Do you know that fresh corn can help you? Many people remove the hair (or silk as it is otherwise known), of sweet corn when they are cooking and it is really a waste. Whenever I buy fresh corn I boil it with the hair and drink the water like tea. Both the hair and corn can be eaten - it is all very yummy! Actually the hair is considered important in Chinese medicine.
In Chinese medicine it is used to treat the kidney and liver system. It is has the health benefit of treating the urinary system as it reduces heat from the body. It has been used to treat urinary and kidney infections, it reduces swelling, lowers blood pressure and prevents gall stones. It has been reported by research that it has the function to lower blood sugar and cholesterol.
