Placenta Benefits

Part of this great adventure with Jake Apples includes giving my placenta a second role after delivery. Placenta Benefits is a national group who sends specialists to the home of a new Mama to prepare her placenta into capsules to be taken as herbal medicine.

The benefits include hormone balancing to ward off post partum depression, increase iron levels to fight anemia, boosting milk supply and speeding the healing of the uterus. Pretty amazing stuff!

Our specialist is finishing up the process today which includes steaming and dehydrating the placenta and grinding it into powder to be put into gel capsules. I will be able to experience the benefits 10 minutes after taking my first pill.

The body is truly amazing.
