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 premenstrual syndrome.

Black Seed Oil has an unprecedented strengthening effect upon the immune system, and works in a host of other ways to promote optimum health and well being.

Its efficacy is solidly backed by three thousand years of folklore and the past fifty years have seen a burgeoning amount of scientific data to further support Black Seed's renowned healing properties. Just two of its many actions are;

Mistletoe has been used traditionally in herbal medicine for both menopausal and period problems. It is excellent for stress and this deep, broad acting, yet calming herb should be considered as a regenerative aid to health, in many cases. Mistletoe, like Noni has a wonderful impetus for a natural healing of the nervous system. Its other main actions include a kind of systemic action on the glandular system, helping to redress hormonal imbalance, including the pancreas.
