Hello Satinder, Ayurveda may help manage an overactive bladder and improve urinary flow through natural therapies, herbal remedies, and lifestyle adjustments. Ayurvedic herbs like Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) can support urinary health and reduce frequency (500 mg twice daily), while Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) helps reduce swelling and promotes smooth urination (500 mg twice daily). Additionally, Varun (Crataeva nurvala) supports prostate and bladder health, aiding urine flow (500 mg twice daily). For lifestyle, drinking warm water and herbal teas while avoiding cold fluids can help prevent bladder aggravation, while limiting caffeine and excess fluids after evening can reduce nighttime urgency. Bladder training—gradually extending time between bathroom trips—may also strengthen control. Daily self-massage with warm sesame oil (Abhyanga) and gentle exercises, especially pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises, can further support bladder function. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to personalize treatments and adjust dosages for your specific needs and health conditions. With regular follow-ups and these adjustments, gradual improvement may be expected.

Given your age and symptoms, it’s essential to adopt a holistic approach to manage your prostate health and overactive bladder. In Ayurveda, conditions like yours can often be addressed by focusing on lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and herbal remedies that promote urinary health.

Start by incorporating foods that are beneficial for prostate health, such as pumpkin seeds, which are rich in zinc and support urinary function. Hydration is crucial, so ensure you drink adequate fluids throughout the day but reduce fluid intake a few hours before bedtime to minimize nighttime trips to the bathroom.

Herbs like Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) are traditionally used to support urinary tract health and may help with symptoms of overactive bladder. Additionally, Varuna (Crataeva nurvala) is known for its diuretic properties and can aid in improving urinary flow and reducing frequency. You might also benefit from Triphala, which can help with constipation while promoting overall digestive health.

Incorporating gentle yoga or stretching exercises can enhance circulation and relaxation, which may help with bladder control. It's also beneficial to practice Pranayama (breath control) to reduce stress, which can exacerbate urinary symptoms.
