European doctors have prescribed
Maca for more than a decade and have found it a more helpful remedy than synthetic western medicines. Maca is growing in world popularity due to its energizing effects, fertility enhancement and aphrodisiac qualities.

Maca believed it to be a significant fertility aid for both animals and humans; this explains why Maca is often described as an aphrodisiac. Maca offers a natural solution for both PMS and menopause. Calcium and magnesium are well known for their beneficial effects on the female endocrine system.
Maca is a good source for both of these important minerals and is a very rich source of iodine, which is also important for the endocrine system due to its effect on the thyroid.
Wild Yam helps to maintain a balance of hormones in the body. Beneficial for weak nervous system, whereas the more stimulating
Maca is often more suitable for the more robust. The Trobiand islanders, who attribute much of their radiant health to its regular consumption, regard it with reverence.
Wild Yam like all super-foods, has a broad potential range of action, seeming almost too good to be true, yet its sphere of action has a unique character, which differentiates it from other super-foods. Its main area of action is hormonal.
It supplies nutrients, which rapidly enable our endocrine glands to produce a complex array of hormones. Yam contains plant hormone precursors which help in the production and balancing of progesterone and oestrogen. The essence of the action of yam appears to be in facilitating the production of a substance, which has the shortened name DHEA, 'the mother of hormones'. American doctors are finding DHEA useful in treating sexual function problems, menopausal problems and premenstrual syndrome.
