Bed Wetting in Children
According to information found on www.nationwidechildrens.org, approximately 15 percent of children wet the bed at age 5. That number decreases with age occurring in only 1-2 percent of children age 14 and older. Boys are twice as likely as girls to wet the bed.
Maybe this information is correct yet the 5 reasons that are given as main causes for children bed wetting seem to be a bit out of reality. As per clinical experience we must say that there are numerous pretty serious mind and body imbalances that can cause bed wetting.

Clinical Relevance
To understand how mind and body communicate and what impact can emotions bring to weaken kidneys you should read pages 11- 49 and pages 108 – 123 of my book, Your MindBody Alliance & The Truth About Acupuncture.
Our clinical experience shows that people who are not educated in anatomy and physiology are not aware of how to preserve their health. The lack of knowledge and understanding how mind and body correlate leads people to feel out of control over their own health. Reading this book everyone becomes knowledgeable enough to withstand any body health problem and preserve one’s health.
