General Information:
Corn silk is the long, silky threads that grow on corncobs. Though it’s often discarded when corn is prepared for eating, it may have several medicinal applications. As an herbal remedy, corn silk has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Native American medicine. It’s still used today in many countries, including China, France, Turkey, and the United States. Corn silk is the long, thread-like strands of plant material that grow underneath the husk of a fresh ear of corn. These shiny, thin fibers aid the pollination and growth of corn, but they’re also used in traditional herbal medicine practices. Corn silk contains a variety of plant compounds that may be responsible for various health effects.
