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:

Powerful Little Pills!
Hey Moms, remember when you dip into your extra stash of placenta capsules months later that they still pack a powerful punch.

Not too bad of a problem because now she has emergency milk in the freezer (not to mention she feels great again).
