Corn Silk
Corn silk is useful in any kind of urinary irritation or disorder, as it both soothes and tones the urinary tract at the same time. It has been traditionally used for other ailments. Although gentle enough to use for kidney problems in children, corn silk may also often help kidney stones when nothing else will work. For infections of the urinary tract, corn silk may be best combined with Uva Ursi. Corn silk, being both gentle and tonifying, may be a great herb to use regularly to maintain urinary health.
Preparation
1-2 tsp/cup. Steep covered 10 minutes. Drink 3 times daily. Sweeten if desired.
