Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) has a long history of use in traditional medicine for various ailments, primarily for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and mild sedative effects. In the context of bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis), chamomile has been traditionally used in some cultures as a gentle remedy intended to calm the nervous system and reduce nighttime anxiety or restlessness in children, which are sometimes believed to contribute to bedwetting. However, this use is largely anecdotal and rooted in folk practices rather than robust clinical evidence.

There is very limited scientific research specifically addressing the efficacy of chamomile in treating or supporting bedwetting. Most available studies on chamomile focus on its effects for anxiety, sleep disorders, and digestive complaints. No high-quality randomized controlled trials have been published that directly evaluate its impact on nocturnal enuresis. As such, while chamomile is generally considered safe for most people and has a tradition of use for soothing purposes, its application for bedwetting should be viewed as traditional rather than evidence-based. Health professionals typically do not recommend chamomile as a primary intervention for bedwetting due to the paucity of scientific validation.
