Wild Yam Root - Organic

For centuries, Native Americans and early Americans have used wild yam for possible benefits ranging from estrogen therapy and natural progesterone to treating diverticulosis, gallbladder pain, rheumatoid arthritis, reduce menopausal symptoms, regulate blood sugar, improve cholesterol levels, reduce photoaging as well as offering increased energy. Although it’s often used as a supplement, in the northern part of Japan wild yam is consumed as a health food, and this research shows it may be a cancer-fighting food. *

The root is not related to sweet potatoes or yams. It is used for herbal preparations and body care products.
