My daughter saves cornsilk and adds it to all the vegetable scraps, which are used to make vegetable broth for soups and stews.
That’s awesome! I’ll have to try that because I make homemade chicken bone broth/stock all the time.
Oh I love this idea! I'll need to freeze the silk and have it on hand for my soups and stocks. Yum!
Had corn silk tea last couple days. I steep for 15-20 minutes, add honey and coffee creamer and it is amazing. Taste better than the corn. There are nutrients in corn silk you can't get anywhere else.
Wow! Very cool. And yes, I always drink the water anytime I boil vegetables. I need that nutrition more than my sink pipes do!
Absolutely 🙌
🤣
I actually throw mine into the chickens as a preventative to help keep them de-wormed. They love it.
I have been waiting for six months to finally get some corn silk❤ We picked our first corn today and I will be making corn silk tincture tonight 🌽 🌽
U CAN ALSO FRY IT WITH GARLIC, BUTTER SALT PEPPER. OR USE WHATEVER SPICES U LIKE. SORRY ALL CAPS CAN'T C SMALL LETTERS ON KEYBOARD
I can corn broth, make corn syrup and I use the silk for tea and make the tincture.
I enjoyed this video just like all of your other videos! you are a hard worker just like your bees. My mom has passed now, God bless her soul; she was old school and used a lot of herbal recipes because she wasn't fond of doctors. I remember growing up, she used to air dry the corn silk in the sun in a basket. Once dry she'll store it in a glass jar.Then she would drink it as tea, boil the water with dry corn silk, strain it and sip away. It looks like camomile tea as far as the color. She used to say, it is the best for UTI's and bladder infections & fluidity of urination especially for women! Just like what you said. Keep up the good work, you are amazing!
Thank you Dear! Your mom sounds like she was an amazing woman! What a beautiful opportunity to have had her as a mother!
@@TheHoneystead Thank you, she was. I learned a lot from her for sure. Take care...looking forward to watch your next video.
my mom took 2 tabs 3 times a day in pill form for grossly swollen feet . it worked
Oh, I am amazed! Our journeys are so similar! I only recently found your channel, and in the last year my hubby and I made plans to turn our detached, 16x24 garage into a Summer Kitchen/Herbal workshop to get some of the clutter of my “interests” out of my home kitchen!
And, even more recently, (no joke), the very words out of my mouth to him were:
“I think I’m trying to do too many things. At 69, if I focus on learning about herbal contributions to health, and provide products and services regarding that to folks, perhaps I can make enough $ to buy or barter food from local farms and support them in the process.”
AND, to top it off I just brought my mothers old enamel-topped cabinet into the garage to hold my medium Freeze Dryer. It looks very much like your yellow one. 😊
I just found that very interesting, and not at all coincidental. 😊 I think God brought me to your channel to encourage me, and to confirm His leading, since I have from the start committed to do all this very much step by step, following His leading!!!
Thank you!❤❤❤
Used to make corn silk dolls to sell when we were little tykes
Did not know this about corn silk. I have seen an increase in family and friends with kidney stones. I will look this up more and pass the info on. I'm learning a lot from you. Thank you very much.❤
Corn silk will prevent end stage diabetic complications according to NIH PUB Med NCBI. Check out the new amazing advanced plant science. You'll love what you can read in the abstract or conclusion of ful study. Specifics are very difficult, but general information more easy to understand.
My Chinese friends always drink a cup of the water after boiling the corn
It is very yummy and great for you!!
Good morning Honeystead. Great video as usual. I agree that corn silk and natural and herbal treatments are much more effective medications than OTC products and prescription drugs. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for information all these years I've been throwing away corn silks not knowing the benefits
I save the corn water for soup broth - Vegetable beef soup, asparagus crab meat soup, and all kinds of vegetarian soup .
Very interesting information amazing all of the beneficial plants right in front of us we never knew…certainly these past three years have been quite eye opening about foraging and using many things people will kill with pesticides and herbicides …as well as identifying useful WEEDS that are edible right on our own property…thank you for sharing this very useful information…stay blessed
Thank you Kaylee for always providing us with your insite and sharing your knowledge about things that matter...
Health, homesteading, and learning old stuff that we should all know. 😊😊😊
Oh this is a brilliant idea. Thanks for the tip!
Very interesting. I'd never heard of this. Thank you for sharing!
Wow, that’s really interesting. I’m learning about the health benefits to both us and our livestock as a direct result of our soil health, this is yet another piece to that puzzle. Thank you ☺️
Great to know ! Gonna make a small bottle to have on hand …Thanks for sharing it !!
Love this idea!
You Corn Shucker...learn something new everyday . Thank you.
