Rating (out of 5): 1

Anamu (Petiveria alliacea) is a medicinal plant commonly used in traditional medicine in parts of the Caribbean, Central, and South America. Its uses have historically included treatment for pain, inflammation, infections, and even as a diuretic. However, references to Anamu's use for bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) are sparse and largely anecdotal. Some ethnobotanical records mention Anamu as a folk remedy to "strengthen the bladder" or treat urinary issues, but these references are not widespread or well-documented in the scientific literature. There are no notable clinical trials or controlled studies evaluating Anamu's effectiveness for bedwetting, nor is there a clear pharmacological rationale established for this specific use. The evidence supporting Anamu for bedwetting is therefore limited to traditional or folk usage, without rigorous validation. In summary, while there is a minor traditional precedent, the evidence base is weak and not supported by modern research.
