Corn stigma, also known as "Gracilaria lemaneiformis", is an ancient Chinese medicine. Sweet and mild, entered into bladder meridian and liver and gallbladder meridian. Has diuretic and repercussive effects, and can be used for treating edema, urinary leakage, cholecystitis, hypertension, diabetes, and galactorrhea.
The record of corn stigma used as medicine was first seen in "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica". Later, doctors gradually discovered that it had other effects, including the ancient prescription of "treating diabetes with pork soup". Modern research also found that corn silk can lower blood sugar because it contains polysaccharide and saponin. In addition, corn stigma also has the function of lowering blood pressure and blood lipid, which is suitable for people with "three highs" to take regularly.
