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.
To make the tea: Cut off the tips of the corn and carefully remove the husks. Gently remove the silk from the ears. You can use fresh corn silk for this or dry it for future use. Bring water to a boil, then add the corn silk and let it steep for 10-20 minutes.
