Wild Yam Cream
We are so happy to introduce you to our very own Wild Yam Cream with the addition of Chaste Tree Berry.
Wild yam, scientifically known as Dioscorea villosa, contains diosgenin, a compound that can be converted in a laboratory into progesterone, a hormone crucial for regulating various bodily functions. While wild yam does not directly increase progesterone levels when applied topically or consumed orally, it may offer indirect support by promoting overall endocrine system health and helping to harmonize hormone levels.
For women, wild yam cream has been traditionally used to alleviate menstrual irregularities, PMS symptoms, and menopausal discomforts. In men, it may aid in balancing testosterone levels and supporting prostate health.
Although research is still ongoing, many individuals find wild yam cream beneficial for promoting hormonal equilibrium and overall well-being.
Chaste tree berry, also known as Vitex agnus-castus or simply Vitex, has long been revered for its potential therapeutic benefits, particularly in supporting hormonal balance and women's reproductive health. This herb acts on the pituitary gland, helping to regulate the production of various hormones, including prolactin and progesterone. Due to its hormone-regulating properties, chaste tree berry has been traditionally used to address menstrual irregularities, PMS symptoms, and menopausal discomforts. It is often sought after by women seeking natural alternatives to hormone replacement therapy or synthetic hormones.
Additionally, chaste tree berry may offer benefits for men by potentially aiding in balancing testosterone levels and supporting prostate health. While research on chaste tree berry's efficacy is ongoing, many individuals find it beneficial in promoting hormonal equilibrium, reproductive health, and overall well-being.
As with any natural remedy, it's important to consult with healthcare professionals before incorporating wild yam cream into a health regimen, especially for those with specific health concerns or taking medications.
