🌿 Other Natural Remedies That Help
While the 4-minute salt water method can be powerful, combining it with other natural practices can bring even better results.
1. Herbal Teas (Early in the Evening)
Some herbs have bladder-calming properties. Try:
Chamomile – Relaxes the body and reduces nighttime awakenings.
Corn Silk Tea – Traditionally used for urinary tract health.
Horsetail Tea – May reduce bladder irritation.
Drink these at least 2–3 hours before bed to avoid adding more fluid right before sleep.
2. Bladder Training
Practice holding urine a little longer during the day to strengthen your bladder muscles. Over time, this can reduce urgency at night.
3. Magnesium-Rich Foods
Foods like spinach, almonds, and pumpkin seeds support muscle relaxation — including the bladder.
4. Avoiding Nighttime Triggers
Limit alcohol and caffeine after 5 p.m.
Avoid overly salty or spicy meals before bed.
Stop drinking large amounts of fluids 2 hours before sleep.
