Wild Yam

Wild Yam is now accepted as nature's "cure all" for the majority of women's complaints. It is an established fact that Wild Yam helps regulate menstrual cycles, making them more predictable and regular. It is believed that women's chances of fertility are increased by taking 1 to 2  capsules a day from the first day of menstrual bleeding until ovulation. It is antispasmodic, helping to relieve cramps of the intestine and during menstruation. It can help soothe ovarian and uterine pain, diverticulitis, (intestinal cramps) and is often used to relieve rheumatoid arthritis.

Wild Yam is also well known to relieve symptoms often associated with an uncomfortable menopause. It can also be taken for colic, spasmodic contractions, conjuctivitis and yellow skin. It is also believed to be a great help to men, increasing libido.

NATURES ALTERNATIVE TO HORMONE REPLACEMENT & SYMPTOMS OF MENOPAUSE.

Oestrogen and progesterone are two hormones whose balance is so important in a woman's body. Oestrogen is a name for a group of hormones that take part in regulating woman's reproductive system. It is produced by the ovaries when an egg is released, it starts making oestrogen to prepare (thicken) the inner lining of the uterus for pregnancy. Progesterone is a hormone that is produced by the follicle after ovulation. It keeps the inner lining of uterus ready to receive a fertilized ovum and later provides the nurturing for the development of the embryo. If the egg was not fertilized, progesterone encourages the uterus to shed the lining, and the result is menstruation flow. If the body lacks oestrogen, it uses progesterone to produce more oestrogen. On the other hand, progesterone counteracts the effect of oestrogen. The key is the balance of these two hormones. Too much of either one can cause health problems. Most women experience lack of progesterone, not oestrogen. Excess oestrogen is associated with irregular menstrual flow, hot flushes, cramping, mood swings, migraines - to name a few.

HOW DOES WILD YAM HELP?

Diosgenin found in Wild Yam is a phytoestrogen, and it closely resembles human progesterone. Due to this similarity, the body reacts to it as if it were progesterone. Because they are not the same as human hormones, phytoestrogens are far less potent which results in slower effect but safe use. Phytoestrogens do not cause any side effects.

CAN MEN USE WILD YAM?

Progesterone has another job. It increases female (and male) sexual libido and is therefore very much a unisex natural remedy used by men suffering a lack of libido or having trouble reaching orgasm.

DOSE. Take 3 to 4 capsules twice a day, morning and evening.

NB. For men, customer feed back reports suggest that combining our Wild Yam Capsules with Spirulina has significant benefits.
