I add a dash of nutmeg to my coffee daily and my overactive bladder is functionally normally again. Try if for two weeks to see if it works for you.

Robb’s post was from September 2019 so he may not see your request. His recipe includes 1 gram of cayenne and 1 gram of nutmeg. According to the Traditional Oven Web site, 1 gram of cayenne equals 0.56 of a teaspoon – just a little over 1/2 teaspoon.
The same site states that 1 gram of ground nutmeg is equal to 0.45 of a teaspoon – just a little under 1/2 teaspoon. I imagine using 1/2 teaspoon of each would be fine.

Hope that helps.

I drink a great deal of water and other fluids [ wine ] . My days starts at 3:00 am. I have 12 oz of water, 16 oz of coffee and head to the gym. I do X Fit, four to five days a week, I drink during the work out.
I wait for dawn and start my walk run, I do ten to fifteen miles everyday. I am peeing every 15-20 minutes, nights are no fun.
After reading what other people are doing i made a formula. 10 OZ ACV 1 grm Cayenne Pepper 1 grm Nutmeg Shake Well. I use 1oz of the above with 12 oz water.
In the afternoon I do the same but at 100mg of pure CBD. After one week, I am good, really good. I get up once at midnight and again at 3:00 am. During my walk and run I am down to a couple times in 3 hours.
KISS, Simple things can be magic. Thank you, Robb

ow I take the same dose in the evening. Now it's a 50/50 split between nights when I don't have to go at all, and nights when I only go one time. It's a game changer.

Acupressure for Frequent Urination Mary Beth (Pittsburgh) on 10/12/2016
Several energy practitioners advise pressing these points, that are, SO ODDLY, nowhere near the bladder.
Use light pressure on these points, about the weight of a nickel.
There are two “initial points" to press, first on one side, right or left -- and then do the same points on the remaining side. These are generally held for one minute, though if two points are held at the same time, the time spent is shortened.
There are also “controlling points", right and left again, that are held for just half a minute.
Here's what I did, though I will use "you" to encourage you!
The first set of points are to press a spot that is just a little further down your foot, just past where the little toe meets the foot, on the top of the foot. Press this point for one minute.
If you are able, you can be more efficient by pressing the other “initial" point -- your index finger nail -- against this spot just-beyond-the-little-toe. Choose the right side with both points -- and then repeat on the other side.
Or if that is too difficult, press on the near-the-toe-point with another hand -- and press the index fingernail with another hand -- separately. (Again, do the right side points and then the left side points.)
Do each of these points for one minute, either each point separately for one minute each -- or pressing one point with another point for one minute, pressing the two points together.
If you are extremely agile, you can press the right index fingernail on the beyond-the-little-toe point on right side, while also pressing the left index fingernail on the beyond-the-little-toe point on the left side. And that just takes one minute altogether!
Next there is another set of “controlling points" to press for just half a minute. I am going to hope that you can do these points with one hand on one knee -- and the other hand on the other knee -- in the same thirty seconds.
Find the spot in the center of the back of the knee. Press lightly there while also stretching a spare finger around to the middle of the front of the knee, going down about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch to a spot below the kneecap bone. Press these together for 30 seconds.
I did these pressings -- initial and controlling sets -- just once or twice in a two day time period. And I have been much more controlled than previously. I do have to be aware of how full my bladder is -- or if "number two" is pressing in on my bladder and causing issues.
But generally, this exercise has freed me and allowed me to go out into the world again. It is wonderful.
In point of fact, my bladder is now just a little too tight -- and many times I have to press on my bladder to get any "action." There are "sedation" points that I have also used, when I got too "tight."
I am happy to say that I no longer purchase “Depends" for security.
I have chronic Lyme disease and immune system issues, which is why this problem arose. But in talking to others about incontinence issues (and because of my success, it is often one of my main topics! ), this seems to be a growing problem for many of us. Note that adult incontinence products sell as much as baby diapers!
This may also work for “bed wetting" issues.
Please let me know if any of this is unclear -- and I will try to remedy it.

I have felt the need to urinate at least every 3 hours for 8 months. I rarely had a stream of anything substantial. Today, I was at a community center in Pittsburgh and spent 3 hours in a locker-room with a steamroom and a sauna. I was in one for a few minutes, then in another for a few more, maybe I took a shower to cool, and I kept repeating. I was doing it to see how much weight/water-weight I could shed. I didn't realize it, but I didn't go to the bathroom once after I went at 9am. I stayed until 12:20 or so, I drove home, and I didn't urinate until 5pm. After that, I didn't urinate until 1am. Maybe I won't wake up at 3 or 4 to go to the bathroom.
My frequent urination started after I was stopped at a red light and the driver in back of me didn't wait for me to take my foot off the brake before she put her foot on the gas-pedal. I thought things were fine, but hours later my left testicle was swollen and it was hurting. I went to the emergency-room, and was given pain-pills and some kind of ultrasound. it took a while for me to actually notice that I was going to the bathroom too much, but I was going every 3 hours. Sometimes less if I ate or drank.
I have been reading online about toxins being released in the sauna/steamroom, and I guess it makes sense. Some people tell me that it's crazy that sauna/steam could cure me, so maybe it was an answered prayer. Maybe it's both the prayer and the sauna/steamroom. Maybe prayer got me into the sauna/steamroom, but this is what worked for me.

I thought high conductivity indicated too great a concentration of electrolyte minerals and that this would be addressed by increased electrolytes. High conductivity suggests the person needs more plain water, without the electrolytes. How do I resolve that discrepancy?
This person has problems holding onto water and tends to immediately urinate any excess water.

Read an interesting article and thinks it worth passing on. Old folks have to get up in the middle of the night to go pee. Most have to because their urine is acid and their body is trying to save them. It is not because their bladder is full. So to help get a good night's sleep, drink a glass of water with a teaspoon of baking soda in it prior to bed time. It is working for us. ======RH=======
