Corn (Zea mays), also known as maize, is a large grain plant grown worldwide. Corn silk is the yellowish thread-like strands from the female flower of maize. It is a waste material from corn cultivation and is available abundantly. It has been consumed as a therapeutic remedy for a long time in Asia to treat cystitis, edema, kidney stones, diuretic, prostate disorder, urinary infections, bedwetting, and obesity. Other beneficial properties include anti-fatigue activity, anti-depressant activity, anti-oxidant activity, and protection against radiation and nephrotoxicity. Additionally, it is reported in a scientific research study that extracts from corn silk showed anti-glycation activity.
