Would you? Could you? Consume your placenta?

How about a more palatable way to consume your placenta by having it prepared into capsules!

I have experienced the amazing benefits of placenta encapsulation after my daughter's birth last year.... I had my milk 'come in' within 24hrs, increased energy levels and blood loss ceased within a week... I was so amazed that I decided to train as a specialist in placenta encapsulation so I could offer this service to others.

Has anybody else encapsulated their placenta? Or considering doing so?

I was going to eat mine - probably knocked back with orange juice, as I doubt the useful hormones would survive prep into capsules any better than the traditional frying with onions my grandma suggested.
However we had to stay in hospital for a while, DP shoved the pot in the freezer and by the time it defrosted it was a week later so didn't bother.

Chao

citrus so is it traditional in your family to eat it?

Capsules schmapsules.

There is no palatable way to consume placenta. Utterly grim.

Simply no, not on any level would I consider consuming my placenta!

I was offered corned beef hash when in hospital with DD1. Maybe it was placenta!

Maybe it was Horse Placenta!!

I wouldn't eat it, but I had my milk 'come in' within 24hrs of giving birth and my blood loss ceased within a week all without the capsules.

I didn't want to eat mine no. But I did want to bring it home, bury it and plant a fruit tree on top. DP vetoed this, and I still regret it.

My placenta kept my beautiful DD alive while she was inside me, and somehow it just seemed wrong to throw into a yellow bin bag and incinerate.

I have plans for mine involving mash, red wine, onion and mushroom gravy and some green veg. Just to redress the balance of those being repulsed by the idea:)

I would not, could not, in a box. I would not, could not, with a fox.
