Indian Meadow Herbals Wild Yam Root Cream (2oz) - USDA Certified Organic Balancing Cream for PMS & Menopause Relief - Estrogen & Progesterone-Free. Woman-owned & Operated Since 1994.

I just received this wild yam cream today and am using for the first time this evening. I will update this post in a few weeks with how things are going. For today, I’d like to share how impressed I am with all of the info on the packaging and the security seal. This along with the great reviews has me very excited. Notice the security/safety seal is tucked under the label and runs completely over the lid. Awesome! 👍 The product is “hand made with love” 💗 in Minneapolis, MN USA 🇺🇸. It is certified organic. It has ingredients that I understand and recognize with wild yam root being the 3rd ingredient. There is no Estrogen or Progesterone in the cream. This is very important to me. It is also Gluten free. Not important to me, but I do appreciate that this is on the label because I know it is extremely important to many people who have Gluten allergies. Rather than an expiration date, there is a production date on the box and the jar. The consistency of the cream is light and not greasy. There is a scent of which I can’t describe but it is not unpleasant. After a few minutes I can barely smell it on my fingers and don’t smell it floating around me. Though my Labrador is curious about what the new scent is on my fingers. The cream leaves my skin soft. The creator of this product has done everything spot on in my opinion. So stand by for my edit in a few weeks when I share how my night sweats go. 😅 UPDATE 12/23/24 - I have been using this yam cream for about 8 weeks now. My hot flashes & night sweats are better but not gone. I am keeping in mind that it is winter and where I live it gets very cold and we use a pellet stove to warm our home. So it’s possible that my husband keeps our home warmer than he should in an effort to keep me warm. (Not needed, dear) I believe the yam cream works, but it is not a 100% fix for me. I don’t know that there is a 100% fix for hot flashes. I like this cream. I think it’s worth a try if you are looking for a hot flash fix. It might be your fix.

I’ve been Perimenopause for years. I consider myself menopause because the last 3 years, I get close to a full year, then have one tiny bit of spotting and have to start the count all over again. When this all first started I thought I was going insane. All of the sudden, I was jealous- what?!?! I was irritable, all dried up and was having hot flashes. I also was not able to fast anymore as my cortisol was spiked constantly.(Used my Lumen device to tell me this). I gained freaking weight - especially around my middle- and could notice a difference in my thigh muscles that I was losing muscle- CRAP. I did some deep dive researching- studying various books on women’s cycles, etc I experimented with adding various natural supplements- Maca helped but was a wild ride for a minute- played with my libido to an annoying degree for a month before settling down. I found an oral supplement for menopause that had a big assortment of reputed hormone balancers and it has worked for me for years. I always take a week off of all supplements so my body doesn’t adapt to them and they would lose their effectiveness! I had bought this cream a year and a half ago and have used it to help when a ‘SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION’ HOT FLASH wakes me up in a panic. I sleep warm anyway- my sweet husband buried under layers of covers where as I have a top sheet and a bamboo sheet- with my arms out in the winter. That’s when this cream comes in to play. I guesstimate a half teaspoon and put it on my inner thighs( my least favorite spot now that my thighs touch) or my inner arms, and belly rotating. It works within a few days and I keep doing it until a month has passed and then take a break. This works for me very well. I’ve only used it once a day- not twice, like some yam products recommend. I know some people think this is a placebo, but it is NOT placebo for me- it is an excellent tool in my arsenal. I am extremely grateful to not wake up in a panic and have to go stand on the cold stone tile in my bathroom a few times a night. I prefer all natural products because I believe our bodies are miracles and that food (herbals etc) can be thy medicine.

I have been using this product as a way at to naturally balance my hormones since having a hysterectomy a few years ago. I love ut to much that I buy it for all of my friends going through menopause and perimenopause. It seems to keep my mood swings in check, I have very few hot flashes, and helps with dryness. I have tried several sweet yam creams and this is the best by far. I even put it on my face as a lotion! It goes on to my face a little thick, but seems to soak in quickly. Biggest con is the price, but it it worth it to me since I feel so much better when using it.

I had heard so much hype about Wild Yam root, and after my hysterectomy, I wanted to start using something before the inevitable changes began. This product is wonderful! You do not have to use much, and a year after my hysterectomy, I experienced minimal symptomology of perimenopause/menopause. I will continue to use this product to manage hot flashes and mood swings, and to maintain my skin health.

Game changer! took away night sweats, and mood swings. I believe it’s also helped with my period length making it less days. Love this stuff! 42 year old, athletic woman workout 5-6 days a week.

The cream sat in my mailbox in the heat before I was able to get to it so it was a melted liquid when I opened the package. I let it cool and it's kinda waxy now instead of a creme. You can definitely tell there's different oils and beeswax in it. It still spread easily and rubs into the skin well. I was really expecting it to take a week or so before I saw any results l, but the results were almost immediate. I've been using it for well over a week and I haven't had a 3am wakeup since I started. The emotional roller coaster seems to have gotten better, too. I usually only have hot flashes during the night if I drink quite a few, but it's even helped with that. I never would have thought I would have this kind of result from something like this, but it's been great. Just the sleeping better has been worth it. I sometimes still get up to use the bathroom during the night, but I'm able to go right back to sleep afterwards. I also noticed I have my energy back. My energy had really diminished, but I'm back to my old self again. It's just a small jar, but the recommended amount is 1/2-1tsp, so a jar should last around a month. Absolutely worth every penny!

This stuff is extremely greasy on my skin. Doesn't absorb, just lays on top and shines. Doesn't compare to the yam cream I bought 2 years ago (that has apparently been discontinued, go figure). I wont buy this again.

I tell everyone about the life changing effects that Yam cream has had on my life. Ever since i can remember I have had a 26 day cycle and in the past 2-3 years it has gotten shorter even down to 21 days. A 21 day cycle is the worst, you have no good weeks 🙃. But Yam cream changed all that! I have had a 28 day cycle for the past 4 months. I have been using this cream for maybe 8 months and it has changed my life. My mood swings are minimal compared to what they once were. My cramping is considerably less than it has been before. There have been so many beneficial things that have happened to me and to my friends and family who have tried it. It doesn’t have a smell to it, it feels good on my skin and I use it daily and will continue to share how it has changed everything for me. My husband thanks you 😉
