Let's Talk Wild Yam

We love the Yam Cream that Powerline Health makes because it goes on smooth and creamy.

Some people notice a slight constipation with the use of Wild Yam. While Wild Yam does not "contain Progesterone" it does naturally have some "hormone like" substances that your body knows how to turn into progesterone.

We have paired the Wild Yam with a few essential oils that help balance out female hormones that should naturally occur in your body. They also to make the Yam Cream smell nice without it being an overwhelming smell.

The liquid form of Wild Yam Root in the form of a Herbal Tincture is also handy for some reasons of it's own.

Wild Yam Herbal Tincture

2 Fluid Oz (60ml)

Wild Yam Root is commonly used for female hormone balance

Suggested Use: Adults use 20 to 30 drops, under your tongue, 1 to 3 times a day as needed or as directed by your health care practitioner.

Why use Wild Yam liquid under the tongue?

Wild Yam root is not absorbed by the digestive system very well. Most of it passes through the digestive system so to the the best absorption you can put your drops under your tongue. Hold the Yam Drops under your tongue 15 to 20 seconds to allow them to be absorbed into your blood stream. This is a simple hack to bypass the digestive system.

It is really brilliant and an ancient practice. When herbs are soaked in the food grade alcohol and the herbal drops are placed under the tongue they are put in the blood stream and taken to the liver (because that is where alcohol is taken), in this way they can do the most good for the body. The tincture does not contain enough alcohol to be dangerous only the right amount to be the vehicle for the herbs.

Information about Wild Yam Root

Wild yam is a plant that contains a chemical called diosgenin, wild yam is has been used for centuries for a hormone therapy because it stimulates the body to make it's own progesterone. Progesterone is the "feel-good" hormone for women. It builds bone and muscle strength for women much the way testosterone does for me.

Some additional uses for Wild Yam Root: for vaginal dryness in older women, PMS, and bone weakness in menopausal women. It is also thought to increasing energy and sexual drive in both men and women. For younger women it can help with menstrual cramps, breast enlargement and improve fertility.

Wild yam is also used for in men and women to treat disorders of the intestines like diverticulosis, gallbladder issues.

Some women apply wild yam creams to the skin to reduce menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes.

Wild Yam is also used for PMS, infertility, uncomfortable menstrual periods and to increase sexual desire in men and women.
