Source-grounded summary
A clinical study by the Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda (ITRA), Jamnagar, reports that an integrated approach combining Ayurvedic medicine with yoga asanas shows encouraging results in managing nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) among children. The eight-week study on children aged 6–14 years compared a group receiving Ayurvedic medicine (Medhya Rasayana Churna) alone with a group receiving the same medicine alongside selected yoga asanas. The findings indicate greater improvements in bedwetting frequency reduction, memory enhancement, irritability reduction, and hyperactivity control in the combined intervention group.
