From Family Remedy to Five-Star Bestseller

From Family Remedy to Five-Star Bestseller

The Journey of Our Wild Yam Cream

Our journey with Wild Yam Cream began in the most personal way—out of love for family. When my mother-in-law was struggling with hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings, she felt like she was losing herself. She had tried everything, but nothing seemed to work without unwanted side effects. Watching her go through that was heartbreaking, and I knew there had to be a better, natural solution.

That’s when my husband, Mike, and I started researching. We wanted to create something that would genuinely help, without synthetic hormones or harsh chemicals. We looked into wild yam and chaste tree berries, two powerful botanicals known for supporting hormonal balance, energy levels, and overall well-being.

At first, it was just for her—to help someone we love feel like herself again. But we had no idea how many other women needed this too.

A Journey Shaped by Women’s Stories

As I started sharing the cream with friends and family, I began hearing more and more stories—stories of frustration, exhaustion, and hope.

  • I remember a woman in her early 50s who had tried everything but still felt drained and emotional. After using our cream for a few weeks, she told me, "I finally feel like myself again. I have energy, I sleep better, and I don’t snap at my husband for no reason!"

  • Another customer, a mother in her late 30s, struggled with PCOS, weight gain, and hormonal acne. She said, "This has been life-changing. My skin is glowing, my bloating is gone, and I finally feel in control of my body."

  • Then there was Shareen, who suffered from sciatica and piriformis syndrome, which flared up around her cycle. She combined our Wild Yam Cream with our herbal teas and noticed a dramatic improvement in her pain and mobility.

Hearing these stories reminded us why we started in the first place. Women were tired of being dismissed, told to “just deal with it,” or given treatments that didn’t work for them. They wanted real relief—and we knew we could offer that.

Building Something Bigger—Together

This journey hasn’t been just mine—it’s been ours. Mike and I have built this business side by side, as a husband-and-wife team. We are completely hands-on, from sourcing the best organic ingredients to carefully crafting each batch of Wild Yam Cream.

We’ve poured our hearts into this because we believe in natural healing and in creating something we’d be proud to leave behind for our children. We homeschool our little ones while running our business, showing them every day what it means to build something with purpose, integrity, and love.
