Homeopathy Remedies for Enuresis


Anshutz gives a useful therapeutic differential diagnosis of the condition Enuresis, with the most useful homeopathic remedies. Therapeutic byways by E.P. Anshutz, published in 1900….


Ferrum phosphoricum [Ferr-p]

      This drug has cured enuresis in both young and old, especially in the aged. Also, inability to retain urine during the day. Take 4 or 5 tablets of Ferrum phos. 6x, say, twice a day.

Taraxacum [Tarax]

      A tincture of Taraxacum-the dandelion-provokes involuntary urination at night and, consequently, ought, according to the Homoeopathic Law, be a remedy for bed wetting. Whether it be given best in 1 drop doses of the tincture, the 3d or the 30th potency, is uncertain. Possibly, if anyone tried it, it would be well to go from the 30 and so on down the scale, stopping when there is relief.

Mullein oil Where there is a constant seeping of urine, as sometimes happens, Mullein oil in 1 drop doses, twice a day, is said to help, that is according to the testimony of Dr. A.M. Cushing, who proved the drug.
