Synopsis

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

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) has been used in some traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurvedic and Unani practices, for a variety of urinary disorders, including enuresis (bedwetting). The rationale for its use is primarily based on its perceived cooling properties and its supposed ability to soothe the urinary tract. Traditional texts sometimes recommend sugarcane juice or derivatives to help with urinary frequency or irritation, which may be indirectly related to bedwetting in children. However, there is no robust clinical or pharmacological evidence supporting the efficacy of sugarcane for treating nocturnal enuresis. Modern scientific literature lacks studies evaluating sugarcane’s effectiveness in this context, and it is not recognized in contemporary medical guidelines as a treatment for bedwetting. Thus, the use of sugarcane for this condition is justified primarily by tradition rather than scientific validation, and its supporting evidence is very weak. In summary, sugarcane’s role in treating bedwetting is based on historical usage rather than empirical proof.
