Korean Cornsilk Tea (Oksusu Cha)

Our Korean cornsilk tea is an herbal drink made by steeping the thin, silky fibers found inside the husk of a corn cob. It has a mild, earthy, and slightly sweet flavor, is caffeine-free, and contains no calories, making it suitable for regular consumption. While it is sometimes confused with Oksusu Cha (Korean roasted corn tea), corn silk tea is specifically made from the strands, not the roasted kernels.

Cornsilk offers a healthy dose of potassium and vitamins C and K. The herb is also a good source of dietary polyphenols, plant-based compounds with antioxidant activity.

If you’re having problems with urinary tract infections, it’s been found that the potassium in cornsilk can help with the pain you’re feeling and restore you back to health. One of the ways it does this is by soothing the inflamed tissues that are causing the problem.

When you have a urinary tract infection, you often feel like you need to urinate frequently, but the actual process of urinating is difficult. Cornsilk may help to relieve your difficulty and it decrease the frequency that you need to go to the bathroom.
