Corn
Corn
Corn, also known as Maize, is one of the most popular cereal grains in the world. It contains various nutrients and phytochemicals (such as carotenoids and phytosterols) that play a very important role in managing various diseases. Corn flour is also very beneficial for health as it contains important B vitamins, iron, potassium, magnesium and other nutrients. Apart from Corn, Corn silk (which are long strands attached to an ear of corn) is also used for medicinal purposes.
Corn helps in managing weight due to the presence of dietary fibers. It maintains the levels of blood sugar by enhancing insulin secretion due to its blood sugar-lowering property. It helps in reducing pain and inflammation related to rheumatoid arthritis due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Corn silk tea prepared by boiling corn silk in water is useful for bladder problems. Drinking Corn silk tea increases the production of urine and helps in the easy removal of kidney stones due to its diuretic activity. This is also useful for managing diabetes and blood pressure-related problems.
Diabetic patients are advised to consult a physician before taking Corn silk tea as it might cause too much lowering of blood sugar due to its blood sugar-lowering property. It might also cause allergies like skin rash and irritation among hypersensitive individuals[2][11][12].

Benefits of Corn
Modern Science View
Enough scientific evidence is not available to support the role of Corn in Bedwetting. However, Corn silk might help prevent urinary infections (which may be a cause of bedwetting) due to its antibacterial property[2][16].
Modern Science View
Corn tea (prepared by soaking corn silk) is beneficial in preventing Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) as it has antiinflammatory and antibacterial properties. It helps to reduce inflammation and prevents the bacteria from attaching to the surface of the urinary tract. It also inhibits the growth and multiplication of the bacteria in the urinary tract[3][16].
Ayurvedic View
Bladder or Urinary tract infection is described under the broad term of Mutrakcchra in Ayurveda. Mutra means ooze, and krichra means painful. Thus, dysuria and painful urination are called Mutrakcchra. In the case of bladder or urinary tract infection, Corn tea (prepared by Corn silk) helps to control burning sensation because of its Mutral (diuretic) effect. It increases urine flow and reduces the symptoms of bladder infection like burning sensation during urination.
Tips for making Corn tea.
1. Take dry or fresh Corn silk.
2. Mix them in water.
3. Let it boil for 5-10 minutes and leave it for a few minutes.
4. The mixture will turn into a brown-hued caramel-like liquid.
5. Strain it and have it either cold or warm.
6. You can also add lime juice or honey if you want to change its flavor.
7. Have it twice a day (or as directed by the physician) to get rid of the symptoms of bladder infections.

Corn is beneficial in managing certain Kidney problems like kidney stones due to its diuretic property. Drinking Corn tea prepared by soaking Corn silk increases the production of urine and might promote the easy removal of kidney stones[5][6].
Ayurvedic View
Urolithiasis or kidney stone is the stone formed in the urinary tract. According to Ayurveda, it is considered as Mutrashmari. Mutrashmari (renal calculi) is a disease of Vata-Kapha origin which causes Sanga (obstruction) in the Mutravaha Srotas (urinary system). Urinary stones are classified based on doshas as Vata, Pitta, Kapha, and treatment is given accordingly. Corn silk tea helps to remove the renal stone by increasing urinary flow. This is because of its Mutral (diuretic) nature.

Yes, Corn when taken in raw form can give you gas. Most food items which contain carbohydrates and starch can be a leading cause of gas. Whereas, fats and proteins cause little gas (although certain proteins may intensify the odor of gas)[21]. Corn similar to other starchy food items like potatoes, noodles and wheat produces gas as they are broken down in the large intestine[21]. If you want to include corn in your diet then you can use corn flour or make tea out of the Corn silk (long strands attached to an ear of corn).
