FEATURES AND DESCRIPTION:
  •   GLUTEN FREE
  •   Expertly extracted
  •   Corn Silk Tincture contains ONLY natural ingredients
  •   High Quality Corn Silk liquid extract - we use classic conventional methods of extraction. We meticulously produce our extracts according to precise standards where each herb is extracted according to the distinct characteristic of each plant.

Corn Silk (Zea Mays) is exactly what its name suggests - the fine, silky threads found under the husk of an ear of corn. These threads are the stigmas of the corn (or maize) plant, botanically Zea mays, of the grass family. Corn silk has a long history as a traditional herb; in Chinese herbalism it is called Yu Mi Xu. The part used here is the silk - not the kernels, the oil, or the starch.

  •  

    WHOLE-SILK LIQUID EXTRACT: Made from the dried corn silk (stigmas) of Zea mays, carrying the plant's natural spectrum of constituents rather than an isolated or standardized single compound.

  •  

    TRADITIONAL ALCOHOL EXTRACTION: A classic alcohol-based tincture, made with organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, and water, for a concentrated extract with a long shelf life.

  •  

    THE SILK, NOT THE CORN: This is the corn silk (the fine threads), distinct from the corn kernels, corn oil, and cornstarch that the plant is best known for.

  •  

    A LIQUID EXTRACT, NOT TEA: Corn silk is often sold as a tea; this is a concentrated liquid extract you take by the drop.

  •  

    CLEARLY LABELED: Labeled by botanical name and plant part, so there is no confusion with corn kernels, corn silk tea, or the cosmetic shade called "cornsilk."


Zea mays - Corn Silk, Yu Mi Xu, Stigma Maydis

Corn Silk (Zea mays) is the soft cluster of threads that everyone who has ever shucked an ear of corn will recognize. Long used as a traditional herb, it is known in Chinese herbalism as Yu Mi Xu. Our Corn Silk tincture captures the dried silk in a concentrated, alcohol-based liquid extract.

About our Corn Silk Tincture:

We start with quality corn silk and use a classic, conventional alcohol extraction with organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, and water. It is a whole-silk extract - not an isolate - carrying the plant's natural profile. This is the silk of Zea mays, not the kernels.

Suggested use: Shake well before use. Adults take 20-30 drops (approximately 1 ml, one full squeeze of the dropper) in 2 oz of water, tea, or juice, up to four times a day, or as directed by your practitioner. Drink the entire contents.*

Frequently Asked Questions about Corn Silk Extract
What is Corn Silk (Zea mays)?
Corn Silk is exactly what its name suggests - the fine, silky threads found under the husk of an ear of corn. These threads are the stigmas and styles of the corn (or maize) plant, botanically Zea mays, of the grass family (Poaceae). Corn silk has a long history as a traditional herb; in Chinese herbalism it is called Yu Mi Xu, and in Latin pharmacopeia terms Stigma Maydis. The part used here is the silk - not the kernels, the oil, or the starch. The silk naturally contains potassium and flavonoids. Our extract is offered in two forms - a traditional alcohol-based tincture and an alcohol-free glycerite - each from ethically sourced raw material. This is a whole-silk liquid extract that carries the plant's natural spectrum of constituents, not an isolated or standardized single-compound product, and we label it clearly by botanical name and plant part.
What is the difference between the tincture and alcohol-free versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Zea mays corn silk; only the solvent differs. The tincture uses alcohol as the traditional solvent, with vegetable glycerin and water. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, suited to those who avoid alcohol. Both deliver the silk's constituents in a convenient liquid you take by the drop. Choose the tincture for a classic alcohol-extracted format with a longer shelf life; choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol.
Is this the corn silk, the corn, or corn silk tea?
A few clarifications help here. First, part: this is the corn silk - the fine threads (stigmas) from the corn plant - and not the corn kernels, corn oil, or cornstarch that the plant is best known for. Second, form: corn silk is popular as a tea made by steeping the dried silk; our product is different - it is a concentrated liquid extract of the silk that you take by the drop, not loose tea. It is also worth noting that "cornsilk" is sometimes used as the name of a pale cosmetic shade, which is unrelated to this herbal product. We label our product clearly by botanical name (Zea mays) and plant part (silk) so there is no confusion with the corn kernels, the tea, or the cosmetic name.
How do I use Corn Silk liquid extract?
Shake well before use. Adults take 20-30 drops (approximately 1 ml, one full squeeze of the dropper) in 2 oz of water, tea, or juice, up to 4 times daily, or as directed by your practitioner. Drink the entire contents.
Is Corn Silk extract right for everyone? Safety and storage.
Corn Silk is not right for everyone. It has a traditional diuretic quality (it tends to increase urine output), so if you take a diuretic or blood-pressure medication, talk with your practitioner before use. It may also affect blood sugar, so if you have diabetes or take blood-sugar medication, use caution and consult your practitioner. Because it comes from the corn plant, people who are allergic to corn or corn pollen may also react to it, so use caution if you have these sensitivities. If you are pregnant or nursing, take any other medication, or have a medical condition, also consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children, and do not exceed the suggested serving. Store this tincture in a cool, dark place. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

ETHICALLY SOURCED, NATURAL INGREDIENTS

Our Corn Silk (Zea Mays) Silk is selected from regions with optimal growing conditions to support a high concentration of active constituents. We work only with trusted suppliers and focus on sourcing clean, well-preserved botanical material suitable for high-quality liquid extraction.

As a solvent, we use alcohol to preserve the integrity of the extract and support a clean extraction process.
To verify botanical identity and ensure consistency, all raw materials are tested in our laboratory using established analytical techniques. These include High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) for plant authentication and fingerprinting, or Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and other in-house methods. Our approach is guided by relevant standards such as those of the USP and Ph. Eur., ISO 17025 and cGLP, allowing us to maintain rigorous quality control, ensuring the material meets our specifications for identity, purity and composition.

METICULOUS EXTRACT PREPARATION

Hawaii Pharm determines the optimal herb-to-menstruum ratio for each botanical. For alcohol-based extracts, we use a carefully balanced alcohol blend to ensure maximum extraction of active compounds while preserving the plant's natural integrity.
Our master herbalists analyze each batch and adjust extraction parameters as needed, ensuring consistent quality despite natural variations in botanical sources.
The result is a potent, stable liquid extract that captures the full spectrum of the botanical's benefits.

COMPREHENSIVE LABORATORY TESTING

Every batch undergoes multiple quality assurance tests including:
  • Organoleptic evaluation (color, consistency, aroma)
  • FTIR and/or HPTLC spectral analysis for identity confirmation
  • Microbiological testing (total plate count, E. coli, coliforms)
  • Yeast and mold screening
  • Alcohol content verification
  • Viscosity measurement
  • Refractometric analysis
