Bed wetting, medically termed Nocturnal Enuresis, is the involuntary passing of urine during sleep beyond the age at which bladder control is normally achieved — usually after 5 years of age. It is a common childhood condition, though it can occasionally persist into adolescence or adulthood.

Types of Enuresis:

• Primary enuresis: Child has never achieved consistent nighttime bladder control.
• Secondary enuresis: Occurs after a period of dryness (6 months or more).

Common causes and risk factors:

• Delayed bladder maturity or small bladder capacity
• Genetic predisposition (family history)
• Deep sleep patterns — the child doesn’t wake up when the bladder is full
• Emotional stress (new school, sibling, fear, etc.)
• Urinary tract infections or constipation
• Hormonal factors — low night-time secretion of ADH (antidiuretic hormone)
• Occasionally associated with neurological disorders

Symptoms include:

• Unconscious urination during sleep
• Usually occurs in the first few hours of the night
• Child sleeps deeply and is often hard to wake up
• May have embarrassment, guilt, or anxiety due to the condition

While many children outgrow bed wetting, persistent or distressing enuresis may require treatment.

HHomeopathy treats bed wetting by addressing both the physical and emotional factors behind it. The remedies aim to:

• Improve bladder control and strengthen urinary sphincters
• Regulate the nervous system and sleep cycle
• Address emotional causes such as fear, anxiety, or insecurity
• Promote confidence and overall wellbeing

Homoeopathic medicines are gentle, safe for children, and are selected based on modalities, sleep patterns, emotional state, and accompanying symptoms.ment / Management

Natural Homoeopathic remedies to get rid of Bed Wetting

Bed wetting in deep sleep – Sulphur

Sulphur is indicated in children who pass urine unconsciously at night in deep sleep, often near morning. The child may be lazy, untidy, and dislike bathing, and there may be a burning sensation while urinating.
👉 Best for bed wetting in deep sleepers, especially boys.

Belladonna is indicated when urination occurs soon after falling asleep, especially in nervous, excitable, or fearful children. The face may become flushed, and the child may dream of urinating.

Bed wetting from fright, grief, or emotional shock – Ignatia Amara

Ignatia suits children who start wetting the bed after emotional upset, grief, or reprimand. They are sensitive, tearful, and easily affected.
👉 Best for emotionally triggered bed wetting.

---

Bed wetting in timid, anxious, or fearful children – Pulsatilla Nigricans

Pulsatilla is indicated when the child is mild, timid, and clingy, and bed wets more during emotional upset or after crying. The urine may be scanty or variable, and the child dislikes heat or closed rooms.
👉 Useful for affectionate, sensitive children prone to bed wetting.

Bed wetting with involuntary daytime dribbling – Equisetum Hyemale

Equisetum is indicated when the child wets the bed at night and passes urine frequently during the day as well. There may be no pain, but a constant desire to urinate and incomplete emptying.

---

Bed wetting during full moon or dreams – Calcarea Carbonica

Calcarea carb suits chubby, sluggish children who sweat on the head and have a tendency to wet the bed in early part of night. They are often fearful, shy, and easily fatigued.
👉 Best for constitutional bed wetting in timid, overweight children.

Homeopathy offers a gentle, holistic, and effective treatment for bed wetting, especially in children. Remedies such as Sulphur, Causticum, Belladonna, Ignatia, Pulsatilla, and Equisetum strengthen bladder control, address emotional causes, and promote restful sleep.

Supportive measures:

• Encourage the child with patience and reassurance; avoid punishment
• Limit fluids before bedtime
• Encourage regular urination before sleep
• Address emotional stress or fear
• Maintain a consistent bedtime routine

With individualized homeopathic treatment, bed wetting episodes reduce gradually, confidence improves, and normal bladder control is restored naturally.
