Why people make this tea
Corn silk — the fine threads bundled inside a fresh ear of corn — is one of those ingredients Nourilo loves: inexpensive, easy to find, and genuinely multi-purpose. Alone, corn silk tea is traditionally associated with supporting urinary health (reducing burning, frequency and discomfort), easing water retention, supporting healthy blood sugar and blood pressure, and even aiding weight management. Paired with fresh cogongrass root (a cooling, blood-calming herb used throughout southern Chinese cooking), the combination becomes more potent in its traditional role of clearing heat-dampness and supporting kidney-urinary function. The brew is naturally clean and slightly sweet — you will not taste any bitterness. It makes a sensible daily drink for those with high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular concerns or urinary discomfort, and is popular as a general summer wellness tea.
