Cornsilk refers to the hair-like threads found on top of the ears of corn 🌽 and beneath cornhusks. It is rich in flavonoids and is helpful in relieving bladder control symptoms by reducing inflammation and protecting the bladder wall against irritation.
Flavonoids are a group of plant metabolites thought to provide health benefits through cell signaling pathways and antioxidant effects. These molecules are found in a variety of fruits and vegetables.
TESTIMONIES
By BittersweetRain: “I saw corn silk capsules listed here somewhere (on the IC Patient Support Forum) as a help for flares, so I went to the health food store and bought some. Oh my gosh, I can’t believe the relief I am getting. The instructions on the bottle say I can take 3 a day. So I take one in the a.m., one after lunch and one at night. They are the most effective thing I have used so far in stopping the pain and burning. Does anyone know if there are any drawbacks with this stuff? Can I use it indefinitely? I sure hope so! :woohoo:”
By Trying2Cope: “I tried corn silk after reading about it on this board (on the IC Patient Support Forum). It gives me immediate relief from flares and the burning in my urethra. Best $5 I ever spent.”
