For the irritable bladder, not infectious cystitis, I found an acupuncture remedy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and it is the 62V point of the bladder meridian.

Massaging this point clockwise (toning) I found immediate relief. Neither allopathic (conventional) medicine, nor bioenergetic medicine, nor homeopathic medicine offered me a solution.

Thank God I found healing when I was already very frustrated and disappointed.


EC: Thank you, Luis! For those interested in locating this point: Type "62V shen mai" into Google images to see the meridian point just below the shin bone (Tibia).

Diatomaceous Earth for Bladder Issues

Cathy (Tennessee) on 09/10/2018

Jade.. I have experienced similar symptoms to what you described with bladder. When I would go it was small amounts but ALL the time. Which made me think it could be a blockage in the urinary tract from toxins medications Etc. I started taking Diatomaceous earth powder one teaspoon a day in water--- there is no flavor whatsoever... it's just a little gritty in the water. Just mix it in a quarter of a cup to half a cup of water and drink it on empty stomach. I eventually increased up to 3 teaspoons a day. My bladder symptoms decreased and I started going normal amounts and far less frequently. And bladder irritation symptoms resolved. It's an amazing dietary supplement and has so many benefits for so many things. Do some research and see what you think. I found no side effects except the first day it tends to also clean out your colon (one run to the bathroom one time..but after that first those it never had that effect again). I realize this post is old and you may not see my response but maybe this can help others.

How I Stopped the Urge to Urinate at Night

Charles D. (Burlington, Ontario, Canada) on 01/03/2018

I have been waking with the urge to urinate 3 and sometimes 4 times through the night for a few years now. Often then I could not get back to sleep. I found by taking a spoon full of creamed clover honey I would get back to sleep quickly. One night while going to bed and not feeling sleepy I decided to take a spoonful before going to bed. Wonderful I slept all night with no urge to go. I now take a spoonful every night at bed time and some night get up once and just as often not at all.

Castor Oil for Bladder Pain

Mollie (Miami) on 08/16/2017

I woke up with pain in my bladder area. Usually I use frankincense essential oil, a drop massaged into the lower abdomen a couple of times a day when I realize I have a bladder infection coming on. I was horrified to find my frankincense oil bottle completely empty.

On to plan B.

I poured some castor oil into my hand and massaged in into my lower abdomen. A while later (less than an hour) I realized the pain was gone.

I think I caught the bladder infection early; not sure that it would have worked so easily if the infection was more established.

Nutmeg for Bladder Control

Natural Girl (Ga) on 02/25/2017

This absolutely worked! I was going to the restroom very frequently and found that my urge had no warning. It would come on and then I would have an accident. So I tried the nutmeg and I had immediate results and will be taking it regularly/everyday. I drank the usual amount of water that I would have and though I felt the need, it wasn't overwhelming as it once was, the urge is no longer frequent and I have better control. As mentioned, the results were immediate upon ingesting the grounded nutmeg. Thank you!

Nutmeg for Overactive Bladder and Stress Incontinence:

I am shocked to say it absolutely worked. I went to the store and bought some nutmeg. Ate a little on the way home and nearly immediately it stopped my nearly constant urge to use the restroom. Amazing.

I tried the pumpkin seed oil caps for a few weeks for a leaky bladder and did not notice a difference at all. I sure hate having this issue. Always nervous when out & about and wondering where is the nearest restroom, if there is one.

Avoiding Sugar Cured Overactive Bladder

Lea (Ca, Usa) on 07/28/2015

For years I suffered with frequent episodes of over active bladder, most always accompanied by headaches in the forehead region and most noticed at night. Tests for infection were always negative.

It wasn't until the last couple of years that I discovered that consuming sugar caused these flare ups. I believe that I had systemic Candida.

Now, as long as I strictly limit the amount of sugar I consume, I have no more bladder issues, headaches or body aches.

My bladder leaking was getting worse from light leaking to a sudden flood. I tried nutmeg and it helped a bit but not much. I now take pumpkin seed oil - 2 1000 mg capsules a day and no leaks at all. I hope this helps someone else.

Stachys Lavandulifolia for Bladder Issues

Kasra (Tehran) on 02/11/2015

Stachys ' lavandulifolia':.

I've been suffering from bladder pain almost my whole life. All of a sudden a friend of mine gave me some herbal tea and insist me to use it, I refused to take it because I don't drink anything even water unless I have to.

I don't know exactly what made me add it to tea and drink it, and after using it I yet didn't realize that it made me don't feel my bladder anymore that bothered me a lot during the day, right after drinking anything, while peeing and when I was sleeping at nights ( I woke up 3/4 times per night to go to bathroom even when my bladder was not full it forced me to go bathroom and have a painful urination ).

