After washing the corn stigma, put it in a pot and fry it with low fire. The boiled corn stigma water can be used to make tea and has a special taste. Is the function of corn stigma only to make tea? In fact, corn silk is a good medicine, and the health care effect is very good. Chinese medicine calls corn beard Gracilaria lemaneiformis, which has the functions of diuresis, detumescence, calming the liver and benefiting gallbladder.

One: lose weight, diuretic and lipid-lowering.

Corn silk can help to eliminate edema, not only that, it can also help people lose weight, diuresis and lipid-lowering, and it is suitable for some patients with obesity and edema.

Two: lower blood pressure and blood sugar.

Corn silk contains a lot of nutrients such as potassium nitrate, vitamin K and sitosterol, which helps to lower blood pressure and blood sugar, and the effect is not bad. In summer, you can often cook corn at home and add some corn whiskers to make the best use of it.

Three: benefit the gallbladder

Drinking corn stigma water can help bile secretion, can be used as a cholagogic drug, and has a good effect on the adjuvant treatment of gallstones and cholecystitis. Corn silk is sweet and flat, which has the effect of calming the liver and benefiting the gallbladder.

1: Drinking corn beard often in summer can help Liang Yu relieve summer heat, but because of its diuretic effect, it should not be used as an option to replenish water after exercise.

2. Although corn silk has no side effects, it is not recommended to drink it for a long time in life, and some physical discomfort may occur.

Don't eat corn stigma when boiling water, which is not a suitable choice for most people.

Corn silk is the waste of food processing and has no nutritional value. Those so-called benefits are just analogies of traditional Chinese medicine thinking, and it is sheer nonsense to say that any fine hole can be opened.

People who believe in TCM always say that TCM has a history of thousands of years and is based on Huangdi Neijing. But corn is the grain of the New World, which was introduced to China in Ming and Qing Dynasties, not to mention the Emperor's Internal Classic written by Han people. Those Chinese medicine practitioners in Tang and Song Dynasties don't know what corn is. Now they are talking about the medicinal value of corn silk. Isn't this embarrassing?

The various uses and benefits of corn stigma can be summarized in one word: nonsense.

The only advantage of drinking corn stigma water is that you are drunk. If you can't drink enough pure water and have to soak things in the water, it makes sense to drink corn silk water, which is the same as drinking other messy things to soak in water and plays a psychological role. Of all the "benefits" of drinking corn stigma water, the only meaningful one is diuresis, because you drink enough water, which is the function of water and has nothing to do with corn stigma.

If you must soak in water, why not drink tea? Tea is much better than corn stigma water or other messy water. There is caffeine in tea, only coffee's 1/5, but it can also play a refreshing role.

Don't believe anything people here say, or you will make up some other soaking water tomorrow, and you will follow suit. Are you tired?

Corn must have diuretic, antihypertensive, cholagogic, hemostatic and other health functions. Although the diuretic effect of its decoction is not as fast as that of western medicine, its effect is relatively lasting.

Corn silk corn silk tea refers to a kind of tea beverage made of corn silk, which has the functions of diuresis, edema elimination and weight loss. Soaking corn silk in water has the following effects:

1, preventing stones

Soaking corn stigma in water can effectively remove cholesterol from human blood, prevent the occurrence of lithiasis, clear liver and benefit gallbladder, promote the excretion of impurities in the body and reduce its viscosity.

2. Prevention of hyperglycemia

Corn silk, also known as "Gracilaria lemaneiformis", contains a lot of nutrients and medicinal substances, such as tartaric acid, malic acid, picroside, polysaccharide, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol and so on. Soaking corn stigma in water can effectively promote blood circulation, increase vascular elasticity and accelerate sodium excretion in the body. Hypoglycemic components can promote insulin secretion, and soaking in water can prevent hyperglycemia.

3. Prevention of kidney diseases

Corn beard soaked in water has the effect of diuresis and detumescence, can effectively improve renal function, reduce the occurrence of body burden, effectively prevent chronic nephritis blisters, and has a very good therapeutic effect on body edema. In addition, it also has the function of reducing or completely eliminating urinary protein and promoting health.

