There is currently a thirst and demand for healthy diets with added value all around the world. One such important herb that can be found in many different locations is corn silk. The Chinese and Native Americans have used the herb corn silk (Stigma maydis) for generations to treat a wide range of conditions. Many countries around the world, including Turkey, the United States, and France, use it as traditional medicine. Its potential application is highly dependent on the characteristics and mechanisms of action of the plant’s bioactive ingredients, such as flavonoids, terpenoids, and other phytochemicals. Pharmacological investigations have shown that this traditional plant has medicinal qualities such as anti-oxidant, anti-depressant, anti-hyperlipidemia, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective toxicity and many more.
