Dear Shannon;

 

This is about two older children and Dr. Bhate and Durgesh Mankikar,MD

responses on Ayurvedaonline. Perhaps there are some clues. The 10

year old did with his mother decide to do what was successful surgery

after some repeated results without it that kept retracting and a much

higher risk context at his age. If it were my son I would also

research into safe uses of key essential oils for protecting tissue

function and health, more easily influenced at this one's younger age,

but Mother has to be very involved in the conversation. Midwives,

have any ideas?

 

Kind Regards;

Ysha

 

Dear Ayurvedic community experts;

A young boy of 10 is suffering from chronic bedwetting and still

undescended right testicle. His mother has asked if there is any

advice. She has recently discovered the accupressure point on the

ankle for this testicle and finds it very tender; is rubbing it with

essential oils as he can tolerate.

Thanks for any advice;

Ysha

 

Bed wetting and undescended testicle may or may not be linked.

Some children wet the beds because their bladders are not capable of

holding back the urine until next morning. Some because they have

psychological problems from either early separation from the mother or

from anxiety of sleeping alone. Some wet because of their dreams.

 

Undescended testicle has its own separate problems. The testes descend

because it needs colder atmosphere for spermatogenesis. The abdominal

temperature is much warmer than that of the surrounding. The least it

could do is low sperm count and sterility. On the other hand, it can

cause cancer of the testes. If one is undescended, it may not result

in a low sperm count, but if both are undescended, it will definitely

result in it.

 

Rubbing accupressure point is not a bad beginning. But, if you do not

see a result within a week or so, you must consult a surgeon.

 

Durgesh Mankikar,MD

 

A boy aged 8 years and with undescended right testicle was cured

using PanchGavya medicines in approximately four months. The testicle

descended slowly and at the end of four months, there was small

noticeable difference in the level of both testicles. Vajrasana was

also used with slight modifications in this case. Light massage in

groin area with Aswagandha oil at bed time may also have contributed

to the ultimate result to some extent. But ayurveda being not

laboratory, numbers reg. what contributed to what extent is difficult

to say.

 

Bed wetting was not a problem here.

 

Author is aware that this does not help you since PanchGavya

medicines are not exported. But the objective of this post is to

propogate the message that Panch Gavya medicines are giving

miraculous results in the land of ayurveda.

 

For cases involving bed wetting, the dhatu building herbs approach

works in majority of cases. A ready-to-use formulation is " Amivita

Forte " from Unjha Pharmacy, Ahmedabad, India, which author has used

with success.

Dr Bhate
