During outpatient consultations, I've noticed many people are troubled by frequent nighttime urination. Some simply endure it and don't take it seriously, while others buy medications haphazardly and attempt self-regulation without proper care—showing little regard for their own health!

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, the kidneys and bladder are "partners." When kidney qi is deficient, the bladder cannot properly retain urine and perform its transformative function, leading naturally to increased nighttime urination—especially noticeable after drinking water

If you get up several times during the night, struggle to sleep soundly, feel fatigued during the day, and have difficulty concentrating, and this continues over the long term, the repeated filling and emptying of your bladder will weaken its function, and your kidney qi will become even more deficient, worsening the issue of nocturia. For elderly individuals aged 60 and above, getting up during the night also increases the risk of falling, which can be very dangerous!

Today, I’d like to share a beneficial herb with you: raspberry, which has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and promoting astringency. It can help reduce involuntary urination while also nourishing kidney qi, restoring kidney function from the root, and improving the bladder’s qi-transforming capacity. You can simply steep raspberries in hot water for 10 minutes and drink a cup daily—it’s simple and convenient. Have you got that down?
