Corn silk

Stigmata Maydis

Bulgarian folk medicine uses corn silk as a diuretic, for atherosclerosis and uterine bleeding, and also for nosebleeds. Tea from the herb increases urine output and helps cleanse the kidneys. If corn silks are left for a while without being completely dried, they lose their diuretic properties and then act as a laxative.

It is believed that corn silk causes the excretion of a larger amount of uric acid and phosphates in the urine. The best results are obtained by using corn silk tea for cystitis, albuminuria and chronic heart failure. It is believed that corn silk is the best medicine for relieving pain in chronic cystitis and kidney stones.

An infusion of the herb gives good results in fungal diseases and trichomoniasis and is used in gynecology. It can cause uterine contractions. It is also used as a remedy for painful menstruation. Corn cobs also have a pronounced choleretic effect.
