Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Just came across this so I thought you all might find it interesting. Product Name: CORNSILK Maize cobs are a familiar part of the diet in Central America and are credited with some ability to relieve bladder discomfort. The remains of the flowers found at the end of the cob are called Cornsilk and have long been used in America and Europe for urinary and bladder infections. Cornsilk has a high potassium content resulting in a diuretic action increasing urine production. The mucilage is thought to contribute to its soothing activity within the kidneys and urinary tract as well as improving bile flow through the bile ducts. Chinese research indicates Cornsilk tends to reduce blood pressure and blood clotting. Cornsilk may be prescribed for almost any problem affecting the urinary tract. It has a beneficial effect on the kidneys, considered to reduce the formation of kidney stones whilst reducing irritation to the bladder, improving urine flow. It is useful for chronic cystitis, prostate enlargement and where a soothing or relaxing action is required on the lining of the urinary tubules, It is thought to combine with:1. Echinacea and Buchu for cystitis.2. Parsley Piert for kidney stones.3. Saw Palmetto for enlarged prostate.4. Dandelion for increased urine production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Suzi, This is good info...BTW-the company I bought mine from is renowned for using only top quality (re the yellow part only)...or so they say, as did the herbologist who sold it to me. It did the job very well, but who knows the brown part might have done just as well too. Thanks, Gaye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 What do you mean it seems to have retained moisture.... did you dry the peels first before you ground them..? I cut mine into pieces... and either lay out in the sun or lay in the stove (I have gas stove so it is always a tad warm)... or dehydrate... So tell me what you did ... how big were the pieces... and were the peels rock hard when they were done drying? Suzinkbaker2001 <nkbaker2001 wrote: Thanks Erin and Mars for your replies. While I'm on the subject of storing things, I dried some lemon peel, but it seems to retain some moisture, even dried. So I've been storing that in the frig, cause I wasn't sure if I could closet store that, since it seemed like it had a little moisture. Maybe I didn't get it dry enough, but it seemed pretty dry. So maybe someone with lemon peel experience, can shed some light on this.Thanks always,Kathe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Hi Kathe: Lemon and orange peels are best grated (fine size - 1/8 hole size on a grater)if one is to dry and store them.. It will dry in 1 to 2 days.. the grated peels will feel hard and dry to the touch when dry.. you can then store it as such or power it in the blender to use in formulas..
