Yams Root: Anti-inflammatory Natural Remedy
Yams root is a plant genus belonging to the yam family (Dioscoreaceae). It is primarily native to tropical and subtropical regions and is one of the natural remedies believed to have anti-inflammatory effects and alleviate menopausal symptoms.
The root contains a particularly high amount of the active ingredient "diosgenin." This is a precursor to the natural hormone progesterone, which can be derived from it. Diosgenin is said to have a harmonizing effect on the female hormonal balance and thus positively counteract menopausal complaints.
