Faith and Grace Organics Wild Yam Cream for Women, Organic Hormone Balancing, PMS, Menopause & Perimenopause- 2 oz

I wanted to wait a while to share a review to give the cream a true test—at this time I've been using Faith & Grace's wild yam cream for three months. I just finished my first jar exactly at the 3-month mark to give you an idea of how long a jar lasts. I'm nearly 54 and had been suffering for the past few years of horrible hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, poor sleep due to so many night sweats each night, and probably a host of other things related to menopause. I just didn't want to start some hormonal treatment and when I heard Barbara O'Neill mention "wild yam cream" as a help to those with menopause, I was super skeptical of another scammy product that never delivers. But reading the reviews here for Faith & Grace, I couldn't believe how it was helping women my age with hot flashes and night sweats! I thought it was worth a shot because I was so miserable. I will say that it took me nearly 2.5 months before I really saw any change at all. A friend who is nine years younger and likely in perimenopause saw results almost immediately in fewer hot flashes, better sleep, better mood, and less inflammation. But for me I just didn't notice much of anything for quite a while—my levels were probably much more depleted given the severity of my symptoms. I want to encourage others in menopause to stick with it for several months because all of a sudden, my hot flashes seemed to almost be gone entirely and those that I had were with far less severity. Within another week, I had nearly zero hot flashes or night sweats and started getting quality sleep for the first time in a very long time. I am so deeply thankful for this cream!!! It's gives you your quality of life back! My only slight dislikes about this cream is that it is sort of greasy (although good ingredients) and it doesn't have a highly pleasant smell (but totally tolerable to me and something I hardly think about at this point—it dissipates quickly). The thing is: it works!!! I will tolerate greasy and the scent for something that's safe and actually works for me! The wild yam cream helps your body to produce its own progesterone, but the cream also includes some other ingredients that help promote a balanced estrogen production. Nothing massive, but seems to be balancing out my depleted system. I saw some new menopause drug advertised on the news tonight that's $625/mo and has side effects. It isn't purported to do anything more than what this cream actually does. No thanks! This cream has high-quality ingredients and a concentration level of wild yam that makes a difference. Many other brands I scoured the reviews for didn't seem to have the success rate. I also tried Moonmaid brand for about three days because it smells nicer and absorbs immediately, but my hot flashes came back each day I used it and when I went back to Faith & Grace, the hot flashes left. (The same thing happened to my friend when she tried Moonmaid. Perhaps one has to use more MM than F&G to get the same benefit.) I will stick with Faith & Grace and recommend it. I found that my body more quickly absorbs the F&G if I apply it to bare skin (no other lotions) right after a shower when my skin is still warm—I apply it to my belly or chest or wrists. If you have hot flashes or night sweats and other menopausal symptoms, run to get a jar of this stuff! (If you are already taking some treatment, you might ask your doctor so you aren't getting too much of something.) This is a little miracle in a 2oz glass jar!!

I think it smells nice and earthy and applies well into the skin. It is a little greasy but not terribly so. I would be careful about leaving it in a hot place like I accidentally did because it gets lumpy. It is still usable and I have noticed it makes a difference in my period pain. It goes a long way and I have had it over year.

Love the product, but it came in the mail in the middle of the summer and was sitting in my mailbox completely melted. I still used it after it rehardened but was pretty disappointed about that.

I am a 49 year old woman that was dealing with some serious menopause symptoms. I was so tired of the sleepless nights tossing and turning with night sweats followed by hot flashes all day long. I read about the benefits of wild yam cream and gave it a try. At first I used the NOW brand. It helped reduce my hot flashes by 70%, but it was super messy. It was a cream and way too much came out. It was so hard to rub in. And after several months, it quit working, and the hot flashes came back. I found Faith and Grace Wild Yam cream here on Amazon and thought I'd give it a try. To my absolute surprise it worked so well. One peas size dab, instead of a hug glop like the NOW brand, 2 times a day and my hot flashes have been completely banished! I sleep all night long now...no more night sweats. I do not take anything else for my menopause symptoms. I just use this cream and it works phenomenally well. The consistency is like coconut oil when it solidifies (or beef tallow if you are familiar with that). It rubs completely into the skin very quickly. It has a delicate, pleasant odor that quickly disappears. This cream is an amazing value. One jar is going to last a long time. I estimate one jar to last 10 months to a year, making it a fantastic value. I am so pleased with the wild yam cream that I share the name and link with all of my friends. I will continue to purchase it.

Great product, but stinks. I've been wearing this at night. I put it on my lower body and then quickly get into bed and pull the covers up to trap the smell. There's no way I could wear this during the day. Thankfully I found it in unscented! As for menopause symptoms, I really believe it's helping. I seem to sleep better and have fewer, less intense night sweats. I've been taking one week off like the directions say, and eagerly await getting to use it again.

I’ve used this for about 1.5 years now. I really really wanted it to work for hormone health and to help me balance out. It did not. I don’t think it is any issue with the brand but it just did not work for me sadly. The cream did not smell bad and it goes on well. I have used it according to the instructions on the jar and it has lasted months.

After using this for one week, I already see a difference with my perimenopause symptoms. I heard about wild yam for menopause from Barbara Oneill on Instagram.The smell is not strong or harsh. It's kinda calming to my senses when I apply it. I have more energy, less brain fog, and I am sleeping better with having longer runs of sleep. I used to get up at least two times if not three times every night over a 5-6hr sleep. The cream is not too greasy, and it absorbs pretty quickly. You only use a pea sized amount so it will last a long time. I feel that's it's a good value compared to other brands out there and it works. A bonus for me was that it's made in the USA by a Christian company. I will definitely buy this again!

I purchased this product a few months ago in the hopes it would help alleviate menopausal symptoms. Firstly, I love the packaging and the company’s values. Secondly, I do wish the product smelled nicer - it has a clean smell upon application and it fades quickly - but maybe adding some type of essential oils for a more appealing scent could be considered. I didn’t feel as if the product helped my symptoms at first but after discontinuing use for a few weeks, and my symptoms reasserted themselves more strongly, I tried again. I found applying a little more product (about a dime size blob), twice per day, alleviated the flashes to a lesser degree and they were shorter duration. I’m a fan of natural remedies and I will purchase this product again.
