What is placentophagy?

It is the ingestion of a human placenta postpartum either in raw or altered form (e.g.,encapsulated, tincture, prepared as a food) Numerous historical occurrences of placentophagy have been recorded throughout the world. Since the 1970’s, however, consumption of the placenta believing that it has health benefits has been a growing practice among postpartum women.

What are the proclaimed benefits of consuming your placenta?

Consuming your placenta postpartum can assist in preventing and lessening the risk of postpartum depression or ‘baby blues’. Help replenish your iron from blood loss during birth and to prevent post birth anemia. It will play a part in lending you a consistent flow of oxytocin long after your birth euphoria ends. Consumption will provide the HPL hormone to help establish early and healthy milk supply. It will also assist in stabilizing your ever changing hormones post birth. Ingestion can help replenish your B vitamins and energy that were used during the labor and birthing process.Consuming will provide protection from infection and bleeding due to retained placenta tissue or membranes, and offer natural pain relief from the labor and birth of the baby.

 

How does Birthing Tree prepare placenta remedies?

Proper training, sanitation, and handling techniques are key with all placenta remedies that distributed by Birthing Tree, LLC. In the 200+ placentas that have been encapsulated all have been encapsulated under OSHA blood borne pathogen guidelines specific to placentas as well as the guidelines as a certified Florida Food Handler.  

The safety guidelines of handling your placenta correctly from start to finish are at the top of my list when preparing a placenta remedy. Not only do I adhere strictly to the OSHA blood borne pathogen guidelines but I also stand firm for all of the Food Safety guidelines as well. You do have to consider that this is a consumable item just as any meat that you would consume so you want it to be handled with care and "cooked" appropriately so that no contamination occurs.  

Tinctures are only made with high grade 100 proof alcohol to ensure quality of your tincture. All OSHA guidelines as well as sanitation and food safety are upheld for the tincture process just as they are with encapsulation.  

Salves are made as a bi-product from the capsules. All standards are held in high regard when crafting our salves so that you get top quality each time.
