For the plant’s wider background, read our Wild Yam Herbal Information.

3. The botanical behind the tincture

Our herb guide discusses diosgenin, steroidal saponins, alkaloids, tannins and phytosterols in Wild Yam. Information about plant chemistry is not a promise about this product’s effects.

No measured amount of any individual constituent is stated for this tincture. Its 1:2 preparation ratio is not a measurement of those constituents or a statement of standardised constituent content. Research on isolated constituents or other preparations should not be assumed to apply to this finished tincture. Mentioning diosgenin does not establish that this product has hormonal effects.

4. Why root and rhizome?

Root and rhizome are the selected plant material for this preparation. Identifying the material clarifies what is extracted; it does not imply therapeutic superiority. Different plant parts should not be treated as interchangeable product descriptions. No relative proportions of root and rhizome are stated here.

5. A single-herb tincture

Wild Yam is the only herbal ingredient, rather than a blend of herbs. Alcohol and water form the extraction liquid.

The product lists these ingredients:

  • Organic Wild Yam Root (Dioscorea villosa)
  • Organic gluten-free alcohol
  • Filtered spring water

The wild yam material used is root and rhizome, as described in this guide.

6. Understanding the 1:2 ratio

Home Herbs Organic Wild Yam Tincture is prepared at a 1:2 ratio, as are all Home Herbs tinctures. This describes one part herbal starting material in relation to two parts extraction liquid, according to the production method.

This ratio describes preparation, not dosage or alcohol percentage. It does not prove that a tincture is stronger, better or more effective than one prepared at another ratio.

10. About Wild Yam
