Valuable ingredients
The root of the wild yam contains a variety of active substances, including steroid saponins. The most prominent ingredient is diosgenin. This saponin is used in industrial production as a plant-based precursor for bioidentical hormones. The root is also rich in micronutrients such as potassium and copper, which are important for various metabolic functions. In combination with the saponins, this results in beneficial properties for the human organism.
Health benefits and application
In naturopathy, wild yam is particularly valued for its antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory effects. The root is often used to support the body during phases of hormonal changes and to regulate the hormone balance. Due to its ingredients, it is valued for promoting physical well-being and relaxation. Wild yam can also be used for gastrointestinal complaints or to support the digestive organs. It is available in various dosage forms, including capsules, tablets, creams or extracts. When administered, highly concentrated extracts are often used to ensure an adequate supply of diosgenin. It is reported that certain applications require a certain amount of time to be fully effective. The root is also used as part of a balanced diet in African cuisine, although the wild variety must be distinguished from the commercially available edible yam.
Instructions for use
Although yam is generally considered safe, it should not be used during pregnancy, breastfeeding or in children. Reactions may occur in individual cases when taking food supplements, which is why a consultation may be advisable. Overall, yam is a versatile plant for increasing vitality.
