Corn silk powder has diuretic, repercussive, calming liver, promoting gallbladder function, lowering blood pressure and stopping bleeding, and can be used for treating acute and chronic nephritis, prostatitis, edema, acute cholecystitis, biliary sclerosis and hypertension. The human body is like a bustling city, and all organs are public facilities running in this city. The five elements of the system work together to maintain the prosperity of this big city. In the city, we may be satisfied with watching the busy shopping malls and colorful night scenes, and few people will pay attention to the drainage channels under our feet. As long as it rains heavily and floods, we suddenly find out why the sewer in front of our house is blocked, and then we realize that we need to clear it quickly. So is the human body. Usually we don't care too much about our renal water system, that is, the sewer of the human body. Because the renal water system is very compensatory, even if there is a problem, we will not notice it. Many people only wait until the renal water system lights up an irreversible red light, and then regret it. I once met a mother and daughter. My mother took her daughter to see a doctor. Her daughter is in her twenties, but her face is really ugly. The test results came out. What they never expected was that their daughter had advanced uremia and was almost hopeless. In fact, the occurrence and development of uremia take many years. I leaned down and asked the crying mother and daughter why they didn't come earlier. They say the symptoms are never very serious, but sometimes they are good. Some things are too late to regret. The renal water system is like this. Maintenance depends on usual efforts. Otherwise, once it collapses, the disease will burst its banks, and even if it saves lives, it will be a lifelong disease. It is difficult for kidney patients to recover if they don't leave the root of the disease. Kidney and bladder are the main urinary organs. Protect them, and the sewer of human body will be unimpeded. Chinese medicine says: "Kidney is the foundation of congenital." Kidney is the root of yin and yang of human viscera and the source of life. The kidney mainly has the function of gasification and regulates the balance of water metabolism, so the kidney is also called "water dirty". The function of urine storage and urination of bladder also depends on the rise and fall of kidney qi. Kidney qi is sufficient, and urine can be generated normally. In our food, what is often discarded by everyone is the most useful. Corn silk is an example, which has an excellent function of dredging human sewers. Many friends like to eat corn, while eating it, they tear off the corn whiskers and throw them away, but they don't know what a pity it is to throw away the good medicine for treating diseases like this. Corn silk, also known as "Gracilaria lemaneiformis" in Chinese medicine, is flat in nature, sweet and light in taste, enters the liver, kidney and bladder meridian, and has the functions of diuresis and detumescence, calming the liver and gallbladder, lowering blood pressure and stopping bleeding. It is mainly used to treat acute and chronic nephritis, edema, acute cholecystitis, strong biliary tract and hypertension. The kidney is an organ for detoxifying and circulating the waste water in the body. Corn must have diuretic effect, which can increase the discharge of chloride. Although it is not as fast as the western medicine "furosemide", the effect is more lasting than "furosemide". Take 50g of dry corn stigma, add 600ml of warm water, decoct with slow fire for 20-30min to obtain 300-400ml of liquid medicine, filter and take orally for treating chronic nephritis, once or several times a day. Clinical trials show that one method has no toxic and side effects after long-term use, and the renal function of both experimenters has improved a lot, and the original edema has also been alleviated or alleviated, and all biochemical indexes tend to be normal. For chronic prostatitis common in elderly men, it is also advisable to take 6 grams of corn stigma and 0/0 gram of purslane/kloc-and make tea with boiling water, taking two doses every day, which is beneficial to regular drinking. The climate in the south is hot and humid. Many people like to drink "asparagus tea", that is, put corn with whiskers in a pot and pour out the soup. This is "asparagus tea". It not only tastes sweet, but also has a wide range of preventive and health care uses. People with hyperlipidemia, hypertension and hyperglycemia often drink it, which can reduce blood fat, blood pressure and blood sugar. It's safer than taking medicine and won't rebound. If hypertension causes dizziness, you can also take 50 grams of corn silk and 0/0 grams of chrysanthemum, decoct once a day and drink it in the morning and evening. Diabetes is thirsty and drinks more; If the symptoms of polyuria are serious, you can also use 50 grams of corn stigma and fresh water spinach 150 grams to decoct. Corn silk has always been good at calming the heart and benefiting qi, which can not only dredge the renal water system and human blood vessels, but also have a definite effect on mastitis caused by milk retention or milk deposition in pregnant women. "Southern Yunnan Herbs" records that corn silk: "Wide intestines and lower qi. Treat women's breast knot, breast obstruction, redness and pain, chills and fever, headache and physical drowsiness. " Postpartum women can use 50 grams of corn stigma, soak it in water for 20 minutes, then decoct it with water to get juice, which is 1 day, and take it orally twice in the morning and evening; When taking it, you can add 20 grams of brown sugar every time, so you don't have to worry about postpartum abdominal cramps and breast milk.
