For centuries, Native American peoples and early American herbalists valued Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa) as one of the most important women's wellness and antispasmodic herbs in the North American botanical tradition. The long, slender, knotted roots of this heart-leafed perennial vine — whose small greenish-yellow flowers carry a faint cinnamon fragrance — were used across a wide range of traditional wellness applications, particularly for women's hormonal comfort, musculoskeletal relaxation, and digestive ease. By the 19th century, Wild Yam had become a foundational herb in American Eclectic medicine, recognized for its antispasmodic and phytoestrogenic properties. In the 1940s, pharmaceutical chemist Russell Marker made a discovery that would transform the global pharmaceutical industry: diosgenin, the naturally occurring steroidal saponin in Wild Yam root, could be chemically converted in a laboratory into progesterone — a process that became the foundation of the modern birth control pill. Wild Yam itself, however, does not convert diosgenin into progesterone in the human body — that conversion requires laboratory chemical synthesis. What Wild Yam does provide is a rich source of naturally occurring diosgenin and phytoestrogens that have been valued for centuries in traditional practice for their relationship to healthy hormonal balance and overall women's wellness. a significant traditional women's wellness and phytoestrogen herb.

Herbal Ingredient

• 100% Wild-Crafted Wild Yam Root (Dioscorea villosa) — In Grain Alcohol
  The root of the Dioscorea villosa vine — a perennial climbing plant in the Dioscoreaceae family native to North America, growing in moist woodlands and thickets. Wild Yam root is naturally rich in diosgenin (a naturally occurring steroidal saponin and phytoestrogen), dioscin, steroidal alkaloids, tannins, phytosterols, naturally occurring mucilage, starch, and naturally occurring antioxidant compounds. Diosgenin is the most studied naturally occurring compound in Wild Yam for its relationship to healthy hormonal balance and phytoestrogenic wellness support. The mucilage content gives Wild Yam its traditionally recognized soothing and tissue-comforting properties. Wild-crafted from its native North American habitat. Preserved in grain alcohol.
