How Bedwetting occurs: Concept and Method behind Bedwetting and Enuresis treatment with the SleepDoc. A sleep analysis of approximately 500 bedwetters led to the discovery of an amazing phenomenon: the act of enuresis in some cases occurs for a "reason"- to maintain or to switch sleep stages when the natural "switches" are broken or not developed. |

In children with bedwetting, the switch from one stage to another is delayed, especially during the first half of the night. That is why sleep in these children appears too deep. Sleeping too deeply or too long in certain positions can trigger problems such as bedwetting, sleepwalking, positional sleep apneas etc. Later in life, when the normal “switches” are developed, in many children enuresis spontaneously disappears. However, about 3-5 percent still wet until adolescence or even adulthood, which causes tremendous personal and family distress. Medication treatment for bedwetting is expensive and not very successful, because it aims to suppress the act of enuresis but not to treat its cause. |
Bedwetting alarms or enuresis alarms are just alarms. They wake you and your child up after the bedwetting has begun. Based on many years of clinical experience and sleep research, a group of leading US sleep scientists, pediatricians and engineers has developed SleepDoc, a unique high tech computerized device, that is activated by the body signals BEFORE the act of enuresis and, WITHOUT AWAKENING, gently induces positional and sleep stages shifts, thus preventing bedwetting. The SleepDoc is a simple yet effective way to train your child not to wet the bed. Small and unobtrusive, the SleepDoc detects wearer’s position on the bed and uses gentle vibrations to make the user subconsciously shift positions (as they naturally would) so that they do not wet the bed.

Homeopathic Remedies for Enuresis Alexander Golbin MD. This article is for parents of children with bedwetting (enuresis) and for those who are interested in alternative medicine for children and adolescents. Bedwetting (enuresis) is a potentially serious medical and psychological problem affecting about two million children ages 6 and up to adulthood. Many parents and patients who did not get help from a so called traditional medicine have turned their hope to an alternative medicine. In this article we will look into remedies that homeopathic medicine offers to help those afflicted with bedwetting. There are about 134 homeopathic remedies listed in credible homeopathic reference books for incontinence of urine at night (1). Unfortunately, these reference books often did not differentiate those with organic disorders of the bladder, kidneys and other parts of the urinary system from urine incontinence due to sleep - related dysfunctions. A list of recommendations is available from the National Center of Homeopathy (2). A few examples of the “names “ of the recommended homeopathic remedies are:
It is important to note that homeopathic medicines are FDA inspected and approved. Their content and preparation can be found in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (4). These medications are credible, but, as with all medications, they should be given in a complex with other medications and means by professionals to avoid side effects. We will review other current traditional, alternative and new treatments of bedwetting in the following articles. References: About the author:
