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.
Suggested Dosage (by mouth):
For Cystitis (UTI)
Adults - 1-2 Droppers Full 3X Daily (with 8 ounces of water) while symptoms last.
Children - 1 Dropper Full 3X Daily (with 8 ounces of water) while symptoms last.

from 41 reviewsI started using this cream to help balance my hormones after being diagnosed with PCOS. Chaste Berry gives me headaches, so I talked to Jessie about getting one without, and she happily made me a special batch of cream! I’ve only been using it for a couple of weeks, but it does seem to be helping my almost daily hormonal headaches I was getting! I would definitely recommend trying this product if you’re struggling with hormonal imbalances ☺️ Jessie is wonderful to work with, and is more than willing to customize your products if you have an allergy, sensitivity, etc. Fantastic customer service 💗
I ate something that didn’t agree with my stomach and I took two of these…my stomach settled in about 30 minutes or so. Loved it!
The anticipation for this package to get to me was unreal. The second I had it open I was diving into my products and sending pictures to my family and friends. Communication about the products has been amazing and I absolutely will be ordering more in the future. I appreciated the open honestly with me about the products so much! Thank you!!
I have been very unhealthy for a little over a year with a Staph infection gone wild. This tincture plus a couple others from this site very raly saved my life!
I have had chronic eczema for almost 40 years. This is one of the VERY few products that my skin will not only tolerate but react well to. It soothes my flared skin very quickly
Effective clearing out mucus.
I know it's silly to get excited over buying new pads, but I definitely am smitten adding more to my stock pile! The fabric is always a high quality, really soft fabric.
Bought this for my husband and he is thrilled with the quality of this product and timely shipping- will be buying again!
I've been wanting to get more pads from Jessie, and tried out the panty liners this time. The fabric is soo soft!! I absolutely love them. I am glad I got more 8" than 6". If you're unsure, I recommend going for the 8 inch. I love the free gifts as well, thank you so much, Jessie!
I started using these last year and they are amazing! I can use them I. The kitchen, the bathroom, living room, everywhere! Any place I used paper towels, these have replaced that! So happy!
I love my apron! So soft and great quality! This apron will last forever!
I bought two of these! Love the random prints and the great price! Helped to finish out my cloth pad stash!
I use these for travel bags for kids, for traveling for me, holding cloth pads…so many uses for these bags! I also love how each one looks different!
I love these towels! Just as amazing as the regular unpapered towels, but with great designs! I love all the ones I’ve purchased!
Loved the products
