Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 My son was a bedwetter. So was my husband and as a child he went throw hell to find out why. My son was on prescribed medicine for his- before I was into herbs.( also I think cause I was a nurse) I have a three year old right now who isn't completely potty trained - My husband is concerned she will wet to bed to- So I have researched the herbs that will help- I have not used them. I would suggest you also check into them further. This is to help tone the bladder which in turn could help him have more night time control. First limit liquid intake after super- have him go before he goes to bed.I am sure you already do these things. The herbs that I found that would be helpful are the following. Horsetail Agrimony Sweet Sumach I am not sure if they are combined or not- They probably can.This could be tincture or drank as a tea- Don't know how it would taste- as I said I have not used it yet. As a side note- I wet to bed until I was ten- mine wasn't a medical problem- I was horribly afraid of the dark- when I wanted someone to stay the night is when I quit. My heart goes out to your son as I know how it can make you feel- I wish you luck!!! JuneGet more from the Web.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 You're absolutely right Liz. There's always a "stress or mental" factor connected with any debility. Guilt, fears, and other mental trauma can be major factors in this and when addressed can remedy the situation by itself or can make an herbal preparation now work which wasn't working before.

In my case I would say stress was a major factor. As soon as I left home Inever ever wet the bed again. LizFederal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1.
