In China a decoction of the leaf and roots is used for dysuria. Corn silks are used as a diuretic in dropsy, to treat diabetes mellitus, and decocted with banana and watermelon peel for hypertension. A cob decoction is used for epistaxis and meorrhagia. The seed is widely used for cancers, tumors, and warts. A decoction of the root is used for blenorrhea and dyusuria (Duke and Ayensu 1985).</p> <p>In Haiti an infusion of the styles is used as a diuretic and for kidney problems; a decoction or maceration of the styles is used for inflammations and edema; the ground grains are used in a warm compress on traumatized areas and swellings; a cataplasm of the ground grains is applied to fractures; and, split ears of corn are made into an infusion as an antihypertensive (Neptune-Rouzier 1997). Among Afro-Cuban religions, in the Ocha Rule (also called Santeria), this species is a sacred plant belonging to all the orishas (“saints”); \"It is considered a sign of good luck when maize grains spontaneously sprout around a house\" (Fuentes 1992). The medicinal uses of this plant in the Caribbean region, as well as its chemistry, biological activity, toxicity and dosages, are discussed by Germosén-Robineau (1997). Details of the active chemical compounds, effects, herbal usage and pharmacological literature of this plant are given in Fleming (2000).</p> <p>Reference.</p> <p>Mya Bwin and Sein Gwan (1967).</p></div>","source":"The medicinal plants of Myanmar","sourceTaxonKey":150768734,"creator":"DeFilipps, Robert A.;Krupnick, Gary A.","contributor":"Pensoft via Plazi","license":"No known copyright restrictions apply.
