Introduction:
Corn silk can increase the excretion of oxides and inhibit the excretion of proteins. Its diuretic effect is extrarenal, so it has a certain curative effect on edema caused by various factors. Although it can be used to treat some chronic nephritis or nephrotic syndrome, its medicinal effect is not very strong. It is mainly used for diuresis and edema, including some dysuria. Secondly, corn silk has a certain regulating effect on blood pressure and has a dilating effect on peripheral blood vessels. It is clinically used to treat edema and hypertension caused by nephritis, and the curative effect is more obvious. Long-term use of corn silk soaked in water instead of tea can play a role in regulating blood pressure and also have a certain effect on blood sugar. Plants containing saponins such as corn silk can reduce serum cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Of course, this is only a small part of its effect, that is to say, it cannot be used to completely replace hypoglycemic drugs, but it can be taken at the same time as hypoglycemic drugs. may have better results.
Functions:
Increase the excretion of chloride. The diuretic effect is mainly outside of the kidney, to the kidney function is very weak;
It has a choleretic effect, increase bile secretion and promote bile excretion, can reduce organic and impurity in bile;
Can accelerate the process of blood coagulation, increase blood levels of thrombin increased platelet count;
Lowering blood pressure and blood glucose effect, the fermentation preparation of corn stigma has a very significant reduction in blood sugar to rabbit.
