Understanding Phytoestrogens: The Role of Diosgenin in Menopause

If you’ve ever looked into natural remedies for menopause, you’ve probably come across wild yam creams. These creams are often touted for their potential to balance hormones, ease hot flashes, and even improve skin elasticity. The magic ingredient that helps achieve all of this is Diosgenin—a naturally occurring steroidal sapogenin found in plants like wild yam.

While it sounds complicated, the concept is pretty simple: diosgenin is believed to promote the body’s own production of certain hormones, making it a popular alternative for those looking to avoid synthetic hormone treatments.

The science behind all of this is still evolving, but what we do know is that diosgenin, along with other phytoestrogens, has a long history in traditional medicine. It has been used for everything from treating arthritis to boosting bone health. Today, it’s found in skincare products for menopausal women who want to manage menopause naturally. Let's find out why.

Wild yam cream is a natural way to manage the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause

Diosgenin acts as a phytoestrogen—a plant-based compound that mimics estrogen. With your body’s natural estrogen levels dipping during menopause, wild yam cream offers a potential way to restore some hormonal balance, and that could mean significant relief from those bothersome symptoms. 

This is particularly helpful with common menopause symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats. These sudden heat surges can make day-to-day life frustrating, and wild yam cream may work to stabilise your estrogen levels, calming those erratic temperature spikes. It can also target mood swings, vaginal dryness, and even that feeling of low energy, making you feel a bit more like yourself again.

Another interesting aspect of wild yam cream is its versatility beyond menopause relief. Some users report benefits like improved blood circulation and even reduced inflammation, which is particularly helpful as your body ages and becomes more prone to aches and pains.  

Applying the cream directly to your skin means it’s absorbed into your bloodstream, where diosgenin can help your body naturally produce more of the hormones it’s been lacking. Whether it’s estrogen or progesterone, the idea is that wild yam helps your body kickstart its own hormone production process. While it’s not a substitute for hormone replacement therapy, it’s a gentler, plant-based option for those looking to avoid synthetic treatments.

Using Camelife's wild yam cream as part of your daily routine

For gentle, natural relief from menopause symptoms, hormonal imbalances, and even premenstrual tension, our soothing cream can be applied as follows:

1. Apply a small amount of the cream—about half a teaspoon—and massage well into the chest, neck, breasts, abdomen, inner arms, or thighs.
2. A routine ensures your body gets a consistent dose of diosgenin, the active ingredient helping to regulate your hormones around the clock.
3. Massage the cream into areas where your skin is thinner and more sensitive for optimal absorption.
4. To avoid overloading any one area of your skin, rotate where you apply the cream every few days. This helps maximise its effectiveness and prevents your skin from becoming too saturated in one spot, ensuring you get the best results. 

While you may begin to notice improvements in symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, or night sweats within a week or two, everyone’s body responds differently. For some, it may take a bit longer. Stay consistent with your application, and give your body the time it needs to adjust. Over time, you should experience a noticeable improvement.

You can continue using Camelife’s wild yam cream for as long as you feel it's helping with your menopause or hormone balance. If you’ve been applying it regularly for six months, it’s a good idea to take a short break—about a month—to give your body a chance to reset and allow for natural hormonal adjustment.

Boosting the benefits of wild yam cream

While wild yam cream can be helpful on its own, we often recommend combining it with a healthy lifestyle to enhance its effects. Eating a balanced diet, getting daily physical activity, and ensuring you're getting enough sleep all play important roles in naturally balancing your hormones.

Together with Camelife’s wild yam cream, these habits can make your menopause transition smoother and more comfortable. Your daily wellness routine should be a proactive, natural approach to a hormonal balance that works with your body’s rhythms. Above all, it should also make you feel good and be easy to use. Camelife products, as an example of one form of treatment, are designed to offer exactly that.
