Tallow & Honey Wild Yam Balm

Product Description:
Discover the ultimate in natural care with our Tallow & Honey Wild Yam Balm, a versatile balm crafted to soothe, nourish, and support your skin and overall wellness.

At its core is 100% grass-fed beef tallow, rich in skin-loving vitamins A, D, K, and E, providing deep hydration and promoting a healthy skin barrier. We’ve enhanced this base with extra virgin olive oil infused with wild yam root, a traditional botanical known for its calming and supportive properties.

Wild yam root (Dioscorea villosa) has been traditionally used in natural wellness practices to support women's hormones. It contains a compound called diosgenin, a phytoestrogen that has been studied for its potential to mimic estrogen-like effects in the body. While it doesn’t convert directly into hormones, its properties can play a supportive role in overall hormone health. Here are some ways wild yam root may benefit women:

1. Menstrual Health Support

Wild yam root is believed to help alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal fluctuations, such as menstrual cramps and irregular cycles. By promoting a sense of balance, it may support smoother menstrual transitions.

2. Menopause Relief

For women experiencing menopause, wild yam root is often used to ease symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Its phytoestrogenic effects may help mimic the body's natural estrogen, offering relief during this life phase.

3. Supports Hormones

Wild yam root is thought to support the endocrine system, which regulates hormones in the body. This can be particularly beneficial for women needing hormonal support due to stress, age, or lifestyle factors.

4. Natural Skin Care Benefits

Hormonal imbalances can affect skin health, leading to dryness, acne, or other concerns. Wild yam root, when infused into skincare products, can provide soothing and nourishing benefits that align with hormonal skin needs.

While wild yam root is a natural option for supporting women’s hormones, it’s essential to remember that its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For therapeutic use, consulting a healthcare professional, especially if you’re managing specific hormonal concerns, is recommended.

When incorporated into balms or lotions, wild yam root provides a gentle, topical approach to supporting hormones while nourishing the skin.

Beeswax adds a protective layer to lock in moisture, while local honey brings gentle hydration and antimicrobial benefits to keep your skin soft and balanced. The blend is elevated with therapeutic-grade essential oils, including:

  • Copaiba for its soothing properties.
  • Frankincense to enhance skin elasticity and radiance.
  • Cedarwood for its grounding, calming scent.
  • Bergamot for a touch of brightness and balance.
  • Peppermint for a refreshing and cooling sensation.
  • Clove for its invigorating and warming effects.

This balm is designed to care for your skin while offering an aromatic and therapeutic experience that leaves you feeling refreshed and revitalized.

Directions for Use:

Apply a small amount to rotating areas of the skin and massage gently until absorbed. Areas of skin to apply: chest, neck, stomach, and wrists. Use as needed for dry skin, tension relief, or to enjoy the grounding and soothing benefits of the essential oil blend.
