Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Almond oil has been traditionally used in some cultures as a topical remedy for a variety of ailments, including bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) in children. In certain traditional medicine systems, such as Unani and Ayurveda, almond oil is sometimes massaged onto the lower abdomen or lower back of children believed to help strengthen the bladder or calm the nervous system, thereby reducing episodes of bedwetting. However, there is a lack of robust scientific studies validating this use. The rationale for using almond oil in these traditions is often tied more to its general reputation as a mild, soothing oil than to any specific pharmacological action on bladder or urinary function. Clinical trials or peer-reviewed studies supporting almond oil for bedwetting are essentially nonexistent. As a result, any evidence supporting its efficacy is anecdotal or based on longstanding cultural practice rather than empirical observation. For these reasons, while the use of almond oil for bedwetting has a basis in tradition, it does not have substantial scientific support.
