      St. Francis Corn Silk Tincture Details

      Corn silk is the fine golden threads under the husk of a corn cob — the part everyone peels off and throws away. In herbal medicine it has a long-standing and unusually specific set of uses, all of them urinary.

      It is traditionally used in Herbal Medicine to relieve bedwetting in children, as a diuretic and urinary demulcent, and to relieve and soothe minor bladder irritations. Demulcent is the operative word: corn silk is mucilaginous, meaning it coats and soothes irritated tissue rather than simply flushing it.

      Made from corn silk (Zea mays, stigma) at 250 mg Quantity Crude Equivalent per millilitre, in a base of distilled water and certified organic alcohol. 50 ml with a dropper.

      St. Francis Herb Farm has been making liquid herbal extracts in Ontario since 1988. Their tinctures use certified organic alcohol and distilled water, and are made to a stated extraction ratio so you know the strength of what you are taking.

      Who St. Francis Corn Silk Tincture Is For

      This is one of the few St. Francis tinctures dosed for young children, with amounts on the label from age two upward — which reflects its traditional use for bedwetting. It also suits adults dealing with minor bladder irritation who want something soothing rather than aggressive.

      Consult a practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have an alcohol-related disease or liver disease. Bedwetting in an older child that starts suddenly warrants a doctor rather than a tincture, as it can point to something underlying.

      St. Francis Corn Silk Tincture Features and Benefits

      • Dropper Dosing — Adjustable to the drop, which capsules cannot match.
      • Made in Ontario Since 1988 — St. Francis Herb Farm has been making liquid extracts in Canada for over thirty years.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Product Information

      ➕ What is St. Francis Corn Silk Tincture?
      A single-herb liquid extract of corn silk (Zea mays, stigma) at 250 mg QCE per millilitre, in a 50 ml dropper bottle.
      ➕ How much do I take?
      Children 2-4 years: 0.3 ml (10 drops). Children 5-9 years: 0.4-0.5 ml (12-15 drops). Adolescents 10-14 years: 0.8-1 ml (24-30 drops). Adults and adolescents 15 and over: 1.6 ml. Under 2 years as directed by a physician.
      ➕ Why a tincture rather than capsules?
      Liquid extracts absorb without needing to disintegrate first, and a dropper lets you adjust the dose to the drop.
      ➕ Does it contain alcohol?
      Yes. Certified organic alcohol is the extraction solvent — it is what pulls the compounds from the plant. Taken in a little water the amount per dose is very small, but it is worth knowing if you avoid alcohol.

      Benefits of Ingredients

      ➕ What is corn silk?
      The fine golden threads found under the husk of a corn cob. In herbal medicine they have a long tradition of urinary use.
      ➕ What does demulcent mean?
      A demulcent coats and soothes irritated tissue. Corn silk is mucilaginous, which is why it is used for bladder irritation rather than simply as a diuretic.
      ➕ Why is it used for bedwetting?
      It is a traditional use in Herbal Medicine, and the reason this tincture carries dosing for children from age two.
      ➕ What does Quantity Crude Equivalent mean?
      Quantity Crude Equivalent tells you how much raw herb each millilitre represents. A 1:4 tincture at 250 mg QCE means every millilitre carries the equivalent of 250 mg of dried herb. Stating the ratio is what separates a properly made tincture from one that simply lists an ingredient.

      Usage and Storage

      ➕ How do I take it?
      Children 2-4 years: 0.3 ml (10 drops). Children 5-9 years: 0.4-0.5 ml (12-15 drops). Adolescents 10-14 years: 0.8-1 ml (24-30 drops). Adults and adolescents 15 and over: 1.6 ml. Under 2 years as directed by a physician.
      ➕ Are there any cautions?
      Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have an alcohol related disease or liver disease. Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms worsen or persist. Discontinue use if any adverse reaction occurs.
      ➕ How should I store it?
      Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light with the cap closed. Keep out of reach of children.
