Thanks for sending the detailed information. After reading the details I can conclude, according to Ayurveda, your problem is too much pitta or heat in the body. The increased pitta, located mainly in the middle part of the body makes the semen thin and thus it can easily go out while you are sleeping. The presence of too much pitta is confirmed by the fact that foods which are heating (red dried chillies) and not tolerable by your system. Frequent urination and yellow color of the urine also indicates increase of Pitta and its presence in the uro-genital system.

Over this period of your sickness, your vata has also increased due to stress relating to sickness.The pain in the back is mainly because of the weakness which is caused by loosing to "shukra dhatu" (semen).

I have treated hundreds of such cases having nocturnal emission. The main line of treatment in such cases it to reduce the quantity of pitta from the system. Here are some remedies and you can try some of them. I am sure you will see a lot of improvement in about four weeks of treatment. Please send me a report after four weeks.

Black chikpea is a very good remedy for your problem. Try on some Indian Store, you will find it. In Hindi it's called "kala chana". Take about 30 grams black chipeas and soak them in about one cup water, for at least 12 hours (better in the evening). Next morning eat these chickpeas slowly and chew them nicely. The water can also be taken by mixing two teaspoonful of honey in it.

A glass of warm milk with two bananas is nice remedy and can be taken twice a day - morning and evening.

Carot is also beneficial. Carot juice can be taken. Adding a teaspoonful of honey will be beneficial. Carot "halva" is also good but do not add too much sugar. It will be better to add honey for sweetening (after cooking) and no sugar.

Dried dates or dates and black resins are also beneficial to treat this problem. Take about 3-4 pieces of dried dates and 15 pieces of black resins. Soak them in water for at least 12 hours. Then take it out and boil with 250ml. of milk and eat with milk. Once a day is good.

Taking a cold hip bath is also very beneficial to reduce the heat in the area. A hip bath is taken by sitting in a tub full with water (about 15 degrees C). Usually the legs are out of the tub and only the abdominal region is dipped in the water. Such a hip bath can be taken for 8-10 minutes.

Do not overeat, specially in the night. Eat your dinner at least 2-3 hours before sleeping. The food should be light that can be easily digestible.

Do not drink hot milk immediately before going to bed.

Wash the hands, feet and face with cool water before going to bed. Also everyday wash the genitals with cool water.

Make sure the bowels are always clean. Constipation is a very big cause for nocturnal emission. When the stool (toxins) lie in the rectum or colon it increases the heat or pitta in the area and also exerts pressure on the seminal sac, facilitating the excretion of semen. It is nice to take a teaspoonful of Triphala, if necessary.

Sleep on the back and not on the belly.

Purity of mind is also very important, which I don't have to specify, as you are a devotee and I am sure you know that it is important to maintain a "sattvik" state of mind, in order to cure this sickness.

Never overeat and do not eat foods that are fried, deep fried (like pakora, samosa), oily, greasy, very spicy, and heavy (not easy to digest). Avoid too much white sugar and white flour products. Eggplant, spinach, Urad dal, and sweets should also be avoided.

Try some of there remedies and let me know if there is anything you do not understand.

Hari Hari!
