How It Works
Wild yam is a vine native to North America, Latin America (Mexico in particular), and parts of Asia.
Wild yam has been used in Mexico since the time of the Aztecs for supporting joint mobility and ease throughout the body. In Central America, wild yam has been used to support the natural processes of childbirth and menstruation.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, Western herbalists used wild yam to treat menstrual cramps, morning sickness and menopausal complaints, as well as coughs, muscle spasms and cramps, and upset stomach.
Today, wild yam is commonly used for a variety of female concerns, especially by menopausal women to naturally support and balance the female glandular system.
Wild yam contains diosgenin, a steroidal saponin (or plant-based estrogen) that is utilized in commercial labs to make steroid hormones.
Diosgenin promotes a healthy inflammatory response and may help ease joint discomfort and swelling associated with rheumatoid arthritis, potentially improving mobility.
