Cornsilk (Zea Mays Stigma)

The urinary tract's best friend — gentle kidney support, bladder health, and fluid balance.

Cornsilk (Zea mays stigma) — the fine silky threads of the maize plant — has been used across Native American, Caribbean, and Chinese herbal traditions for centuries as one of the most effective and gentle urinary tract tonics available. Rich in flavonoids, saponins, and potassium, it soothes the bladder lining, promotes healthy urine flow, and supports kidney function without harsh diuretic effects.
