Why Mexican Wild Yam & Chaste Tree Berry?
The World Today
We find ourselves living in a world where we are offered a ‘quick-fix’ for any ailment, issue, symptom or problem we may experience. Do these ‘quick-fixes’ come at a cost? As many of us wake up to this realisation, there may be a dawning that perhaps our grandparents and great-grandparents and beyond, were perhaps not primitive or backward, but rather, more connected and more in tune with what we as humans really need to live with good health and vitality.
The natural world around us offers everything we need to live with good health. Health educator, Barbara O’Neill states that the body, when given the right conditions, will heal itself. This is a mantra we strive to live by and what motivates us to produce natural products with benefits.
Gathered Blends Mexican Wild Yam Happy Hormone Cream contains premium Mexican Wild Yam and Chaste Tree Berry combined with quality skin nourishing ingredients. We use a CO2 extraction method which keeps the full spectrum potency of our top quality, natural ingredients.
A synergistic combination of traditional medicinal plants potentially offers more benefit than a single ingredient following the holistic principle of the whole being more powerful than the sum of its’ parts.
Scientific studies of combined plant medicine creams are noticeably lacking. The medical industry tends to support HRT and the contraceptive pill over natural alternatives. The limited single ingredient studies largely do not to support the idea of natural hormone creams offering benefits, however the large volume of anecdotal evidence is mostly positive and many users praise the natural alternatives for easing symptoms.
So why Mexican Wild Yam?
Mexican Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa) is rich in diosgenin, a plant compound that can help naturally, gently and effectively support the production and regulation of hormones in the body. Studies suggest diosgenin may have potential to fight cancer cells, is anti-inflammatory so may be useful in ailments such as arthritis, and could also reduce neural inflammation, useful in the fight against alzheimers and other brain degenerative diseases.
Traditionally Mexican Wild Yam has been used for women’s reproductive health including PMS relief, fertility and overall wellbeing. Recently there has been evidence to suggest that Mexican Wild Yam may also benefit blood sugar regulation, may fight cancer, may balance cholesterol and could reduce photoaging (pigmentation of the skin) .
Why Chaste Tree Berry?
Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex) has long been studied for its’ role in easing PMS symptoms, supporting hormonal balance, and increasing fertility. Many studies support the claim that women using chaste tree berry have alleviated menstrual headaches, hormonal acne and breast tenderness. As it regulates ovary cycles, it has also been claimed that chaste tree berry can support fertility.
