After being diagnosed with chronic nephritis, one must undergo regular treatment. While receiving standard integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment, Director Liu Weizhong, Vice President of the China Association of Chinese Medicine and a national expert on health preservation, recommends that patients can drink corn silk tea long-term for its auxiliary therapeutic effects on chronic nephritis.
Recommended prescription: 60 grams of corn silk, decocted into a tea to be drunk as a substitute, to be taken continuously for 6 months or longer.
Commentary: Corn silk is the style and stigma of the maize plant (Poaceae Zea mays). It is sweet, bland, and neutral in nature, and has the effect of promoting urination to relieve strangury. It can be used to treat conditions such as chronic nephritis and edema. Using corn silk decocted into a tea to treat nephritis is the experience of the famous physician Yue Meizhong. Clinically verified repeatedly, as long as one persists in taking it, it确实 has the function of helping to cure chronic illnesses of many years. Corn silk is easy to collect in large quantities in the autumn, which can be dried and stored for later use, making it economical and affordable. However, it must be emphasized that only by taking it persistently can results be achieved.
If chronic nephritis is not cured for a long time, it can damage the body's vital energy (zheng qi). During treatment, it is important to pay attention to regulating and protecting the vital energy, allowing the damage to gradually recover. If the medication is changed or treatment is stopped midway, it will lead to an incomplete tonification and restoration, causing the condition to relapse or even worsen.
