Treat Your urinary incontinence with Traditional Kerala Ayurveda

While Ayurveda doesn’t offer an immediate solution for urinary incontinence, it provides holistic practices that complement conventional medical care and manage associated symptoms. Here’s a breakdown of key Ayurvedic options for incontinence:

Dietary Adjustments:

• Focus on Dosha-pacifying foods:
  
  • Vata: Warm, nourishing soups, stews, whole grains, nuts, and seeds to reduce weakness and nerve dysfunction.
  • Pitta: Cooling fruits, vegetables, coconut water, ghee to address burning and inflammation.
  • Kapha: Light, digestible lentils, leafy greens, spices like ginger to improve sluggish function and incomplete emptying.
• Avoid: Foods that aggravate imbalanced doshas (cold/dry for Vata, spicy/oily for Pitta, heavy/sweet for Kapha) to prevent worsening symptoms.
• Maintain a balanced diet: Ensure adequate fiber, vitamins, and minerals for overall health and bladder function.
• Reduce bladder irritants: Limit caffeine, alcohol, acidic foods, and artificial sweeteners to minimize urgency and leakage.

Internal Herbal Remedies 

• Punarnava: Diuretic and antibacterial properties help improve bladder function and fight infections.
• Gokhru (Tribulus terrestris): Strengthens bladder muscles and promotes overall urinary health.
• Triphala: Balances doshas, detoxifies, and supports bladder and immune system function.
• Yashodhara Churna: Tones the bladder and reduces urine leakage.
