A new Loyola University Health System (LUHS) study shows therapy based on natural and ancient meditation techniques can train the brain to control the bladder without medication or operations.
The research findings, just published in the latest issue of the Journal of Urology conclude cognitive therapy which incorporates meditation-based deep breathing, relaxation and visualization is an effective management strategy for the strong and uncontrollable need to urinate frequently dubbed “urge incontinence”.
Another natural therapy – Kegel exercises that involve tightening and holding pelvic muscles, relaxing , and repeating the process several times a day – have been shown repeatedly to help women with incontinence.
