CHOOSE YOUR PLACENTA REMEDIES
There are many ways to utilise the placenta, all beneficial to the new mother and her family in different and complementary ways. You can have all of the below remedies with your one placenta. Remedies such as the tincture, balms and creams are made using only a small piece of placenta and each placenta remedy has it’s own benefit for you and your baby so its a good idea to read through all the options to ensure you make the most out of your placenta.
The most modern Western way to consume the placenta is by capsule, known as placenta encapsulation. Preparing your placenta into easy-to-take placenta pills is a simple way to support postnatal health and vitality after you have your baby. Your placenta is unique to you and it is possible that the stem cells and growth factor are the perfect tailor-made nourishment for your healing and rejuvenation. Your placenta contains one of the highest concentrations of essential hormones, iron, B vitamins and micro-nutrients found in any plant or animal species. Placenta is even said to be great support during PMS and menopause; if that is interesting to you ensure you order the tincture.
ENCAPSULATION
The placenta contains essential fats, proteins, vast amounts of iron and essential hormones and is said to heal wounds and aid the body in self recovery after birth. The placenta is considered a powerful and sacred medicine, a ‘full of life force’ organ in China and has been documented as a healing medicine since 1578.
Possible benefits:
- Supply of essential vitamins and nutrients incl. high levels of iron
- Immediate boost of hormones to begin healing the body after birth
- Eases the hormonal transition
- Increased energy
- Quicker for milk to come in and increased supply
SMOOTHIE
Consuming the placenta raw is the only way to access the full complement of nutrients and hormones as they are significantly reduced when processed. It is also the only way to benefit from the high contents of stem cells and growth factors, which may heal damaged tissue and organs at a rapid rate.
Consuming a small piece shortly after birth has been shown to reduce uterine bleeding and replenish your body with essential hormones and nutrients. Mothers report greatly increased energy and often notice their milk ‘comes in’ within hours.
To be consumed as soon as possible after the birth, and is great to give you immediate support whilst you wait for your capsules to be prepared and delivered. Your choice of ingredients will be used. I recommend strawberries and banana as a base with your choice of extras such as honey, cinnamon & coconut water. It tastes great, with no hint of placenta at all!
When I collect the placenta, I will immediately prepare the smoothie for you to enjoy at your bedside shortly after the birth. (If this is not suitable, I can take the placenta and return with the smoothie for a travel fee.)

NATURAL SKIN CARE CREAMS & BALMS
Work with me to develop the right product for your needs. Use on caesarean scars, as a nappy balm, healing cracked nipples, improving skin tone, diaper rash, eczema, dry skin, and even bruises.
Creams and balms are particularly effective on skin due to the rich hormonal content; DHEA, a natural steroid pro-hormone, cortisols can help to heal infected skin, estrogen builds collagen in the skin and progesterone inhibits the breakdown of collagen, normally leading to wrinkles as we age.
Placenta creams have been used by the rich and famous for many years to combat signs of aging. Did you know that placentas are frequently used in expensive commercially available anti-aging creams?
Kept refrigerated, placenta balm will retain its healing properties for up to 12 months. Your specialist can blend future creams from your mother tincture so you can reorder as necessary.
Possible benefits:
- Reduce the appearance of stretch marks and caesarean scars
- Heal sore or cracked nipples
- Reduce skin inflammation for babies eg. nappy rash or eczema
- Reduce skin inflammation from eczema, psiorisis and dermatitis
- Reduce the appearance of aging skin eg. lines, veins, sun-spots, wrinkles
