What is the difference between Wild Yam cream and Natural Progesterone?
Wild Yam cream is not natural progesterone, and that it is important to understand this. There is a common but completely erroneous belief that the yam contains progesterone. It does not, nor can the skin make progesterone from yam, whether taken by mouth or rubbed into the skin. Yam creams do indeed contain the herbal wild yam extract, which has been shown to have an oestrogenic effect on breast epithelial tissue. If it is a natural progesterone cream you are wanting to use then you can order it direct from Wellsprings Trading Ltd, please see above. Leslie suggests you get hold of a copy of a new book on the thyroid called Solved: The Riddle of Illness by Stephen E Langer MD and James F Scheer which is published by Keats in the USA. It is the next generation of work on the natural treatment of thyroid disorders.
