternative therapies like Ayurvedic medicine which is considered Holistic Approach, believes in treating the source of the problem rather than just relieving the symptoms.

Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, Bedwetting is an Imbalance between the doshas (body types) with an emphasis on the Vata dosha which controls our Nervous System and helps with Elimination.

 The following are some key concepts in Ayurveda as they relate to Bedwetting:

1. Weak Bladder Muscle (Apana Vayu imbalance)
2. Poor Digestion (Agni imbalance)
3. Instability of the Nervous System
