DESCRIPTION: Wild yam is a climbing vine that is native to Central and North America and some parts of Asia. Although the heart-shaped leaves have a vanilla scent, it is the bitter root that is targeted for harvest. In contrast to other yams, however, wild yam has a non-edible, fibrous and knotted rhizome that is dried instead. Typical preparations of wild yam root include decoction or maceration as a liquid extract. Oftentimes wild yam is incorporated into multi-herbal formulations.
CAUTION: Do not use this herb if you have a history of a hormone-driven condition or if you are pregnant or nursing.
