Numerous studies have claimed the Antioxidant potential of maize silk and its medical uses as Diuretic agents, for lowering blood sugar levels, as an Antifatigue agent, and as an Antidepressant. Urinary tract issues are treated with teas and Corn Silk supplements. This comprehensive Article on health potential of Corn Silk will be provide readers a throughout understanding of maize silk's potential benefits withs its pharmacological effects on health.
