Corn silk may have several health benefits, including:

Urinary tract health:

  • Corn silk can help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and bladder infections by increasing urine production. It can help in acute and chronic cases of cystitis and is commonly used in prostate disorders. It can also soothe inflammation and strengthen the bladder.

Kidney stones:

  • Corn silk is thought to have a beneficial effect on the kidneys, reducing kidney stone formation and relieving some of the symptoms of existing stones.

Blood pressure:

  • Corn silk may help lower blood pressure by encouraging the body to eliminate excess fluid. A 2019 meta-analysis found that corn silk tea combined with other hypertensive treatments may be more effective than traditional treatments alone. In China, corn silk is used to treat fluid retention and jaundice.

Cholesterol:

  • Corn silk extract may reduce levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL).

Angina:

  • Corn silk may help improve the effectiveness of medications used to treat angina pectoris.

Childbirth:

  • Corn silk may encourage uterine contractions during childbirth.

 

Corn silk is rich in nutrients, including proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and sodium salts. However, people who already take diuretics or blood pressure medicine should check with a healthcare provider before taking corn silk, as there is debate on wether it can cause a loss of potassium or not.

Risks and Side Effects

Corn silk is considered safe when consumed in amounts normally found in food. Consuming it in larger amounts is not recommended for women who are pregnant because the plant material may stimulate the uterus.

People with diabetes should consume corn silk with caution, as it can naturally reduce blood sugar levels and may interfere with maintaining healthy levels.

People using medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, inflammation and blood clots should speak to a doctor before using corn silk. It shouldn’t be used therapeutically with diuretics, either.

It’s possible to be allergic to corn silk, so if you experience itching, skin rashes or redness after consumption, discontinue use.
