Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Corn is significant in some healing ceremonies. Cornmeal may be sprinkled around the bed of a patient to protect him or her against further illness. Corn pollen may be used to ease heart palpitations, and fine cornmeal is rubbed on children's rashes. Navajo women drink blue cornmeal gruel to promote the production of milk after childbirth, and Pueblo women use a mixture of water and corn ear smut (Ustilago maydis, a kind of fungus) to relieve diarrhea and to cure irregular menstruation. A similar drink was given to Zuni women to speed childbirth and to prevent postpartum hemorrhaging. Corn silk tea was used as a diuretic and was prescribed for bladder infections.
