Wild Yam Root (Dioscorea villosa)

Overview

Wild yam root is a perennial plant native to North America and Central America. It has been traditionally used for centuries in herbal medicine, particularly for women's health, digestive issues, and inflammation. The root contains compounds called diosgenin, which is a phytoestrogen precursor that has been studied for its potential effects on hormone regulation.
