Wild Yam Root - Cut & Sifted

Wild Yam, also known as Colic Root, is a perennial vine with a long history of use by indigenous peoples of North and Central America. It is also poorly understood, even today. Although the plant contains diosgenin, a compound used to make the first birth control pills, it cannot be converted to progesterone without the assistance of a lab technician so it is not biologically active in the body.

The dried wild yam root is used to produce decoctions and tinctures, as well as infusions for topical use.
