but why does an herb by the name of maca want to jump out off my fingers when i read ur post? dont know what it does or anything about it really. hope they answer ur question better than i ever could.good luck
Jelly -- it sounds like you feel that wild yam is really important to your program, is that right? I am thinking about adding it to my program too.
Now, wild yam is a progesterone herb, but I know that you had a lot of success with the estrogenic herbs too, like fenugreek (congratulations, by the way, you are an inspiration!). So that reinforces the idea to me that we actually need plenty of BOTH progesterone and estrogenic herbs.
Bummer, I can't help you here, hun. Lately I've been researching about specificly NBE related actions of herbs, but wild yam is one that I haven't got the answer about yet.
wild yam is a phytoprogesterone others(not as strong) are ladies mantle (alchemilla vulgaris), stoneseed (lithosperma ruderal), and windflower(anemone pulastilla) i have no idea where to find them they just listed them as alternatives.
wow overload !!!! thankyou for all the input ladies !!! Diane yes its funny I dont know that much about maca but it did come to mind this morning could it be yam ? wish Id thought of it in the health shop! Corrie I belive it was extremely important in both my routines< for me its the combination that im using thats working . Im not a herbalist I only know what works for me !! thankyou girls more info welcome love jellyDeee...
A yam has been described as similar to a potato, whereas Maca has been compared to a turnip. I'm not sure if their actions in the body are the same, as I've never seen any suggestion that they work in the same way.
