Causes of Bedwetting

  • Fear or anxiety in children is a leading cause of bedwetting.

  • In some instances, excessive fluid intake before bedtime or late in the evening can contribute to bedwetting.

  • Additionally, in certain children, the nerves or nerve plexus responsible for voluntary muscle control over the urinary opening may be underdeveloped or affected by certain health conditions.


  • Home Remedies for Bedwetting

  • Add two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water and drink it with each meal.

  • Eat dry dates regularly at night along with milk.

  • Consume blackberry (jamun) seed powder with hot water.

  • Have amla with sugar candy daily.

  • Eat two walnuts (akhrot) and a few raisins (kishmish) every day.

  • Take a spoonful of honey before bed.

  • Mix mustard (sarson) powder in a cup of milk and drink it before bedtime.

  • Mix one teaspoon of amla pulp with 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper (kali mirch) powder.

  • Take one teaspoon of ground mustard in a cup of milk before bed.

  • Fry one teaspoon of coriander seeds, then mix with one teaspoon each of pomegranate flowers, sesame seeds, and babul gum. Grind into fine powder, add crystal sugar, and take one teaspoon before bed.

  • Combine 10 grams each of coriander (dhaniya) powder and sugar, and consume two to three times a day in the summertime.

  • Chew five grams of black sesame seeds before bed.

  • Soak 10 fenugreek seeds overnight and consume them in the morning.


  • Ayurvedic Treatments for Bedwetting
