Corn silk (Stigma maydis) is a functional food used for bladder infections, inflammation of the urinary system, inflammation of the prostate, kidney stones, and bedwetting. Corn silk tea or extract can acts as a gentle diuretic, removing excess body edema by way of urination. “Increased urine flow can prevent the buildup of bacteria that leads to urinary tract infections (UTIs) and bladder infections.” 

Corn silk soothes inflammation & eases pain of bladder infections & UTI`s. It contributes to making the bladder wall slippery, stopping bacteria from adhering. Increased urination strengthens the bladder.  Corn silk is suggested as an extract or tea for children experiencing bedwetting and adults with urinary incontinence. Corn silk has also been proven to work towards preventing kidney stones and protects against kidney damage caused by certain medications and cancer treatments that harm the kidneys. 

  • Corn silk soothes inflammation in the bladder and urinary tract.
