Most mammals consume their placenta following birth. While it can seem outrageous to first consider eating your placenta, the miraculous benefits are your birthright and not to be abandoned lightly. Consuming your placenta can help increase breast milk production, lessen uterine bleeding, and more gradually help your body adapt to postpartum hormonal changes - all while using your own unique hormones. Mothers who have suffered from post-partum depression and post-partum psychosis report an astonishing difference when they consume their placenta with subsequnt pregnancies.

 

When a placenta is cooked, dried, ground and put into capsules or made into a liquid tincture, it bears little resemblance to the exotic picture in your mind when you think of eating your placenta.
