T O P I C R E V I E WKeirraWI have been using wild yam for a number of years, mainly for PMS, and now for menopause which has hit me, aaaahhh! It is a wonderful herb/root. More info: http://www.vortexhealth.net/wild_yam.html http://www.herbal-supplement-resource.com/wild-yam-root.html LEXXI have some in my freezer.Was not sure how to use it.Thank you.KeirraWI hear some say they love the wild yam cream. I am such a lazy sod, so I take the tablet form. Sometimes when I am ratty, Hubby says, take a double dose, you will be twice as nice, ha ha! Oh dear, the poor men!pandacakeIs wild yam the same as the blue ones?Hmmm love blue yam! You can make delicious steamed yam cake with it. I did read somewhere it has abortifacient or contraceptive properties though, I only don't know to what extent. LEXXAll I can find is the raw dried root form from a mail order herb company.No,it is NOT the same as other yams. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioscorea_villosa It grows wild here and in fact in my backyard is a bit of it.More from The American Cancer Society: http://www.cancer.org/Treatment/TreatmentsandSideEffects/ComplementaryandAlternativeMedicine/HerbsVitaminsandMinerals/wild-yam More about the many species. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/970.html KeirraWGee, I didn't know there is a blue yam! Seen a blue frog at the Zoo here in Pta, must say it was too cute! I cannot speak enough about the wonderful properties of wild yam. Put it this way, I will go without my brooks, but NOT my wild yam! Thanks Lexx for the added info!pandacakeThank you Lexx for the links and for clearing up the confusion. I always thought it was the same. My mom has rather severe PMS, I think I will suggest this to her!@KeirraW: Frogs sure are funny/cute animals, my brother even wants them as pets. LEXXKeirraW & pandacake You're welcome!PS.I absolutely adore frogs and toads!
