The placenta, an incredible organ that supported your baby through the umbilical cord during pregnancy, holds immense significance. Throughout history and across various cultures, the practice of placentophagy, or ingesting the placenta, has been honored and considered beneficial for both mother and child.

In recent times, there has been a revival of this practice as its potential benefits for postpartum healing are being recognized. While the placenta's primary role is to nourish the growing baby in the womb, it is often overlooked and disregarded as "medical waste" after birth. However, studies have shown that the placenta is rich in nutrients, including iron, protein, vitamins, minerals, and your own natural hormones such as Vitamin B6.

Reintroducing these hormones into your system through placenta consumption is believed to potentially help ease the normal hormonal fluctuations that occur during the postpartum period. This recognition of the placenta's nutrient density and hormonal properties has led to a growing understanding and appreciation for its potential benefits in postpartum healing.

If you are interested in exploring the practice of placentophagy, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a specialist in placenta encapsulation to ensure proper preparation and safe consumption.

Please remember that individual experiences and cultural practices may vary, and it is important to make informed decisions that align with your personal beliefs and preferences.
