The plant that produces the Wild Yam( Dioscorea spp) is a vine which has spade or heart shaped leaves. It is widely distributed and grows across the midwestern and eastern United States, Mexico, and Asia. Several different species exist. The large root or tuber is used for food and medicine in many parts of the world. Its important to note that the name ?yam? often causes confusion, since this plant is not the same as the sweet potato. Indigenous cultures often turn to Wild Yam to help balance female hormones*.

In the early 1900?s, the compounds known as Diosogenin and Botogenin were discovered by Japanese researchers and isolated from the wild yam. These substances are classified as steroidal saponins, also known as phytosterols, and were actually the source of hormones that were used by pharmaceutical companies as a starting compound. * Historically, when the whole wild yam extract (Barbasco or Mexican) was given to women who were menopausal, balance was restored *.

In the case of wild yam, as with many all natural herbal substances, folklore supports the fact that women have always respected the healing virtues of the giant yam as a hormone balancer, and have also used wild yam as a nutritious food.

Ginkgo Biloba trees are the world?s oldest living trees. Some have lived as long as 1,000 years. What makes them even more of an oddity in nature is the fact that they are a single species with no known living relatives

In 1859, Charles Darwin referred to the Ginkgo Biloba tree as the oldest living fossil. It appeared on the landscape during the Carboniferous period and was common in Asia, Europe and America. When the dinosaurs disappeared, it was thought that the Ginkgo Biloba tree did, too.

However, it was found in Japan in 1691, by a German physician and botanist, Engelbert Kaempfer. Apparently monks had cultivated the tree since the 1100?s and the seeds made it to Japan and Korea. It wasn?t until the 18th century that the Ginkgo seeds were brought to Europe and America, and years later the Ginkgo Biloba tree became a favorite of Architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

The longevity of the Ginkgo tree isn?t its only outstanding attribute. The health benefits of Ginkgo have been known for centuries. In fact, it?s one of the most studied herbal supplements.