🌽🌽🌽
Good video! Great information about what to do with corn silk. Keep teaching!
Thanks for sharing as some in my family have had bladder issues so this will be a great use to help. I’m new to all this but have started watching you and made your goldenrod oil today here in Allensville, KY
thanks for the information on the medicinal benefits of corn silk. have a great day, and week.
Thanks for sharing, now enjoy those Corn Harvest Blessings. And I wanted to take a minute to Thank you and your Mom for my recent purchase of wonder Medicinal Tea Blends. Great Job!! I can't decide which is my favorite, smiles.
💛💛💛 this made my day! I’ll share it with mom as well!
Added to my list of tinctures to start next week! Thank you! And that’s was some gorgeous corn!!!
I just pulled up 16 plants and it’s all in the compost pile! Will definitely do this next time.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
I make a corn cob jam I'm now dyhdrating apples and made apple pie jam and homemade vinegar today
Ma'am I read the Medical herbalism book that was suggested by you ☘️💚 now I'm in love with this book 💚
Interesting and looks easy
I prepared the tincture of corn silk.. it's amazing..
Love your video! Can you show the next process after the 30 days?
Absolutely
Thank you so much. I never knew how nutritious corn silk was! I will be saving some of mine this summer for sure. Great video as always!
Thank you!!
Thank you!
Huh! This is awesome! I guess I didn’t realize what cornsilk was!! Now I know! Thabks
Thank You
I see you left the brown on the silk for the tincture. I can’t wait for our corn to ripen.
Very very good with lovely voice..
Cor silk...Zea... Stegmamed.
Thank you
Kaylee can you show us other ways to use this? I don't like the alcohol. Could you do it as a pill form? Love your videos.
Wow.... Respect
I get kidney stones and will definitely try this!
very nice canal thank so much , the corn hair is medecinal ,
I just love your channel! Thanks for sharing all you do! Do you have a go-to vodka you use for tinctures?
I started using whatever I could find that was 100 proof- Smirnoff or Aristocrat, but I’m looking at organic vodka from other companies like spirt rock!
Definitely may get my hands dirty with this one! I’m not sure if TH-cam would allow, but have you thought of making your own alcohol? With corn! For medicinal purposes of course 😋. At least in American history it was a common practice for tinctures, medicines…and recreation.
I am going to get some of that corn tea. I like the sound of it. Would the water from a tin of corn be the same as having a cup of tea from the dried corn silk?
Because I would be needing to buy a lot of tins of corn. I learn something new nearly every time I watch one of your videos.👍♥️.
I’d go with the fresh stuff!!
Thank you Kaylee!! I’m putting corn up Today!! Perfect timing🙌🏼 How long do tinctures last on the shelf?
Tincture shelf life is unlimited
Thanks!😊@@malemouse198
Have you ever considered making ethanol or biodiesel since you live on a farm?
Thank you!! 100 proof.. I've known for a few years the benefits of CS, but never delved into making a tincture. Would love to! Here in Australia, alcohol content comes in %. Vodka comes in 30%, 40% and 80%, so which would you use?
When I make soup I put my dried or fresh corn silk in a herb ball and drop that in the pot.
Can you tell us about Motherwort?
Are we getting an update video on how to press afterwards?

Can this be made with ACV? Thanks.
Can you make a tincture with dried cornsilk husks?
How do yoy keep your hands looking so good being a gardener and homesteader?
Thank you for taking the time to teach us how to make corn silk tincture. Do you dry your own corn silk and if so do you dehydrate or freeze dry it ?
I do!! You can place it on a tray and air dry it or dehydrate it as well
I wondered why you didn't give your cow a cornstarch. She would love it. I wouldn't give them too much at first, but if they've been eating grass all summer they should be fine. (The risk in giving too much green when they have only been eating hay, is bloat) When we used to grow field corn, after we had harvested it, we would let the cows into the field to eat all the stalks and convert it to manure.
Love your channel🙂
Silly spellcheck, cornstalk not cornstarch!
Question, is there anybody showing/teaching foraging in Oregon? I grew up eating a lot of what grew in the woods and I love what you do. We live in the Willamette valley. Looking for contacts. 😊
Look up Nichole Apelian- (spelling may be wrong)
I found my soul mate
How do you preserve corn(jar), or other?
Could you put the tincture in a capsule and if so how many to take a day.
For dried would you use a dehydrator?
How are you going to preserve the corn?
How do you dry it? I can't do the alcohol.
Can I dye my skin green with it?
I have corn that's been sitting out for several days. Would that still be okay to use for a tincture or is it too old now?
