A member asked:

Can natural medicines like garlic/ayurveda preparations increase frequency of urination?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on contents: If you are asking to increase your urine frequency, a better question is why is it slow to start with? That should be evaluated by a urologist and is often age related. So called natural medicines are often derived from tree bark and plants; while not usually harmful direct effects are very difficult to demonstrate.
