Everything You Need to Know About Wild Yam Cream: Benefits for Hormone Balance
When it comes to supporting hormone health, wild yam cream has garnered attention for its potential benefits for both women and men. Whether you’re dealing with hormonal imbalance, low libido, or carry a risk for certain cancers, wild yam cream could be your new ally. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about this incredible natural remedy.
Benefits for Women and Men
Hormone Balance
Hormonal fluctuations can be a major source of discomfort for women—especially during menopause, perimenopause, or even just as a part of the menstrual cycle. Wild yam cream might help regulate these swings. One of its key components, diosgenin, is shown to assist in balancing progesterone levels in the body. This may help ease the symptoms of PMS, irregular cycles, or the more intense hormonal shifts associated with menopause. It may also offer relief from hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness.
By stimulating the body’s natural production of progesterone, wild yam can help balance testosterone levels, leading to a host of benefits for men of all ages. For men experiencing fatigue, low energy, or diminished focus, wild yam cream may help restore balance. As progesterone levels rise, testosterone levels may stabilize, helping you to feel more energized, control weight, decrease symptoms of erectile dysfunction AND support an overall healthy libido.
Protection Against Cancer
Research on wild yam root extract (WYE) has shown that it might help fight breast cancer, especially in two types: hormone receptor-positive and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). It works by changing the way certain genes are turned on or off, which can stop cancer cells from growing. It can also make the cancer cells more harmful to themselves, slow them down, and block a substance (fatty acid synthase) that helps cancer cells grow.

Who should NOT use wild yam cream:
While wild yam cream offers numerous benefits for many people, there are certain groups who should avoid using it. It’s important to consider these factors before incorporating the cream into your routine.
Pregnant Women
If you are pregnant, do not use wild yam cream. Wild yam contains compounds that may affect hormonal levels, which can be a concern during pregnancy. Always consult your healthcare provider before using any new products while pregnant.
Those on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), Progesterone, or Progestins
Wild yam works by stimulating progesterone production in the body. If you are using HRT, progesterone, or progestins, it’s essential to avoid using wild yam cream. Combining these could potentially cause hormone imbalances. Speak with your healthcare provider to ensure the safety and compatibility of any hormone-based treatments you’re using.
Individuals on Birth Control
If you are currently using birth control, it’s advisable not to use wild yam cream. The hormonal effects of the cream could interfere with the effectiveness of your birth control. Always check with your doctor if you’re unsure.
How to Use Our Wild Yam Cream
We suggest a cycle-based approach to using
Retta’s Wild Yam Cream
for the best results.
Here’s a simple guide on how to incorporate it into your routine:
For Women:
The First Day of Your Period is Day 1: From Day 1 to Day 7, do not apply the cream.
Day 8 to Day 28: Start applying a pea sized amount in the morning and evening. Alternate between areas like the neck, décolletage, breasts, inner arms, belly, and inside of the thighs.
Irregular Cycle/Perimenopausal: If you're unsure of your cycle, count the first day of use as Day 8. Apply the cream morning and night until Day 28, then take a break from Day 1 to Day 7, and restart the cycle from Day 8.
Menopausal/Postmenopausal Women: Create your own cycle. Mark the first day you use the cream as Day 8. Apply twice daily until Day 28, then take a 7-day break and repeat.
For Men:
Wild yam cream can be used daily without any cycling. Apply the cream in the morning and evening to help balance hormone levels and support overall wellness.
