Wild Yam Extract , also known as colic root or Dioscorea villosa, is a tuberous vine that is native to both China and North America. Although each locale grows a different species of wild yam, both species contain diosgenin, the active ingredient in the plant. Traditionally, the wild yam has been used for a variety of ailments, ranging from menopausal issues to mild cramps, but modern research has shown mixed results as to its effectiveness. Consult with a qualified health practitioner before taking wild yam extract, particularly if you are taking any other medication.
In North America, Wild Yam Extract has traditionally been used to treat menstrual cramps, coughs, morning sickness, inflammation and problems related to childbirth, as well as colic and a variety of digestive issues. Similar uses abound in traditional Chinese medicine, with the additions of using the herb for its supposed anti-aging properties, as well as a treatment for urinary difficulties and lowering blood pressure.
The active ingredient in a plant is the part that actually affects the chemistry of the body. In Wild Yam Extract , that is diosgenin, which is a form of steroid. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, diosgenin can be synthesized to make progesterone, a key hormone in the reproductive cycle and one that is adversely affected during menopause. The first birth-control pills were created using diosgenin extracts. One of the problems, however, is that diosgenin has to be processed in a lab to create progestone; it cannot convert to progesterone naturally in the human body.
