Wild yam has been used by herbalists as an expectorant for people with coughs. It was also used for gastrointestinal upset, nerve pain and morning sickness. Eventually, it was discovered that the saponins from wild yam could be converted industrially into cortisone, estrogens, and progesterone-like compounds. Wild yam and other plants with similar constituents continue to be a source for these drugs.
Diosgenin found in Wild Yam is a phytoestrogen, and it closely resembles human progesterone. Due to this similarity, body reacts to it as if it were progesterone. Because they are not the same as human hormones, phytoestrogens are far less potent which results in slower effect but safer use. Phytoestrogens do not cause any side effects. Unlike estrogen which, when in excess, is associated with endometrial cancer, phytoestrogens do not evoke cell growth. After phytoestrogens get into the blood flow, they cause mild estrogenic effect. In other words, they 'draw the attention' of cell receptors and lock on them preventing real estrogen from producing significant and often undesirable effects. That is why women who suffer from PMS, cramping, menopausal discomfort will benefit from Wild Yam. Before the breast enlargement effect was discovered, Wild Yam had been used to treat these complaints for hundreds of years.
You may be interested in a product that is manufactured by TerraVita that is called Breast Enhancement Formula. This product was developed to help stimulate breast growth. It is a blend of herbal products including Wild Yam, Fenugreek and Saw Palmetto. Together, these herbs work their hardest to help provide satisfactory results.
Fenugreek seeds and sprouts have a centuries-old folk reputation as breast enlargers. In fact, 100 years ago the herb was a key ingredient in the original formula for Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a popular remedy for 'female troubles' - everything from menstrual pain to postmenopausal vaginal dryness. Fenugreek seeds contain a fair amount of diosgenin. While estrogen has many effects on the body, the two relate principally to breast enlargement. The hormone causes growth of breast cells and contributes to water retention. In fact, many women who take the Pill, which contains estrogen, for birth control often experience as a side effect the feeling of breast fullness caused by water retention. Plant estrogen (phytoestrogen) from sources like fenugreek does not lead to uncomfortable breast fullness.
The Saw Palmetto plant is best known these days for its ability to shrink an enlarged prostate gland in men. But a century ago, this herb was best known as a folk approach to breast enlargement. Naturopathic physicians continue to recommend it for this purpose.
In terms of any side effects that are associated with wild yam, some people may experience nausea or vomiting when taking large amounts of wild yam (several times the amount recommended for daily dosage). At this time, there are no known drug interactions regarding Wild Yam.
