Wild Yam

More than just a "women's" herb, Wild Yam is becoming more and more popular as a treatment for the pains of IBS or irritable bowel complaints. Wild Yam is a good herb to use as an anti-inflammatory as well as to treat liver and gallbladder issues.

Also, I agree. Soy products are used way too much.... Soy industry found a way to sell soybeans by promoting the health benefits. Again, a little is great but people go overboard with the use of Soy and reap the disadvantages.

Obviously, Wild Yam would increase estrogen levels in men but no man is going to be taking Wild Yam on a regular basis. It's main use is for female issues and to relieve the spasms of IBS symptoms. Good for Arthritis flare ups also. This is not an eating yam and will not be a regular part of the diet. There are MANY plants with natural sources of estrogen such as beans etc.... Just remember, everything in moderation - doesn't mean you can't use it. Also Hops are really high - no beer then.

Having a severe allergic reaction has occurred with just about ever plant product known, whether it was peanuts or shellfish. Wild plants are no different and there is always the potential for an allergic reaction. You also have to look at the fact that many companies put binders and fillers in their capsules and it is possible to have a reaction to those ingredients. Overall though, most people will never have a reaction to Wild Yam or Peanuts etc..... Do have to be careful though.
