Cornsilk Benefits For Bladder and Urinary Problems
Corn was highly valued by the native peoples across the Americas
and their dependence on corn created many “Corn Mother” creation myths
and folklore.
First grown about 5,000 years ago
in Mexico, corn became the most important food crop in Central and
North America. It was sacred to Native Americans and not only provided
food and medicine but also symbolized sacred wisdom and their
relationship with the divine. It represented generations of ancestors
carefully choosing the best. The Maya even based their calendar on the
planting of the cornfield.
Among the amazing
benefits corn offered to Native Americans, the gift of medicine was
cherished. Corn silk tea has a long history as a sacred and beneficial
medicine. Its benefits include:
Urinary issues
such as bladder infections, prostate issues, kidney stones, and
bedwetting. It is also used to treat congestive heart failure, diabetes,
high blood pressure, high pressure in the eye, fatigue, obesity, and
high cholesterol levels.
