The root and bulb have been used for many years in traditional medicine. Wild yam is also called American yam, Chinese yam, colic root, devil's bone, four-leaf yam, Mexican yam, rheumatism root, shan yao, and yuma.Studies done more recently found that wild yam has a chemical called diosgenin, which has been shown to have many health benefits. This chemical, which has also been called a phytosteroid, is said to be like the steroids that our bodies make naturally. It is also thought to have weak effects similar to oestrogen, which is why it is often used as a natural menopause treatment. The diosgenin in wild yam is used to make steroids like progesterone, cortisone, and dehydroepiandrosterone, which are used in medicine.People think that the versions of diosgenin found in wild yams have the same benefits as steroids made in a lab. Wild yam can be taken as a supplement, or you can buy a cream that you rub on your skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I use wild yam?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, wild yam is employed in the treatment of diverticulosis, an intestinal disorder, biliary discomfort, rheumatoid arthritis, and vitality enhancement. Some women use wild yam lotions to treat menopausal symptoms like heat flashes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWild yam benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften sold as a skin cream, wild yam root is also available as a supplement. People have long used it to treat hormonal problems like menopause and PMS, as well as to ease the pain of arthritis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◉ \u003cstrong\u003ePotentially Regulates Blood Sugar:\u003c\/strong\u003e According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, wild yam may help control blood sugar. This is thought to be because of a chemical called dioscoretine, which has helped in studies. Researchers at the University of Nigeria's Phytotherapy Research Laboratory found that diabetic rabbits' blood sugar went down when they were given dioscoretine that had been taken from tubers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◉\u003cstrong\u003e Improves Cholesterol Levels:\u003c\/strong\u003e A study published in the Journal of Lipid Research suggests that the diosgenin in wild yam may help raise the \"good\" HDL cholesterol and lower the \"bad\" LDL cholesterol. The study fed wild yam to rats for a week to investigate if diosgenin prevents the body from absorbing cholesterol. The HDL-to-LDL ratio of the rats was better than that of the other rats. Another study done on mice and rats suggests that wild yam supplements may help control high cholesterol levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◉ \u003cstrong\u003eMenopause:\u003c\/strong\u003e In alternative medicine, wild yam root cream is most often used instead of estrogen replacement therapy to treat menopause symptoms like night sweats and hot flashes. However, there isn't much evidence to show that it works. In fact, one of the few studies that were done found that 23 women who used wild yam root cream every day for 3 months had no change in their menopause symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◉ \u003cstrong\u003eSkin health:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild yam root is often used in anti-aging creams for the skin. In a test-tube study, it was found that diosgenin may help new skin cells grow, which could slow the aging process. But there isn't much research on wild yam root as a whole. Researchers have also investigated the potential depigmenting effect of diosgenin. If you spend too much time in the sun, you may get small, flat, brown or tan spots on your skin. The condition is called hyperpigmentation and is harmless, but some people don't like it. However, studies have not demonstrated the effectiveness of wild yam root creams for this purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere do I buy wild yam?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy wild yam from the health food store in the \u003ca title=\"Alive Herbals - The best online herbal store in the USA\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States\"\u003eUSA\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"The best online health food store in the USA - Alive Herbals\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aliveherbals.com\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlive Herbals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWild Yam information (at a glance):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eWild Yam.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eDioscorea villosa.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eCountry of Origin\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eIt is native to North America and China.  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eIngredient\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eWild Yam Root.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eTaste and Aroma\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eBitter, astringent.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eShelf Life and Storage\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eShelf life is about 6–24 months.
