Speaking of corn stigma, corn stigma is a kind of physical food. Let's talk about one more important thing first. Although it also contains certain nutrients, although it looks nutritious, it is still a kind of food after all. There is a simpler way, that is, when picking and cleaning corn, don't pick it, then boil it in water and finally drink corn juice. In traditional Chinese medicine, corn stigma is usually used with other medicinal materials, such as dandelion or rose. Usually, the corn stigma used as a medicinal material is dried before use, because the dosage of corn stigma is stipulated in the prescription.

The decoction of corn stigma (dried corn stigma) can dilate peripheral blood vessels to some extent if formaldehyde is injected, so it may have the potential effect of dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. Corn silk can accelerate the process of blood coagulation, which we should have experienced when we were young. If our hands are cut, we will find some herbs to bite them with our mouths and apply them to the wound to stop the bleeding quickly. In fact, corn stigma also has this effect. Corn silk tea can help reduce blood sugar and cholesterol content, which is more suitable for friends with hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. Even some obese friends can eat more corn beard tea in their daily lives, which helps to lose weight to some extent.

Chinese medicine believes that no matter what medicinal materials need compatibility, no single medicinal material can be used to treat diseases. Corn silk has the function of lowering blood pressure and diuresis, which does not mean that drinking corn silk water alone can cure the disease. It can only be said that it has medicinal value, which must be clarified. Cut off the corn beard, throw away the black part on it, then clean it, then clean the wax gourd skin (without wax gourd meat), cut it into strips, cook it in the teapot for about 20 minutes, and you can drink it. Although soaking corn silk in water is harmless to human body, it can't be used on an empty stomach, which is easy to lower blood sugar. If you have a slight cough, you can drink it with corn stigma soaked in water.
