Synopsis

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

White rice has been mentioned in some traditional medicine systems, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, as a component in dietary adjustments for children who experience bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis). In these traditions, white rice is considered easily digestible and believed to help "strengthen the spleen" or "soothe the digestive system," which are thought to be related to bladder control in TCM theory. However, these concepts do not map directly to Western biomedical understanding. There is currently no scientific evidence from clinical trials or modern medical research supporting the use of white rice to treat or prevent bedwetting. Most modern pediatric and urological guidelines do not mention white rice as an intervention for nocturnal enuresis. The traditional rationale is largely based on historical dietary practices and holistic theories about the body's energy balance rather than empirical evidence. Overall, while white rice may be recommended as part of a bland, easily digestible diet for general health or digestive issues in some traditional systems, its specific role in treating bedwetting is not substantiated by scientific research, and the evidence supporting its efficacy is very limited.