Does ''young'' cornsilk have all those properties as mature ones ? We had a thunderstorm and I have a couple of baby corns that broke off from the plant... the exterior part of the silk is still red-ish. So you do you think I can use it ?
Do you need to wash the corn silk before use? Or just cut it and drink it is fine?
@The Honeystead. My question is: can you eat raw corn Silk in a salad ?
All corn varietal strains carry a Fire vibration in the Chinese 5 Elements. Therefore, corn silk acts as a general, warming remedy for the body. St. John's wort also carries a Fire vibration, however it specifically targets the brain and CNS, hence it's goodness for bringing balance with depression and SAD symptoms. Fire foods are MINOR in their influence in US culture. Why? Because very few people are willing to eat hot chilis. Yet, hot chilis (all varieties) are extremely beneficial to those who lack Fire vibration in their body chemistry. IMPORTANT: Water vibration foods and herbal remedies do the "real" healing with all things urinary tract (including kidneys) and reproductive issues for both females and males! ♥️
What does CNS mean
@@susanpeterson8773 Central nervous system
In another tincture video you covered the jar with a clean cloth to let the moisture evaporate. I'm curious why you didn't do the same with the cornsilk.
Because it wasn't a tincture, it was an infused oil with fresh plant. So oil doesn't like water inside. Tincture is made from alcohol, and it doesn't care what plant stuff is inside fresh or dried.🙂🍀 All the best
Did you say the tincture will break down kidney stones? I couldn't hear clearly. Your voice got softer at that point.
I did make a small tincture last year to use in case of urinary tract infections.
Thanks for sharing!
💙🌿🌼🌿💙
I did!!! It’s wonderful!
@@TheHoneystead ~ Perfect!!! 🥰
My lovely wife has diabetes have to think about the sugar level in that tincture mix
Can you use 80%. Vol ?
Mark 4:28-29 KJV
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
How would you make that with 151proof
Thank you! Question on dried. Do you dehydrate silk or lay our to dry for tea?
You can do either, but I prefer to air dry
@@TheHoneystead thank you so much! I sure enjoy following you and your momma..you are doing things I wish I knew. Learning alot!
when I buy from farmers market sometimes the "farmer" isnt present to tell me if its sprayed at all. does the alcohol destroy pesticides or should I avoid using unless 100% sure not sparyed?
What about rum?
how many days b4 idrink
This is very interesting! If you were giving a tincture of this to a child for bladder issues, is it safe since it’s made with alcohol? Sorry you’ve probably talked about this before but I haven’t seen a video where you’ve addressed it. :)
Tea form would be the way to go
@@TheHoneystead perfect! Thanks :)
Can non-GMO glistering used to ?
When you say that you used 50 present of alcohol, do you mean 50 present of ethanol or 50/50 water to vodka?
Can the store bought corn be used or does it need to be fresh off the stalk?
Absolutely!
We're moving in 6 days (to what will become a homestead) & it's the end of corn season. Can I freeze the silk until I can deal after the move? All my mason jars are packed up.
Yes and you can dry it as well :)
@@TheHoneystead thank you for this quick reply! I just discovered you today when I went looking for this remedy. I'm thrilled. I figured I'd add silk to the freezer bag each day as corn gets eaten and deal next week. Thanks, Marianne.
what can be used in place of the alcohol?
You can use apple cider vinegar!
You drink water from the corn is that what they call corn pot liquor
Do you grow heirloom corn? I have not eaten corn in many years because I can’t find anything that is not GMO
I grow a a variety. Look us Hoss tools, Baker creek, and strictly medicinal. Honestly.. anything you grow will be better than store bought!
Do you know if all corn is gmo now? I heard corn was genetically modified to produce its own pesticide so bugs wont go near it. Im afraid to eat it too or use it for anything
Strictly Medicinal Seeds- all non gmo and organic.
as long as it is organic and organicaly grown. do not use GMO corn.
Agreed!
What variety of corn are you growing? I’m assuming it’s nonGMO corn so that your bees are not exposed to GMO’s
I actually am growing a few different types! Some from Baker Creek, strictly medicinal, and Hoss :)
From what I understand, a gardener can't possibly purchase GMO seeds for anything. They are exclusively produced for large producers.
Have you had any exper8ence with kidney stones in any patients? Treating with corn silk
Can you explain the alcohol proof to alcohol? Im so confused. You must have to buy a ton of alcohol for all your tinctures! Is there a particular brand you like?
May i know the name of your cow.... ?
At the very begining of your video you have called its name...
Would it be okay to use an 80 proof? Vodka?
Yes! That will work just fine :)
Kaylee, why go to all the trouble with the corn silks and waiting 30 days? Just drink a quart of 100 proof and your bladder will work just fine but you won’t even know it! lol
