What is Wild Yam Cream and how does it work?
Wild yam (Dioscorea villosa) contains a naturally occurring, powerful plant steroid called diosgenin. This phytosterol activates the biochemical lipid pathway that produces cholesterol and other compounds. Cholesterol is the precursor to adrenal hormones, and progesterone is an adrenal hormone.
Applying wild yam cream to your skin can increase the amount of progesterone your body makes.
Progesterone brings all other hormones in your body into balance, including oestrogen and testosterone.
What causes hormonal imbalances?
Our systems are complex and resilient, but the contraceptive pill, HRT, and other synthesised hormonal medications disrupt normal hormonal function.
We also encounter countless endocrine disruptors in everyday chemicals — food preservatives, cleaning products, garden and lawn care poisons, plastics, formaldehyde, and body products all play a role.
Does Wild Yam Cream contain progesterone?
No. The only natural progesterone is the progesterone your body makes.
What benefits can I expect from using Wild Yam Cream?
Women have traditionally used wild yam for generations, in both Western and Eastern herbal medicine. Users often report potential benefits, including relief from menopausal symptoms, menstrual discomfort, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and other hormonal imbalances. It may also support reproductive health.
How long does it take for Wild Yam Cream to work?
This depends on your hormonal blueprint, your lifestyle, and how long you’ve used or been exposed to hormone disruptors — it’s both a prescriptive and an environmental factor. Most people notice benefits after a minimum of three months, or three cycles, of applying wild yam, though some women report improvement much sooner. Menopausal women may need the full three months before they notice a change.
Your lifestyle habits and how consistently you apply the cream can also markedly affect your body’s response.
Why are my symptoms getting worse since starting Wild Yam?
Often, as the body corrects itself, symptoms of hormonal imbalance can get worse before they improve — we call this a healing crisis. Support your body through this time by following the laws of health. Try halving your dosage until your symptoms settle.
I’ve had a hysterectomy — can I use Wild Yam?
Yes, your body is still making hormones. Use it as you would for post-menopausal women, and create your own cycle.
I’m taking the pill or hormonal contraception — should I use Wild Yam?
No, this would work against you. The contraceptive pill is a synthetic hormone, while wild yam works by stimulating your body to make its own progesterone rather than supplying synthetic hormones.
I’m taking HRT — can Wild Yam support my hormones?
No, for the same reason as above. HRT works against your body’s efforts to return to a self-sufficient equilibrium.
Can a teen use Wild Yam?
Yes. We’re all born with a hormonal blueprint that our parents pass on to us. If that blueprint wasn’t balanced, you may experience hormonal imbalance symptoms even if you’ve never taken hormonal birth control. You can restore balance regardless of where your hormonal blueprint started.
Can I use Wild Yam if I’m breastfeeding?
Women have safely used Wild Yam Cream for many years, including while breastfeeding, though this remains an individual decision.
Can men use Wild Yam?
Yes, many men have used Wild Yam to balance their hormones. Wild yam contains diosgenin, which activates the biochemical lipid pathway that produces cholesterol — the precursor to all adrenal hormones. Wild yam stimulates the body to make progesterone, and once progesterone reaches the correct balance, testosterone and oestrogen levels follow.
When can I stop using Wild Yam?
Whenever you like. Because wild yam supports your body’s natural hormone production rather than replacing it, you won’t become dependent on the cream. Once you restore balance, you can take a break. Listen to your body, since everyone is different — some people need longer or shorter periods to reach balance. Resume using wild yam whenever you feel your body needs rebalancing.
