The efficacy of a homoeopathic complex (Cantharis vesicatoris 12CH, Equisetum hyemale 12CH, Sarsaparilla 12CH, Staphisagria 12CH,Uva ursi 12CH) in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis in children between the ages of five and eighteen years, residing in children`s homes

Abstract

The purpose of this randomised double blind study was to evaluate the efficacy of the homoeopathic complex (Cantharis vesicatoria 12CH, Equisetum hyemale 12CH, Sarsaparilla 12CH, Delphinium staphysagria 12CH, Uva ursi 12CH) in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis with regard to the number of wet nights per week. It focused on children between the ages offive and eighteen, residing at children's homes in the greater Durban area. It was hypothesised that the homoeopathic medication would reduce the weekly incidences of bed wetting and thus provide a, safe, viable and effective alternative to existing treatment options.
