Wild Yam (wildcrafted) — 2 oz

Wild Yam Root is a cut and sifted bulk herb made from the tuber/root of Dioscorea villosa. Also known as Colic Root, wild yam is a perennial vine with a long history of traditional use among Indigenous peoples of North and Central America.

This dried wild yam root is commonly used in herbal decoctions, tinctures, and topical infusions. Because roots are firmer than leafy herbs, wild yam is usually prepared by simmering rather than simply steeping.

Wild yam root has an earthy, rooty, slightly bitter profile and can be used in traditional herbal preparations, home apothecary projects, and DIY body care recipes.
