Wild Yam Root

Wild Yam Root (Dioscorea villosa)

Native to eastern North America, wild yam is a perennial climbing vine with a long history of traditional use in Indigenous North American herbalism and later in American folk herbal traditions. The bitter root is valued in herbal practice and is commonly prepared as a tea, tincture, or incorporated into custom botanical formulas. Our wild yam root is carefully dried to preserve its natural character and versatility.
