It is pretty amazing that a human body can grow a whole entire organ in 9 months while pregnant. There are many benefits to eating your placenta. While some women eat their placenta raw, others prefer to encapsulate it. Some people make art with their placenta and others will bury their placenta in their garden on the baby's first birthday to celebrate life.
The placenta makes sure your baby is getting enough oxygen and nutrients during your pregnancy. After pregnancy you will delivery our placenta and you may do as you wish with it as your body does not need it anymore. Although your body doesn't need it internally, it can be a big help to consume it for many reasons.
-Increases milk supply. Ingesting the placenta is known to increase the milk supply in a mother's breast milk.
-Increase red blood cells. During birth we lose a lot of blood. Ingesting our placenta will replace what we have lost so we don't become anemic.
-Increases energy levels. Being a new mom, you may feel fatigued and have low energy. Consuming your placenta will increase your energy levels so you can feel like a normal person again.
-Gets rid of postpartum depression. Many new mothers will struggle with postpartum depression after they give birth. The placenta will help this struggle.
It's strange to me that there aren't more people who don't ingest their placenta. We are the only mammals on earth that don't regularly ingest our placentas. I will be posting step by step instructions on how to properly prepare a placenta if you don't plan on eating it raw.
I never knew that it was healthy to digest your placenta. I am glad that I am following your blog. I am constantly learning from reading your blogs.
