Cornsilk Loose Tea- Certified Organic

Hand-Selected by Qualified Herbal Naturopath | 100% Certified Organic | Fast Australia-Wide Shipping

Harvested from the fine, golden-thread stigmas tucked beneath the husks of maize ears, Cornsilk (Zea mays) has a long history of traditional use across Mesoamerica, Native American medicine, and classical Western herbalism. Known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Yu Mi Xu, it was treasured as a gentle, non-irritating botanical for clearing heat and moving dampness. Abundant in soothing plant mucilage, natural potassium, silica, and flavonoids, Cornsilk is celebrated by herbalists as one of the gentlest, most soothing aquaretics—ideal for coating delicate urinary membranes and restoring fluid harmony.

TASTE & ENERGETICS

• Taste: Sweet, mild, straw-like, faintly corn-flavored
• Energetics: Cooling, moistening, soothing, gentle demulcent

TRADITIONALLY USED FOR:

• Urinary Tract Soothing: Coating and calming irritated, sensitive mucous membranes throughout the bladder, urethra, and urinary passages.
• Gentle Fluid Clearance: Encouraging smooth, natural urine elimination without harsh irritation or depleting essential electrolytes.
• Prostate & Bladder Comfort: Easing mild urinary drag, frequency, and discomfort held in the lower pelvic region.
• Systemic Cooling & Soothing: Soothing internal heat and dryness while providing gentle metabolic fluid support.

BREWING & PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Infusion (Soothing Tea): Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried Cornsilk threads to 1 cup of freshly boiled water. Cover tightly with a saucer (to retain delicate volatile constituents) and steep for 10–12 minutes. Strain and sip warm up to 3 times daily.
• Soothing Bladder Brew: Drink freely throughout the day alongside ample water to maintain clear, comfortable urinary flow.
