To regulate periods my family uses sage tea with success. Starting with two cups of tea a day (morning and evening) and as things get better, we taper off to one cup then none.
Also, it seems, from earthclinic that blackstrap molasses helps too. We make a "coffee" out of it: a tablespoon of blackstrap, hot water to melt it, then top up with (soy) milk.

Lynn, I have read that there's no better remedy for menstruation probs. than Evening Primrose Oil (2 spoons daily for her). Add 400 iu Vit-E daily (mixed natural ) to protect the EPO. The amino acid Methionine is known to help rid the body of excess estrogen AND promote detoxification. Be sure to take a b complex and additional B-12 for proper methylation. Some Milk Thistle Seed or Artichoke Leaves (available in caps form) would also help as constipated liver is a common prob w/ many disorders. Increasing fibre in diet is also recommended so as to remove unwanted fats from the body.
Do try any or all of these measures FIRST, before considering yam.

Thank you so much for the prompt response! I will try these things and report back. I want to teach my kids to try to treat things naturally. The human body is so complex and intriguing! I have been stuck on this site for days.
