ABSTRACT

Nocturnal enuresis i.e Shayyamutra though not physically very harmful but negatively affects child psychology and is assign of delayed neurological development. Ayurveda considers this problem as a Kaphaavrit Vata condition along with Tama involvement. The description regarding Shayyamutra is found in Sharangadhara and Vangasen Samhita Review of the literature and reported studies in Ayurvedic parlance states importance of certain Kaphaghna/Pramehaghna drugs (like Marich, Bimbi, Vangabhasma, Khadira, Shilajit, ChandraprabhaVati), Nervine tonics (like Brahmi, Giloy, Yashtimadhu, Shankhpushpi), Panchakarma therapies (especially Nasya and Shirodhara) and most important Sattvavajaya Chikitsa. Thus Considering pathology of the Shayyamutra, treatment should be planned in a multi dimensional approach including all components of management than merely choosing single drug or Kalpa.
