Menopause & FAQ

How much Wild Yam Root is in the Wild Yam Cream?

Our Wild Yam Cream is made using a traditional slow-infusion method rather than added extracts. Wild Yam Root is the main herb, blended with a variety of other supportive herbs & botanicals that work together to help the body and mind through all stages of menopause and hormone imbalance.

The herbal blend makes up around 35% of the formula. Each herb is slowly infused at low heat for an extended period, then carefully blended and strained to create a potent, nutrient-rich infusion. This process allows the natural properties of the herbs to fully release into the oils and butters, resulting in a rich, effective cream that nourishes and supports the skin.

Because this method uses whole herbs rather than measured extracts, the exact milligrams of Wild Yam per gram of cream can’t be precisely determined, but the result is a powerful, well-balanced herbal formulation.

I'm in my late fifties and 5 years ago I had a partial hysterectomy due to very large fibroids. Would your wild yam cream be suitable for me to rebalance my hormones from the estrogen dominance or does it increase estrogen?

Our Wild Yam Cream contains a blend of natural plant extracts including Wild Yam (diosgenin), Chaste Tree Berry, Red Clover & Black Cohosh. These botanicals are traditionally used to help support the body’s natural hormonal balance, particularly by influencing progesterone activity. Because progesterone plays a key role in maintaining balance between hormones like estrogen, this gentle support may assist in promoting overall hormonal harmony.

While the cream does not contain hormones or directly increase estrogen, many women find it a helpful, natural option for supporting balance and wellbeing through menopause and beyond. 

Can I safely use Wild Yam Cream while taking bio-identical progesterone if I’m unable to use estrogen HRT?


Yes. Wild Yam Cream is hormone-free and can be used alongside bio-identical progesterone. While wild yam contains diosgenin, a plant compound that mimics estrogen’s effects, it does not act as or convert to estrogen in the body.

Can teenage girls use Wild Yam Cream?

Can Wild Yam Cream interact with other medications I'm on?

Wild Yam Cream is applied topically and does not contain hormones, so interactions are unlikely. However, since everyone’s health and medications differ, we always suggest checking with your healthcare professional before introducing any new product, especially if you’re taking prescribed medication or managing a health condition.

Can your Wild Yam Cream help for other conditions?

Wild Yam Cream is a natural, plant-based blend that includes Wild Yam (diosgenin), Chaste Tree Berry, Red Clover, Ashwagandha, and Chamomile.
