At first thought I know it is hard to imagine eating or consuming your own placenta but think about all that it has done for your growing little belly. The placenta has long been thought of as a magical part of the creation the life of a baby. This incredible organ is uniquely designed for your baby and an integral part of any pregnancy and birth. The placenta physically connects the unborn baby and the momma, feeding the developing fetus a continuous supply of essential oxygen, nutrients and vitamins through the umbilical cord.
During and after birth women lose 1/8-1/10 of their blood supply from the bleeding wound left inside the uterus, where the placenta was attached for 9 months. As is true with most mammal species, we believe the human placenta was made to be consumed by the new mother to make up for this loss by replacing essential fats, protien, vast amounts of iron and essential hormones to heal wounds and aid the body in self recovery after birth. --Your Placenta
The most important nutrients found in rich supply in the placenta:
- Iron - essential for oxygen absorbtion in the cells
- vitamins B6 - aids in the making of antibodies
- Vitamin E - for healing damaged skin cells
- Oxytocin hormone - essential for facilitating birth and breastfeeding
- Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) - responsible for reducing stress levels
- Cytokins - Fibroblasts that trigger cell metabolism healing and replacing damaged cells and tissue
Benefits of placenta remedies include:
- increased milk supply
- reduced post-natal bleeding
- faster wound healing
- feeling emotionally balanced
- more energy to care for new baby
- able to cope on little sleep and rest
- healthy and strong skin, hair and nails
- less fatigued
- no negative side effects
While eating one's own placenta doesn't really pose any serious health risks, with the exception of spoilage, eating someone else's placenta can be a hazard to your health. In today's world of illness transmitted by blood like Hepatitis, HIV and AIDS to name a few, you must know that these are potentially carried through the placenta as it is full of blood.---------
