For centuries, birth workers have encouraged the practice of placenta consumption for the benefit of the birthing person's postpartum transition and overall maternal wellness. While there isn't a lot of evidence (where western medicine is concerned) that ingesting our placenta is truly a benefit, history and first hand experience paints a clear picture. 

What are some of the positives that can come from encapsulating and supplementing with our own placenta?

• smoother hormonal transition after birth
• decrease in risk of  maternal mental disorders in the fourth trimester 
• increased milk production 
• more restorative sleep 
• decrease in stress triggering hormones
• balance of iron levels after birth
• creation of oxytocin

Those are just the perks of internally receiving your placenta! There are also many fantastic benefits of topical use that your body can reap the rewards from!

• soothes and heals burns
• eases discomfort from perineal trauma
• eliminates itching and soreness at c section site
• sun overexposure remedy
• soothes rash 
• alleviates the effects of poison ivy 
• wonderful afterbite treatment
