Bed-wetting is also known as "enuresis",
the habit of urinating in bed, normally it is involuntary. It is most common in early childhood but can occur in older
children. The causes are unknown. Do not spank or scold the child for bed wetting as that will only make the
problem worse. We know of many cases of where the child after taking the right nutritional
supplements were helped in just a few days.
