History Lesson

Many world cultures have revered the placenta as sacred for centuries, assigning specific burial procedures and ceremonies for the handling of it. Let’s work together to develop American placenta traditions based on intelligent study and intuitive response. We need to courageously establish practices that allow birth to be all that Nature intended.

Western medicine has mistakenly devalued the placenta as “medical waste.” The tide is quickly turning as more and more moms are utilizing their placentas through encapsulation, salves, and tinctures for health benefits. Natural postpartum healing from the placenta includes:

*lessening of baby blues

*increase of milk production

*increased energy

* lessening of postpartum bleeding

*uterus contraction
