Cornsilk
Zea mays. 
 
Cornsilk supports the urinary tract by acting as a diuretic, soothing irritation, and potentially preventing kidney stones. 
 
It increases urine production, which helps flush out the urinary system and can relieve inflammation associated with infections or irritation. 
 
Additionally, it's traditionally used to ease symptoms of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and may help with kidney stone discomfort. 
 
Diuretic Properties:
Cornsilk acts as a diuretic, meaning it increases urine production. This increased urination helps flush out the urinary tract, potentially preventing the buildup of bacteria that can lead to infections and helping to eliminate waste products like uric acid, which can contribute to kidney stones. 
Soothing and Anti-inflammatory:
It's believed that cornsilk can soothe and relax the lining of the bladder and urinary tubules, which can help reduce irritation and inflammation associated with UTIs or other urinary issues. 
Kidney Stone Support:
Cornsilk's diuretic and soothing properties may also help in preventing the formation of kidney stones and alleviating some of the symptoms of existing stones. 
Traditional Use:
Cornsilk has a long history of use in traditional medicine for various urinary problems, including UTIs, bladder infections, and kidney issues.
