Description:

Enuresis is characterized in Western medical terms as involuntary bedwetting in a child over 5 years of age. The most common type is so-called primary nocturnal enuresis, which persists from birth, i.e. without a prolonged dry pause, and is not accompanied by other urological, neurological, psychiatric or endocrinological diseases. Next to allergies and atopy, it is the second most common chronic indisposition in childhood. On average, 10% of children between 6 and 7 years of age suffer from bedwetting. When enuresis is left untreated, it tends to correct spontaneously. Without treatment, about 15% of children stop bedwetting annually. However, it is alarming that about 1% of healthy adults (i.e. people between 18 and 64 years of age) bedwet regularly at night. Many enuretic children remain enuretic for life. Primary nocturnal enuresis also has a hereditary basis: if one parent suffered from bedwetting in childhood, the frequency of occurrence in the child is up to 3 times higher, or 7 times higher if both parents were affected. Modern medicine recognises three causes of bedwetting: 1) disturbed arousal response; 2) nocturnal polyuria: the level of vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) does not rise as much as it should during sleep, and more urine is produced at night, but it is less concentrated; 3) nocturnal bladder instability, when there is more activity of the bladder muscles. Bladder muscle activity is higher during sleep and its capacity is therefore lower than it should be.

From a Chinese medicine perspective, several causes may also be involved in childhood bedwetting. The most common cause is an imbalance of the Kidneys and Heart, where the Heart should "guard" the Kidney gate during sleep, and when the Bladder fills up, the baby should wake up and go to the toilet, but this does not happen. Furthermore, the constrictive function of the Kidneys and their Yang may be impaired (large amounts of poorly concentrated urine are formed), or the lifting function of the Spleen is inadequate - these children tend to be pale and tire more quickly than others. All of these conditions are addressed by the Zhi Xiao Er Yi Niao Tang blend. It combines two traditional recipes, Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang, which strongly strengthens the Spleen and supports its lifting function (a classic blend for treating incontinence, for example), and Suo Quan Wan, which strengthens the active Yang function of the Kidneys (replenishes Qi and Yang), thus constricting and preventing urine leakage. In addition, herbs have been added to the blend to harmonize the imbalance between the Heart and Kidneys, and others to strengthen the constricting and restraining function of the bladder. The number of dry nights increases and the child and family are freer and happier.
