Incontinence - Chinese Medicine explanation and treatment

In adults, the common problem of bladder incontinence often affects women after childbirth and in men it may result from prostate problems. Chinese Medicine treatment is similar to that used for bed-wetting in children. It is often a kidney yang deficiency plus internal coldness. When the kidney energy is weakened, its function in holding water is affected in the same way as weakness in the human body makes it difficult for a sick person to close a heavy door. A familiar, usually effective Chinese Medicine remedy is Golden Lock Tea.
