Posted by: Sina Ghaboussi | Jun 29, 2011
Wild yam, also known as Dioscorea villosa, is originally found in the US, Latin America (especially Mexico) and Asia. It is a twining, tuberous vine with small, greenish-white and greenish-yellow flowers with heart-shaped leaves. The root of wild yam is used medicinally. Traditionally herbalists used wild yam for cough, stomach upset or colic, inflammation, menstrual cramps and problems related to pregnancy.
