Yam roots, also known as Dioscorea villosa have been medicinally used by the Native Americans and early Americans for centuries, with a multitude of possible benefits, including estrogen therapy and natural progesterone to treating diverticulosis, gallbladder pain, rheumatoid arthritis, as well as offering increased energy.
Wild yams grow on perennial vines, and are typically long, slender, and knotted. The leaves are heart shaped, growing anywhere from two to six inches long and nearly as wide. The lower leaves often grow in twos and fours, and the plant contains small greenish-yellow flowers that smell a lot like cinnamon. The roots of the wild yam contain diosgenin, a plant-based estrogen that can convert into the hormone known as progesterone.
Wild yam may help in regulating blood sugar, believed to be true because of a substance called dioscoretine. Wild yams may also help in improving cholesterol levels and reducing photoaging, among many other things.
