Wild Yam: A Time Proven Natural Ingredient
Since ancient times, women have used plant medicines to regulate and reduce menstrual pains, ease childbirth and increase fertility.

For centuries, North American Indian women have been using wild yam for its beneficial effects on the reproductive system as well as a fertility remedy. The Aztecs of Mexico called wild yam "Chipahuacxihuitl" — the Graceful Plant — and used it for its skin-rejuvenating properties; the Chinese who call wild yam the "Elixir of Life" still use it to gently stimulate liver functions.

We often forget that modern medicine still derives all of its ingredients from nature. In the forties, when scientists were researching birth control remedies, they discovered that wild yam, like many other plants, contain plant saponins, components closely resembling human hormones. This discovery explained their long-standing use and effectiveness in treating "female problems".

Wild Mexican Yam (Dioscorea Mexicana) is rich in diosgenin. Scientists use diosgenin to produce progesterone in a laboratory environment. The female hormone progesterone provided the hormonal material used to make the first contraceptive pills.
