Synopsis

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

Morinda, particularly Morinda citrifolia (commonly known as noni), has a history of use in traditional medicine systems, especially in regions such as Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. In some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) texts, Morinda officinalis (commonly referred to as "Ba Ji Tian") is referenced as a tonic herb believed to strengthen the kidneys and support urinary control. In the TCM paradigm, bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) is often attributed to a "kidney deficiency," and herbs like Morinda officinalis are sometimes included in herbal formulas to address this perceived imbalance. However, the rationale is based on traditional concepts rather than modern biomedical understanding.

There is very limited scientific evidence to support the efficacy of Morinda species for treating bedwetting. The published modern clinical research is minimal, and most available studies focus on other uses, such as immune modulation or general tonic effects. The evidence rating is therefore low—primarily historical/traditional rather than scientific. For those considering herbal approaches for bedwetting, it is important to recognize that mainstream medical evaluation and proven therapies should be prioritized, as the evidence for Morinda's effectiveness in this context remains weak and largely anecdotal.
