Corn Silk Tea is a truly unique brew, crafted from corn on the cob's silk strands. With a smooth and savory flavor, this tea makes a special addition to any tea collection.
As corn silk contains various pharmacologically-active compounds that invite use in folk medicine remedies, Corn Silk Tea has the power to heal specific challenges affecting certain bodily systems. Loaded with phytosterols, a group of naturally occurring compounds found in plant cell membranes, research suggests that corn silk can be a powerful healing herb. Our Corn Silk Tea brews into a gentle infusion that is easy to drink.
What is Cornsilk?
Corn is one of the most significant of the North American grains, and historically a food staple of numerous Native American tribes. However, few people know that these tribes did not only harvest corn to eat the kernels, but they also saved the corn silk, or stigmas to brew as an herbal tea. Few people are aware of the remarkable ways that corn's long silks at the tip of the “ear” benefit common ailments. When used medicinally, a fascinating transformation occurs from initial harvesting of the fresh yellow silks. As the crop dries, it becomes curly and brown, before sometimes being made into a powder.
How to make Corn Silk Tea
A good boil is recommended, and decent steep. Try experimenting with other teas to enhance the benefits, such as: St. John's Wort Tea, and Lemon Balm Tea.
