The Natural Hidden Weapon Against Hormone Imbalance: Discover The Benefits Of Wild Yam!
Welcome to the wonderful world of wild yam! This unassuming root is a powerhouse of natural benefits for women's health. Wild yam, a twining tuberous vine scientifically known as Dioscorea villosa, has been used for centuries to support hormonal balance. It's the perfect partner in our Hormotion™ Lotion wild yam cream for assisting with hormone balance...and for good reason!
The Perfect Partner for Women’s Health
Ladies, we know the struggle. Hormones can be unpredictable, and finding a natural way to support natural hormone balance can be a game-changer. Hormotion™ Lotion wild yam cream is a gentle and easy way to incorporate this botanical wonder into your routine. But what makes this root so special?
Discover the Power of Wild Yam: Nature’s Support for Hormonal Balance
A super popular and well-known ingredient (not to be confused with sweet potato; different plant families!), wild yam root has been celebrated for its natural compound diosgenin, a phytoestrogen (or plant-based oestrogen), which assists in giving your hormones a naturally gentle nudge in the right direction. This helps ease those pesky symptoms such as PMS, menopause, mood swings, cramps, vaginal dryness, libido and hot flushes and help promote a sense of hormonal harmony.
The Wow Behind Wild Yam
At the heart of wild yam’s benefits are phytoestrogens—plant-based compounds that mimic oestrogen in the body. Phytoestrogens can help support hormonal balance, especially for women experiencing menopause or other hormonal fluctuations. These compounds interact with oestrogen receptors in the body, helping to maintain a more balanced hormonal environment.
Wild yam’s phytoestrogens don’t actually increase oestrogen levels but support your body's own hormone regulation mechanisms, just the way nature intended! This can be particularly helpful for naturally managing symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, such as hot flushes, mood swings, PMS, libido and menstrual discomfort.
How do phytoestrogens work?
Phytoestrogens are plant-derived compounds that have a similar structure to oestrogen. They can interact with oestrogen receptors in the body. See the image to the right demonstrating the similarity of oestrogen and phytoestrogen and how they can both attach to the receptor to effect change in the body. So when oestrogen is deficient, this is a great natural way to help supply the body with what it's lacking.
Diosgenin is a phytoestrogen, that occurs naturally in the roots of wild yam, that binds to oestrogen receptors, mimicking the effects of natural hormones. Diosgenin is the building blocks your body needs for various hormones, supporting the body’s natural hormone production processes.
It’s become super cool and popular for its potential health benefits, particularly in the realm of natural hormone balance and women’s health. It has the ability to influence the production of much needed hormones, including oestrogen. When oestrogen becomes too low, imbalances occur and strange and unwanted things start happening…cue hot flushes, weight gain, mood swings, low libido, cycle issues, irritability…need we go on?
Is Diosgenin In Wild Yam Cream A Natural Remedy For Hormone Balance?

These may include higher risks of cardiovascular disease, blood clotting or breast cancer. Natural remedies for hormone imbalance such as wild yam may be a great option for you if you’re seeking a natural solution. Mumma nature at its best!
Benefits of Diosgenin in Wild Yam Cream for Hormonal Balance
- Supports Natural Hormone Regulation: The unique properties of diosgenin in wild yam make it a valuable component and is believed to support the body's endocrine system, helping to maintain a balanced hormone environment, naturally. This can be particularly beneficial if you are experiencing hormonal ups and downs during menopause or menstrual cycles.
- Menstrual Health: By helping to balance oestrogen and progesterone levels, the diosgenin in wild yam may help alleviate symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause, such as cramps, bloating, mood swings and hot flushes.
What Is Oestrogen Deficiency And How Does It Affect Women During Menopause?
As women approach menopause, the natural decline in oestrogen levels can lead to a variety of uncomfortable symptoms that impact overall well-being. Oestrogen deficiency occurs when the ovaries reduce their production of this crucial hormone, typically during peri-menopause and post-menopause. Common symptoms include:
- Hot Flushes and Night Sweats: Oestrogen is needed to maintain a wide thermostatic temperature range for the hypothalamus. When oestrogen is depleted only a slight change in temperature is required to set us off into a sweat response.
- Mood Swings and Cognitive Changes: Fluctuating oestrogen levels can influence mood, memory, and concentration.
- Vaginal Dryness and Decreased Libido: Shifts in oestrogen levels can affect vaginal lubrication and sexual desire.
- Urinary Health: Oestrogen levels can impact the urinary tract, influencing the risk of infections, night time urinating, frequency and urgency issues and incontinence.
- Skin Changes: Oestrogen plays a role in maintaining skin elasticity and moisture.
- Cardiovascular Health: Changes in oestrogen levels can affect heart health.
What are the other benefits of Wild Yam Cream? Glad you asked! Let’s dive in to what is currently being researched.
Skin Health: While wild yam is busy supporting your hormones, it’s also doing wonders for your skin. Rich in antioxidants, this root helps nourish and protect your skin, making it a fantastic addition to your self-care routine. But the best bit? Wild yam may help with photoaging woohoo! This is where the skin cells are damaged due to excessive UV exposure. The diosgenin in wild yam may have a depigmenting effect which may assist with hyperpigmentation.
Blood Sugar Regulator: Thanks to a natural chemical called dioscoretine, wild yam has been shown to regulate blood sugar levels which may not only be super helpful if you already have diabetes, but it will also go a long way in preventing diabetes and many other health conditions associated with high blood sugar.
Anti-Inflammatory: A shout out to all you arthritis sufferers out there! Wild yam has been used to treat arthritis due to the anti-inflammatory properties that assist with pain reduction and reduction of inflammation in the joints. Diverticulitis is another health issue that wild yam has been used for to help ease discomfort of the symptoms such as inflammation.
Bone Health: It is believed that diosgenin in wild yam may support bone health by influencing the balance of hormones that affect bone density and structural composition. As you age, bones become more brittle (osteoporosis) so it’s super important to support the health of your bones and wild yam for bone health is a natural way to help achieve this.
Digestion: Wayyyy back when…wild yam was used to help small gallstones to pass through. It’s also believed that wild yam assists digestion by supporting gall bladder and liver function, two organs the digestive system can’t do without. We all need the stimulation of bile for healthy digestion! The liver is extremely important in metabolising hormones, which is another critical factor in maintaining hormonal balance.
Cancer Cells: Ongoing studies show promising results for wild yam root stalks, which contain dioscin—a compound shown to suppress the growth of malignant cells. Additionally, diosgenin, another active component in wild yam, may help induce apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells. While more research is needed, these findings highlight the potential cancer-fighting properties of wild yam.
Muscle Health and Cramps: Wild yam is known for its ability to ease cramps and muscle pain, thanks to its anti-spasmodic properties. It's particularly helpful for PMS-related discomfort, reducing tension and soothing sore muscles. Additionally, when combined with resistance training, wild yam may support muscle growth and strength by aiding in recovery and preventing cramps. This makes it a versatile option for promoting both hormonal balance and overall muscle health.
Cholesterol: The diosgenin in wild yam not only blocks the absorption of bad cholesterol (LDL) and enhances the good (HDL), but it has also been shown to reduce triglyceride levels in the blood. Additionally, wild yam may help improve overall cardiovascular health by supporting healthy blood flow and reducing inflammation in blood vessels, further promoting heart health.
