Wild Yam Root (Dioscorea villosa), also known as Colic Root, Rheumatism Root, or Ñame Silvestre (in Spanish), is a traditional women’s wellness herb used to support hormone balance, ease menstrual and menopausal discomfort, and calm inflammation.
Naturally rich in diosgenin, a plant compound that helps the body maintain healthy estrogen and progesterone levels, Wild Yam gently nourishes the endocrine system and supports smoother cycles. It’s also valued for soothing muscle cramps, joint stiffness, and digestive spasms, making it a versatile herb for total body comfort.
Commonly used in capsules, teas, tinctures, and creams, Wild Yam offers balancing support for both women and men — helping the body adapt to hormonal changes, reduce stress, and promote calm energy.
