Four Elements 4E Wild Yam Balancing Cream, 2 OZ - 1st Place Winner at the 2023 International Herb Symposium for Creams and Salves! Proudly Farmed, Crafted and Packaged in WI, USA.

Amazing stuff! Is helping me feel as normal as possible after stopping my hormonal bc! I switch areas of application & don’t take during my period week. It’s helping with hot cold, mood & relaxation. It has a very earthy peppery smell but I don’t mind it anymore. Just take a little getting used to. Love the benefits. It’s been saving me the last couple weeks. Great quality! Nice glass container too! Worth the price, you don’t need much at all & it will last me awhile even the small jar. Sinks in quite easily. Is a tad greasy so let it soak in before putting clothing on or it will stain.

Good consistency, great smell. I have only used it for a little over a week, but it seems like a great product so far.

I waited a few months before reviewing. I purchased in November and started using twice a day as directed on my wrists, but maybe not as much as suggested and still getting results. I was suffering from hot flashes multiple times throughout the day and getting very hot at night while sleeping causing me to wake up often. Seriously, after two days of application, I have had not one hot flash and am back to wearing all my normal clothes and not just short sleeves or sleeveless in the middle of winter! I would estimate this jar will last 2 1/2 to 3 months. A great price to pay for relief.

Background: I'm a 46 year old who has recently undergone surgical menopause (hysterectomy and oophorectomy). The first couple of weeks were okay, but then my mood swings were horrible and I started having hot flashes. A friend recommended wild yam cream, so I found this product and bought it because it looked promising and was a reasonable price. I have been using it twice daily, with each dose about 1/8 tsp for about 6 weeks now. I briefly tried using more, about 1/2 tsp, but it didn't improve my results, so I went back down. I'm only about halfway through my first jar. Results: within a few days, my mood seemed back to normal pre-surgery levels. The hot flashes seemed unchanged: not better, but not worse like some have reported. This also did not improve my newly achy joints at all. I like the smooth texture of the cream and the very light earthy smell. It is easy and pleasant to apply. REFRIGERATION: I noticed after using this cream for a couple of weeks, that it's supposed to be stored in the refrigerator. I then read that some reviewers have had this cream get moldy otherwise. I didn't want to have that experience, but I knew I would forget to use it if I kept it in the fridge. So, using a clean butter knife, I transfer about a week's worth into a tiny travel jar. The main jar stays in the fridge while the small jar is by my bedside. That way, it is less likely to mold; and even if it were to mold, only a small amount would be affected. Recommended? Yes, I would recommend this for the mood improvement alone

I'm not noticing a difference. I guess I need to consume the yams too.

It's hard to gauge if this is balancing me or not as I've only been using it for 2 weeks. I will say that it's a lovely cream that smells absolutely amazing. I will start by saying that I got my blood work done a few months ago and was told that I'm estrogen dominant, this was also right around the time I was skipping quite a few months of my cycle and hot flashes had stopped, the fact that I am now starting to get hotter at night is a slight indication to me that this product is working though because hot flashes are an indication of dropping estrogen levels.

I’ve used this for a couple of years now. The first few weeks of perimenopause my hormones were a dumpster fire. I had hot flashes all day and all night. Within the first few days of using the yam cream my hot flashes were cut down to just once or twice a day. After a couple months I never had them anymore. And I still don’t! I highly recommend it!

It seems to be working in the short time that I've had it and it smells good! I thrive for all natural ingredients, absorbency and no -greasiness. I'm sure it won't make my skin extra soft in the long run.
