Wild yam plants are found across the midwestern and eastern United States, Latin America (especially Mexico), and Asia. Several different species exist. All of which possess similar constituents and properties. The root is used medicinally. Wild yam has been used by herbalists as an expectorant for people with coughs. It was also used for gastrointestinal upset, nerve pain, and morning sickness.1 Eventually, it was discovered that the saponins from wild yam could be converted industrially into cortisone, estrogens, and progesterone-like compounds. Wild yam and other plants with similar constituents continue to be a source for these drugs.

As i was doing a little recent research on IBS-D, i found that a few people were giving this Wild Yam Root extract a try. I bought a bottle from a loc
...al Vitamin shoppe and tried it out. It's said to help stop or control spasms in the bowels and i do believe it has helped me. I also use Heather's tummy acacia fiber twice daily to keep me in check (for 3 years now.. it's a LIFE CHANGER), but the Wild Yam is a great addition. I'm glad i gave it a try. I love natural remedies over RX medications. This is my 2nd bottle. I use about 26 drops (added to any drink or even mix in with my oatmeal) twice a day. It doesn't taste good, but if added to the right drink or food you can't taste it at all. I've even added it to my coffee. ;) It lasts about a month depending on how much you use and how often.
