Corn Silk is useful for the whole urinary system
It can be helpful especially in this autumn time of year as the urinary tract is under more pressure.
- Bladder support and bed wetting control
2. Chronic Urinary disorders- It supports and cleanses the whole urinary tract. It can be helpful for UTIs also
3. Gout– It reduces uric acid build-up
4. Child birth support – helps uterine contractions in childbirth and will bring contractions back if labor stops. It can also slow down bleeding after the baby is born. Don’t use during pregnancy as it can contract the uterine.
5. Prostate Gland Problems – it will alleviate painful urination due to prostate enlargement
6. Kidney Support – it helps rid the body of the ammonia odor in the urine
7. Water retention
How to use: Save your corn silk from your corn on the cobs if they come from a clean source. Dry them and bag them ready for use. I chop them up with a knife and add to tea.
