As I am studying for a BSc (Hons) @lincolncollegeuk to train as a clinical herbalist. Getting a chance to wander into @napiers1860 whilst in Edinburgh was an absolute joy.! Great to chat with staff and having fun trying to pronounce all the botanical names for the herbs 🌿 Lovely to be able to get what I needed, though I could have bought half the shop! Adding all these lovely tinctures to my collection of herbs and essential oils. #tinctures #herbalism #studentherbalist #undergrad #herbs #woodbetony #stjohnswort #vervain #cornsilk #ribwortplantain #ladysmantle #limeflowers #yarrow #agrimony #naturalhealth #clinicalherbalistintraining #Edinburgh #hometown (at Napiers Edinburgh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkLWtZVMnUC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tried making fresh cornsilk tea because I like the teabags from the store and also why not try? I let it sit in a tea strainer for about 5 minutes. It tastes somewhat less sweet and carby than the dried stuff, and a lot more green and vegetal (shocking, I know!). It was pleasant and refreshing at first, but then about halfway through, it started to make me more thirsty and I quit.

Anyway, interesting experiment. I recommend trying it the next time you have corn. Now everybody please admire my pretty teacup!

Corn silk. I use it sometimes as a diuretic, particularly in some people whose kidneys are damaged or weak. Many herbal diuretics work by containing an acid that stimulates or irritates the kidneys and causes them to flush a lot of water. Corn silk is a little different because it is sweet, containing some mannitol and similar substances that draw water into the kidneys and inhibit reabsorption of water and sodium (at least i think that’s how it works; not sure about mannitol getting from the digestive tract to the kidneys). . . . . . #maize #maíz #corn #cornsilk #garden #organic #organicgardening #organicchemistry

During the weekend, we made a special offering to our beloved Ancestors, which included several fresh corncobs, which are now in season here – you can see the images a few posts down.

I am not one to be wasteful, so both the husks and the cornsilk were saved. The husks have been set to dry, and will be used for future crafts; the cornsilk is saved for the apothecary, and is traditionally used for the health of the urinary tract in our traditional Curanderismo. Just look at beautiful and shiny it is 🥰.

શું તમે ક્યારેય વિચાર્યું છે કે, મકાઈના ડોડા પરના રેસા પણ કોઈ કામના હોઈ શકે? વિશ્વાસ નથી આવતો ને?
