Wild Yam has been used by many cultures for over 2,000
years. In Chinese medicine it was first mentioned in the Pen Tsao Ching in 26
B.C. In the 1800s, Lydia Pinkhams tonic for women had many of the herbs
that are found to be most effective for menopausal complaints. Wild Yam was in
the original formula along with other phyto-chemically rich herbal extracts. In
the 1940s, the scientific community discovered Wild Yam. An article published
by Professor Russel Marker showed progesterone and estrogen could inexpensively
be synthesized from diosgenin, the active constituent found in the Wild Yam
Root. Until then, production of these was based upon costly multi-step
extractions from animals. Today, Wild Yam has gained notoriety as one of the
best natural sources of phytohormones. The use of Wild Yam can offer the user an
alternative with no side effects or toxicity unlike the prescription
counterparts.
