Wild yam has been used for centuries as a remedy for menstrual pain and complications associated with child bearing.

It contains an alkaloid agent that relaxes the muscles of the entire abdominal region. Consequently, it is often helpful for women experiencing menstrual cramps and nausea associated with pregnancy.

This herb is supposed to contain progesterone-like properties for women undergoing menopause. This is still being tested.
