Synopsis

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

Sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum) has been mentioned in various traditional medicinal systems, including Ayurveda and Unani, for a range of health concerns. In some traditional practices, sugar cane or its derivatives (such as sugar cane juice or jaggery) have been recommended for urinary tract health, and occasionally for conditions like bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis), particularly in children. The rationale in these systems often relates to sugar cane's perceived diuretic, cooling, and soothing properties, which are believed to help balance bodily humors or energies and support urinary tract function.

However, there is no robust scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of sugar cane for bedwetting. Modern clinical trials or pharmacological studies investigating sugar cane's impact on nocturnal enuresis are lacking. Contemporary medical literature does not recognize sugar cane as a treatment for bedwetting, and any supportive claims remain within the realm of tradition and anecdote rather than validated science. Thus, while it is sometimes used in traditional medicine for this purpose, its efficacy is not established by rigorous research.

Given the absence of scientific validation and the reliance on traditional beliefs, the evidence rating for sugar cane as a treatment for bedwetting is very low.
