Placenta Processing

The placenta is an organ the body creates to nourish your baby during  pregnancy. Almost every mammal ingests their own placenta after the birth. The placenta is nutrient rich and helps replenish your body, restoring and balancing hormones after the birth of your baby. Experts agree that the placenta retains hormones, thus reintroducing them to your system eases hormonal fluctuations with your own natural hormones. In addition, your placenta is high in vitamins and minerals such as iron, protein, and vitamin B6.

Encapsulating your placenta is a great way to consume this nourishing remedy.
