ABSTRACT

Children in the modern age suffer at large due to physical problems; in addition to that they also suffer from psychological problem too. The behavioural problems like Shayyamutra (Bed - wetting), Nail biting, Stammering, Sleepwalking etc. in young children are quite common and arise from a complex interaction between child and environment. Enuresis/bedwetting (Shayyamutra) is involuntary passing of urine while in sleep after the age at which bladder control would normally be anticipated. Children are most among the sufferers of bedwetting may because of starting of development of personality and ego since the age of 3 years which culminates as negativism against parents when they forced them to control the bladder. Moreover, it hampers the emotional and social growth of the child. Parents and family members are frequently stressed by a child’s bedwetting. Shayyamutra was explained in Ayurvedic Classics with respect to its clinical features and treatment. A drug which is nervine tonic and able to increase bladder control and tone of bladder muscles with Grahi, Stambhana and Mutrasangrahaniya properties can be able to reverse the pathology of Shayyamutra.
