Corn Silk can be used to help alleviate symptoms that go along with the following conditions: bedwetting, cystitis, prostatitis, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, gout and hyperglycemia. (More details on those below.) Itâs also a natural source of vitamin K and potassium.
The corn silk growing out of the ear is the female part of a corn plant, and the tassel growing out the top of the corn stalk is the male part. The corn silk is the stigma and style of the female part of the corn. The stigma is the sticky end of the silk where pollen attaches. The style is the tube from the stigma to the ovary, where the embryo (kernel) forms on the fruitcase (cob). Every ovary (a potential kernel) has its own strand of corn silk.