Corn silk is a kind of medicinal material without side effects, which will not cause harm to human body, but some people are not suitable for eating. For example, for people with hypoglycemia, corn must have a hypoglycemic effect. People with hypoglycemia must soak in water to eat corn, which will lower blood sugar and make them dizzy and weak. Therefore, people with hypoglycemia had better not eat it.

Corn must have the effect of expelling water from the body and promoting diuresis, so eating it will increase urine output. Then people who have frequent urination and urgency are prone to an increase in urine volume, and they can't control the discharge of urine, and there may be cases where they can't catch up with the toilet.

Corn silk water has diuretic effect, although it also contains more minerals, but the minerals discharged by its diuretic effect are much higher than those supplemented by drinking corn silk water, so it can improve vascular osmotic pressure and lower blood pressure, so people with low blood pressure should not eat corn silk, which will lead to lower blood pressure and dizziness.

The transmission of neurotransmitters is closely related to potassium ions. Once potassium is lacking, the transmission of neurotransmitters will be blocked, which will affect mood, fatigue, dizziness, hand and foot cramps and limb weakness. Corn silk water will increase urine volume, and potassium ions in the body will also be excreted with urine. Therefore, people who lack potassium will drink corn silk water, which will aggravate the phenomenon of potassium deficiency, so it is not recommended to eat it.

Hemostasis and coagulation

The effective components in corn stigma can promote the coagulation of human platelets, increase the number of platelets, and also play an anti-hemolysis role, which can be used for hemostasis and coagulation during hemostasis.

Clearing heat and relieving summer heat

Boiled water of corn beard has the functions of relieving summer heat, clearing heat and diuresis. Replenishing water can clear away heat, and expelling water from the body can also expel hot and dry gas from the body. Drinking in summer has the effect of clearing heat and relieving summer heat, and drinking in autumn has the effect of clearing fire and removing heat.

Diuresis and edema

Corn beard has diuretic effect, which can promote the discharge of chloride and water in the body and has diuretic effect; Reducing the water in the tissue can remove edema in the body, so corn must have the effect of diuresis and edema removal.

Reduce blood sugar and blood lipid

Corn silk can reduce the blood sugar content and cholesterol content, so it has the function of lowering blood sugar and blood fat, and is suitable for people with hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.

Promote hepatobiliary health

Drinking water soaked in corn stigma can promote bile excretion, reduce bile concentration, calm the liver and promote liver health.

Corn silk is the hair on the corn head, and its functions and functions mainly include:

1. Stigma Maydis is sweet, light and flat. It enters the liver, kidney, gallbladder and bladder meridian, and has the functions of diuresis and detumescence, calming the liver and benefiting gallbladder. It is mainly used to treat acute and chronic nephritis, edema, acute cholecystitis, gallstones and hypertension. Modern pharmacological research shows that corn silk contains a lot of potassium nitrate, vitamin K, sitosterol, stigmasterol and a volatile alkaloid.

2. Diuresis, eat corn must be soaked in water to drink, has a good diuretic and detumescence effect, can improve renal function, and also has a good effect on edema patients.

3. cholagogic, corn beard can promote bile secretion and excretion, purify bile, reduce bile viscosity and bilirubin content, which is of great benefit to patients with cholecystitis and gallstones.

4. lower blood sugar. Drinking corn stigma water for diabetic patients has an auxiliary therapeutic effect, but it can't replace hypoglycemic drugs.

5. Stop diarrhea and drink corn silk water, which can also relieve diarrhea caused by indigestion.

Corn silk has no side effects, can be safely eaten, and is of great benefit to human body.

Analogy is an important way of thinking in TCM.

The stigma surface of corn is a line, which is actually the pistil of corn. Pollen can pass through the pistil, so the stigma of corn is actually tubular. Chinese medicine believes that drugs with fine pores can dredge meridians, such as Akebia stem, Spatholobus stem, and corn stigma are no exception. Moreover, after corn pollination, the pollen is downward, which makes it have the temperament of downward flow, which can promote diuresis and detumescence and promote bile excretion.

Simply put, the function of corn stigma can be summarized as two words: "harmony and health".

