Wild Yam is a useful ingredient in glandular and hormone balancing formulas, and for the treatment of nausea in pregnant women. It has been used with success in the prevention of miscarriage, and for uterine cramping during the later weeks of pregnancy (Braxton Hicks contractions). Wild Yam is sometimes used as a remedy for painful menstruation, ovarian pain at mid-cycle, and for labor pains. Wild Yam, because it is strongly antispasmodic, is sometimes useful for the pain and cramping of gallstones, intestinal cramping, and for flatulence and colic.
