Uses of Wild Yam:
Dioscorea has been promoted for the treatment of menstrual dysfunction, nausea in pregnancy, urinary tract infections, rheumatoid arthritis, cholera, nervous excitement, and gas expulsion. However, research reveals no clinical data regarding the use of wild yam for any condition.
Wild Yam Uses and Pharmacology:
The root of D. villosa is reported to be diaphoretic and expectorant in a dose of 4 g Much of the current herbal use of wild yam is predicated on the misconception that the diosgenin contained in the product can be converted by the human body into steroid hormones, particularly progesterone, through the intermediate dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). This notion appears to be based on diosgenin's use as a synthetic precursor of cortisone and of the steroids found in birth control pills. There is no scientific evidence to support the notion that diosgenin or dioscin can be converted by the body into human hormones.
Work with ginseng saponins has shown that metabolism by specific microbes in the gut can substantially enhance uptake of the metabolites into the body. Thus, one may postulate a similar mechanism of uptake with other, otherwise poorly absorbed plant saponins such as dioscin. Research needs to be done to understand the pharmacodynamics of saponin-containing plants in humans.
Topical formulations of Dioscorea are also poorly understood, though it is unlikely that they can serve as “progesterone replacement” vehicles. The sale of supplemental DHEA as an “anti-aging” product has carried over to Dioscorea by analogy. In fact, several products containing Dioscorea and DHEA are available.