Anyway, I'm using it almost everyday, and here are the results that I never experienced in my life with anything else before:

  • I don't feel my bladder anymore even if it is full.
  • I can have a easy urination, with comfort and without feeling that it is getting blocked in my urethra.
  • I can sleep much better at nights without having urge to go to bathroom ( I only wake up once ).
  • I can hold myself without feeling pain for a very longer durations.

I like the scent it gives to tea, you can have it without tea, I guess it can make even better results if you take it solo.

I hope it helps you all with bladder issues, it is a relief in my life and I seriously like it and recommend it to everybody, not only people with bladder issues, but anyone who wants to enjoy an amazing herbal tea. you should prepare it exactly how you prepare tea.

I take two glass mixed with tea everyday.

Make sure to not add sugar or other sweetener to make best results , but I take dates with it myself :-) ( with cookies it was still effective but not as much as I took it with dates ). I don't think many people are aware of it yet, but I hope everyone will.

Re: D-Mannose for Bladder Issues

I've used the d-mannose for quite sometime. My urologist said proven fact that cranberry is great for bladder health/infection. So sometime ago I was introduced to cran-actin with d-mannose. A wonderful combination for bladder health. My advisor who owns a local health food store said "I bet it's the tinnactic acid in tea...my daughter said it irritates her bladder and seems to increase spasms. Bottomline is I use cran-actin with d-mannose whenever I have a symptom or known exposure that my cause problems. Love it. Certainly recommend it too.

I used to think I had cystitis of my bladder. I went to the Doctor who found no infection and told me to eat less chocolate. Which was good advice. Also good advice is to drink no coffee or tea. And to take baking soda with water or with water and psyllium.

Bladder Issues, Urinating Pressure Lower Than Before

Joeelli (Dublin) on 10/08/2013

hello people, just before orgasm during sexual intercourse I feel as if I have to urinate although having had emptied the bladder before. For your information - I am a male. Besides, to me the feeling of the orgasm is way less intense as before. Furthermore, I have the impression that my urinating pressure is less intense than before and the urine- stream is doubled sometimes. I do not feel any pain. 4 months ago I had pain/burn while urinating. I was prescribed antibiotics and pain got away. Any help appreciated.

Aspartame Related Bladder Issues

Jade (Oblivion, Ohio) on 06/06/2013

Good afternoon, I appreciate all the information I have found on your site. I noticed that you reference chronic aspartame and processed foods as causing renal problems. I am a 34 year old woman. For most of my life, I've consumed processed foods, especially diet soda and many other what I thought were healthy diet foods along with sugar.

For the past few years, I have had trouble with urinary frequency and leakage and get recurrent mild UTIs. From my research, I am guessing this is due to my terrible lifestyle habits. I am fortunate that I do not have hypertension or diabetes. Six months ago, I did a complete diet and lifestyle overhaul and started seeing a naturopathic physician. I've cut out all of the diet and processed foods. I don't take any medications, only herbs. I eat an 80% raw diet, juice, and blend. My energy level and thyroid function have improved dramatically, but I am still struggling with my kidneys/bladder. I take probiotics and cranberry supplements. I've tried D-Mannose as well. What would you suggest to repair my kidney and bladder trouble with the suspected cause of food toxins?

Thank you, :)

Help Requested for Urethral Stricture and Split Urine Stream

Sa (SL) on 05/29/2013

I am female, aged 26 and lately, I have noticed that my urine stream splits into two. I don't have any extra urethral orifice, the doctors consider that it might be some urethral stricture and suggested urethral dilation for it. Is there any way I can set it right with natural remedies? I don't want a urethral dilation as it would only temporary relieve the stream issue. Thank you.

Malic Acid And Bladder Issues

Joy (Battleground, Wash) on 04/19/2013

Just been reading to find some answers and found a site that talked about MALIC ACID in apple juice and apple cider irritating the bladder and weakening the system supporting it.

They also talked about absorption problems causing vitamin and mineral deficiencies and how they cause hormone imbalance and how the hormone imbalance affects the muscles that hold the bladder in place.

They said APPLES DO NOT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM and encourage eating apples.

Cause of Bladder Leaks

Joy (Battleground, Wash) on 04/03/2013

Some fitness instructors develop bladder leaks and pelvic floor issues because they don't relax the muscles enough between the tensions for muscle building, causing muscle failure.

Some children have too much tension leading to bowel or bladder control failure and need bio feedback to get beyond the stress of tensing muscles and overloading them.
