Corn silks are the silky tassels running the length of an ear of corn. Those same strings you work so hard to get out of an ear of corn soothe and relax the urinary tubes, and are believed to have a beneficial effect on the kidneys. Corn silk is indicated first wherever chronic inflammation exists in any part of the urinary tract or kidneys. Corn silk is not considered a food, but the tea make from the silk has a long history of use in traditional folk medicine. Corn silk contains many of the phytochemicals found in barley greens, the thymol found in thyme, and also the menthol found in mint. It may or may not contain vitamin K, depending on the growing conditions and how it is stored.

Columbus discovered maize in the New World in 1492 and brought it back to Spain, from where it spread throughout Europe, to North Africa, the Middle East, India and China. Maize (Zea mays, or corn as it is known in some countries) is the only cereal crop that has an American origin and which is now a principal cereal crop in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world.

 Zea mays, the botanical name for corn comes from Greek, meaning to live. Mays comes from Spanish, the same word as a term in a native Mexican language meaning "mother," or "mother of life." Native Americans taught the European settlers to drink a tea made from cornsilk. Both colonists and Indians used cornmeal poultices made from cornmeal boiled in milk, for burns. |
