Corn is a plant that was believed to be first cultivated by the Aztecs and Mayans
Anyone who has ever prepared an ear of fresh corn for dinner may be familiar with the thin thread like strands that is typically pulled off with the husk of the corn. Most of the time, these strands, also known as corn silk, are thrown away as many people do not realize that they actually have a use.

It is a little known fact that corn silk tea can actually be prepared and made into a beneficial tea which can be used for a variety of reasons.
This particular tea has actually been used by Native Americans as an herbal remedy since 5000 B.C. Our research today has shown us that they were right to have faith in such an unlikely remedy as corn silk tea is incredibly rich in many disease fighting antioxidants and polyphenols. Corn silk is also rich in vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin K, C, and potassium as well.
