Serenity Homestead Wild Yam Balm containing Wild Yam, Chaste Tree Berries (Vitex), Red Clover buds, and Beeswax is commonly marketed as a natural balm to support women's hormonal health, particularly during PMS, perimenopause, and menopause. 
Here's what each ingredient is traditionally used for:
🌿 Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa)
Traditionally used for:
  • Supporting hormonal balance during menopause and PMS
  • Helping with menstrual cramps and discomfort
  • Reducing hot flushes and night sweats
  • Anti-inflammatory effects that may ease aches and pains
Wild yam contains a compound called diosgenin, which can be converted into progesterone in a laboratory, but the body cannot naturally convert it into progesterone. Studies have found mixed results regarding its effectiveness for menopausal symptoms.
🍇 Chaste Tree Berries (Vitex agnus-castus)
Traditionally used for:
  • PMS symptoms (breast tenderness, irritability, mood swings)
  • Supporting menstrual cycle regularity
  • Assisting women with hormonal fluctuations
  • Potentially helping with symptoms related to low progesterone
Vitex works by influencing the pituitary gland, which may help balance hormone production.
🌸 Red Clover Buds/Flowers (Trifolium pratense)
Traditionally used for:
  • Menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes
  • Supporting bone and cardiovascular health
  • Providing phytoestrogens (plant compounds similar to estrogen)
  • Supporting overall women's wellness
Red clover contains isoflavones, which may have mild estrogen-like effects in the body.
🐝 Beeswax
Benefits in the balm:
  • Creates a protective barrier on the skin
  • Helps lock in moisture
  • Has mild anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties
  • Gives the balm its solid texture and aids absorption
⭐ Potential Overall Benefits of Wild Yam Balm
Women commonly use these balms to support:
  • Relief from PMS symptoms
  • Reduction in hot flushes and night sweats
  • Improved mood stability
  • Better sleep quality
  • Menstrual cramp relief
  • Support during perimenopause and menopause
  • Moisturising and soothing dry skin

How to apply:

Using around 1/8th of a teaspoon,

Common application areas for Serenity Homestead Wild Yam Balm are places where skin is relatively thin and easy to absorb through, while also being comfortable to rotate between uses:

  • Inner arms or wrists: Often used because the skin is thinner and easy to access.
  • Inner thighs: Another common area with softer skin; avoid applying too close to sensitive genital areas.
  • Lower abdomen: Common for hormone-related creams because it’s broad, easy to reach, and less likely to rub off immediately.
  • Chest or upper chest: Sometimes suggested but avoid the nipple area and irritated skin.
  • Behind the knees: Occasionally used as another thin-skin area.

A good practice is to rotate application sites rather than using the same spot every time, which may reduce skin irritation. Also avoid broken skin, rashes, cuts, or areas where clothing will immediately rub the cream off.
