Frequently Asked Questions

How does Cornsilk work compared to other diuretics? Unlike "stimulating" diuretics that can sometimes irritate the kidneys, cornsilk is a "soothing" diuretic. It contains mucilage, which provides a protective coating to the urinary lining while still encouraging fluid elimination.

What does it taste like? The tincture has a mild, slightly sweet, and earthy flavor, though the organic alcohol base provides a characteristic sharpness that is minimized when diluted in water.

Is this the same as the silk found on corn on the cob? Yes, these are the fine, thread-like strands found under the husk of the corn ear. For medicinal purposes, St. Francis Herb Farm uses certified organic silk harvested at the peak of its active constituent levels.

Cautions

Do not use this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Consult a healthcare practitioner if symptoms worsen or persist. Avoid use if you have a known allergy to corn or corn products. Individuals with heart or kidney disorders should consult a professional before use due to the diuretic nature of the herb. Discontinue use if hypersensitivity or an allergic reaction occurs. Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool, dry place.
