Homeopathic Therapy for Bladder Spasms

Bladder spasms result from neurological issues, menopause, dietary issues, urinary tract infections or even medications. The symptoms of bladder spasms include an urgency to evacuate, pain and incontinence. Homeopathic remedies like Causticum, Mercurius and Nux vomica help alleviate the discomfort associated with bladder spasms, safely, with no side effects.

  1. Nux Vomica

    • Try the plant based remedy Nux vomica. Nux vomica, also referred to as Poison Nut Tree and Quaker's buttons, is a tree growing in Australia, China, and other areas in Asia. When a person has cystitis with a frequent urge to evacuate, yet she produces very little urine, Nux vomica is indicated. Her symptoms will generally improve when she is kept warm and receives adequate rest and will tend to worsen if she ingests stimulants or spicy foods.

    Causticum

    • Try the mineral based remedy Causticum for bladder spasms when there is intermittent incontinence when coughing or sneezing. Causticum is also commonly referred to as potassium hydrate and is made of equal parts potash and calcium oxide. Use if the sufferer has cystitis type symptoms and either an urgent need to evacuate or the inability to urinate due to spasms. The patient will also complain of being greatly affected by the weather, particularly cold weather; his symptoms generally improve when he is kept warm and worsen when he is exposed to cold conditions.

    Mercurius corrosivus

    • Try Mercurius corrosivus for pain, along with spasms, from the bladder. Mercurius corrosivus, more commonly referred to as Mercuric chloride, is a typical homeopathic remedy for restlessness and anxiety. Use when the patient has swollen glands and complains of burning pain in the bladder upon evacuation, although very little urine is produced. Her symptoms typically improve while she rests and worsen in fresh air.

    Conventional Medical Treatment

    • Remember that conventional medicine may be required as an intervention if your symptoms persist for more than 36 to 72 hours. Bladder spasms can indicate a serious health issue, so it's important to speak with your health care provider before undertaking any alternative remedies to help treat your symptoms.

    Tips and Cautions

    • Never self-prescribe homeopathic remedies for chronic conditions; always consult with a licensed, professional homeopath for proper remedies and dosage suggestions.
