Wild Yam

Available in 30ml dropper bottles

Wild yam root contains diosgenin - a plant steroid that scientists can manipulate to produce steroids, such as progesterone, oestrogen, cortisone, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which are then used for medical purposes.

Wild yam has therefore become popular as a natural alternative to oestrogen therapy or progesterone creams.

Wild yam is most commonly used for alleviating menopause symptoms, such as night sweats and hot flushes.

Wild yam has anti-inflammatory effects. Studies reveal that diosgenin extracted from wild yam root helps to protect against the progression of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Diosgenin has also been shown to lower blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels.