Corn is not a native crop in China, so there is no stigma in most Chinese medicines, and there is relatively little research on it in Chinese medicines. Corn silk was recorded for the first time in the herbal medicine of southern Yunnan in Ming Dynasty, but it was not widely used in Ming and Qing Dynasties. In recent years, it seems that this medicine has been used more and more. It is considered that it is sweet in taste and flat in nature, and has the functions of diuresis, detumescence, lowering blood pressure, hemostasis and cholagogue, and can treat many diseases.

For example, Mr. Yue Meizhong treats children with chronic nephritis, and thinks that all boys and girls under 65,438+0.5 years old can get better or be cured as long as they take corn silk for a long time. Let's analyze why corn silk has these functions.

There are a lot of tubular structures in the kidney, which are very fine. In order to enter the subtle place, the medicine gas should also be fine, which is related to the shape and quality of the medicine. The medicine is coarse and the gas is coarse. Medicine is refined, and its qi is also refined. It is very suitable to use the slender tubular shape of corn stigma to remove the stagnation of subtleties.

It is not easy to find other drugs that the ancients can find to replace this medicine. Akebia Akebia and Ji Fang have fine pores, but their shapes are thicker, which is more suitable for dredging large cavities. And they are more angry and the medicine is more dangerous. Children nephritis is more suitable for mild drugs such as corn stigma.

Stigma Maydis can also be used to treat hypertension, because it can dredge blood vessels, especially small-diameter blood vessels, which is conducive to descending, which is also one of the reasons for lowering blood pressure.

To sum up, the indications of corn stigma are relatively wide, such as edema, urinary leakage, jaundice, cholecystitis, gallstones, hypertension, diabetes, and milk obstruction.

Corn must have diuretic, antihypertensive and hemostatic effects. Not as fast as western medicine, but the effect is still lasting. It has a good therapeutic effect on nephritis and hepatitis, and can also reduce blood fat, blood pressure and blood sugar, and has the effects of cooling blood, purging heat and reducing swelling.

First, the benefits of drinking corn silk water:

1. Diuretic and detumescent corn beard is sweet, light and flat, and belongs to kidney, liver and gallbladder meridians. It has diuretic effect on human body and can increase the discharge of chloride, while the diuretic effect of corn stigma is outside the night, so it has certain effect on edema caused by various reasons, and can be used to treat chronic nephritis and nephrotic syndrome, but its effect is limited.

2. Hypotensive, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic corn definitely has a certain dilating effect on peripheral blood vessels, so it can be used to lower blood pressure. Corn silk contains many beneficial components, among which saponins, flavonoids and chromium have hypoglycemic effect. 3. Bile-promoting corn beard can promote bile secretion and excretion and reduce organic matter and residues in bile, so it can be used as a cholagogic drug for chronic cholecystitis without complications or cholangitis with bile discharge disorder. It can also be used to treat jaundice caused by hepatitis.

4. Hemostatic corn must be able to accelerate blood coagulation, increase the number of platelets and resist hemolysis, so it can be used as a hemostatic and diuretic for urinary calculi and bladder calculi, and can also be used for acute hemolytic anemia.

5. Anti-allergic corn must have anti-allergic effect and can be used to treat asthma, urticaria and allergic rhinitis.

6. Appetizing For patients with loss of appetite after surgery, chemotherapy and serious illness, the appetizing effect of soaking corn in water or cooking rice porridge is very good. It's hot every day in summer, and a cup of corn silk tea can also be appetizing.

7. Anti-diarrhea corn must be soaked in water to stop diarrhea. If it is diarrhea caused by indigestion, especially watery diarrhea, you can try this recipe. Second, the corn must be soaked in water to pay attention to the problem:

1, corn must have the effect of lowering blood sugar and blood pressure. If you often have hypoglycemia or hypotension, please do not take it.

2. Drinking corn beard water will increase urine output. If drinking water is not replenished in time at this time, it will lead to the rapid loss of body fluids.

3. Pay attention to the dosage when taking corn beard tea. Fresh corn must not exceed 20g a day; Sun-dried corn stigma, no more than 8 grams a day.
