What Is Menopause?

Menopause is a natural biological transition that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. It occurs when the ovaries stop releasing eggs and the production of key hormones — estrogen and progesterone — significantly declines. As a result, menstrual cycles stop, and fertility gradually decreases.

The journey into menopause begins with a stage called perimenopause, which can start as early as a woman’s late 30s or early 40s. This transitional phase can last several years and is often marked by fluctuating hormone levels, leading to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms such as hot flushes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and changes in skin health.

Understanding this natural shift is key to finding the right menopause support. At Modani Naturals, we’re here to help women embrace this phase with natural, hormone-free wellbeing and skincare solutions formulated to nurture the skin, body, and mind.

Modani Naturals Wild Yam Cream – Natural Menopause Support

Modani Naturals Wild Yam Cream is a carefully formulated natural skincare solution designed to support women during menopause and perimenopause. This herbal topical cream may help ease some of the common discomforts associated with hormonal changes, including dry skin, mood swings, and hot flushes.

The key ingredient, infused Wild Yam Root extract, is naturally rich in phytoestrogens — plant-based compounds that is said to mimic the effects of estrogen in the body. As estrogen levels decline during menopause, phytoestrogens may provide gentle, hormone-free support to help restore balance and promote well-being.

Crafted with plant-based, hormone-free, and petrochemical-free ingredients, our Wild Yam Cream offers a soothing, non-invasive way to care for your skin and body during life’s natural transitions.

How to use

For menopause support

You can begin using Wild Yam Cream at any point in your routine. For best results, it’s important to apply the cream consistently 2-3 times per day, even after you start feeling better. Regular use is key to its effectiveness.

Apply the cream three times daily: in the morning, afternoon, and early evening. Each application should be approximately 1/2 teaspoon. You can split this amount into smaller portions for targeted areas.

For targeted application, use about 1/4 teaspoon on each inner arm, wrists, or on each side of the crease of your neck. 1/4 teaspoon is roughly the size of the back of your pinky fingernail. Massage the cream gently into the skin and enjoy the soothing sensation and calming natural fragrance. Allow it to absorb briefly before dressing.

If you need a top-up during the day, simply dab a small amount onto your wrists. For on-the-go convenience, check out our new 40g size, perfect for easy top-ups throughout the day.

For PERI/PMS

If you are new to using this Wild Yam Cream, to simplify the process, start the cream when your period stops. Then apply (see above) twice daily, mornings and early evening, for PERI/PMS support and break again during your period. Start the process again when your period stops.

Dab a small amount onto your wrists in the afternoon if needed to calm an oncoming hot flush.

What to expect:

Based on my own experience (I'm menopausal) and genuine testimonials, hot flashes and night sweats may start to decrease and become less severe and frequent within a week or two. For some people it may take longer, and up 3-4 months/or cycles for severe cases.

  • You may also notice that your flushes become less intense, or they stop before reaching their peak.
  • You may notice mental clarity, focus and concentration may start to improve. 
  • Some possible benefits are better sleep quality, increased energy and enhanced mood.
  • Many women report that their hot flashes, being the most common symptom of menopause decrease in severity, less frequent and are less intense. Please note it's rare that they cease altogether. If they have stopped for you completely, then you are one of the lucky ones! 

Ingredients

What’s in the Wild Yam Cream?

We use a blend of premium Ayurvedic herbs (up to 35%) with Wild Yam Root as the primary active ingredient.

Wild yam root (Dioscorea villosa) is rich in diosgenin, a phytoestrogen and natural precursor to DHEA, a hormone that regulates testosterone and estrogen. Traditional healers have used wild yam for centuries to help balance women’s hormones, potentially impacting overall well-being.

Other key ingredients included that work in synergy with Wild Yam Root:

  • Chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus): Supports menstrual health and balances estrogen and progesterone.
  • Red clover (Trifolium pratense): Rich in isoflavones, helps regulate menopausal symptoms.
  • Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): Calms the mind, reduces stress, enhances focus, and promotes heart health.
  • Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus): Balances hormones, regulates menopausal symptoms, and enhances female health.
  • Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa): Manages menopause symptoms and improves hormonal balance.
  • Chamomile: Calms and aids sleep.

These potent herb infusions are then blended into a natural base as per below.

Base ingredients:

  • Plant oils: Infused in olive, grapeseed, apricot, and jojoba oils for maximum therapeutic properties.
  • Shea, Cocoa, and Mango Butters: Create a balanced, non-greasy base.
  • Coconut oil: Moisturizes and locks in moisture.
  • Castor oil: Moisturising and enhances the absorption of the herbs.  It also has antibacterial properties and high in antioxidants.
  • Beeswax: Attracts moisture and provides a stable base.
  • Arrowroot powder: Reduces greasiness for a smooth texture.
  • Essential Oils: Lavender, Rose Geranium, and Cedarwood for relaxation and stress reduction.
  • Vitamin E: Antioxidant that stabilizes the product and moisturizes the skin.

This cream is waterless, so no preservatives are used in the formulation. Shelf life is 6-9 months or possibly longer if correctly stored. One tin should last approximately 3 months with regular daily use. 

It's best stored in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight under 28 degrees. 

How does it work?

Wild Yam Cream from Modani Naturals is designed to be applied to areas of your skin that are thinner, like your neck, inner upper arms, and wrists, which allows for easy absorption. The key ingredient, Wild Yam Root, contains a compound called diosgenin. This compound is thought to be absorbed through the skin, where it may act like a plant-based version of estrogen, known as a phytoestrogen.

Phytoestrogens are plant compounds that resemble estrogen, the hormone that plays a key role in many functions in our body. When diosgenin enters the skin, it can interact with estrogen receptors in your body, which may help balance your hormone levels. Specifically, diosgenin has been shown to bind to receptors in the hypothalamus, an area of the brain that helps control hormone regulation. This interaction may help reduce symptoms related to menopause and premenstrual syndrome (PMS), such as hot flashes and mood swings, by supporting the body's natural hormone regulation.

In simple terms, Wild Yam Cream can help your body manage hormone imbalances, offering a more natural approach to dealing with some of the discomforts that come with hormonal changes.

*See FAQ regarding information on the safety of Wild Yam Cream for certain medical conditions. If in doubt, always see your medical practitioner before using. 

PLEASE NOTE: Even though this menopause cream is gentle, completely natural and contains no preservatives, some people may still experience a reaction to the herbs, essential oils or other ingredients. Patch test first. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs. 

A quick note: If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, it's always best to check in with your healthcare provider before trying something new—just to be safe!
