Why is the Placenta so important for post-birth healing?
Your placenta is an incredible organ which has been uniquely designed for your baby and is an integral part of your pregnancy and birth. The placenta physically connects you to your unborn baby feeding essential oxygen, nutrients and vitamins. We believe the mammalian placenta was made to be consumed and most other mammals consume their placentas after birth. It makes sense that you would replenish what the body has lost during birth and make up for this loss by giving the new mother essential fats, proteins, bio-available iron and essential hormones to heal wounds and aid the body in self recovery following the physical exertion of pregnancy, labour and birth.
Stem cells and growth factors in the placenta play a key role in healing the wound left inside the uterus after birth by the separation of the placenta from the uterine wall. A mother will typically bleed for between 3 – 6 weeks after birth. We have found however that mothers who consume their placenta (i.e. placenta encapsulation or other remedies) after birth, particularly after consuming raw placenta in a smoothie or other, bleed significantly less e.g. usually much lighter bleeding for between just 5 – 10 days after giving birth.
The most important nutrients found in rich supply in the placenta include:
Dried placenta powder was recognised as a potent medicine in Europe for centuries and used to treat and cure many ailments, mostly those surrounding birth. However, since the late 19th century, most natural birthing methods have been replaced by modern birthing techniques, losing along the way many valuable traditions practiced for centuries.
The benefits of consuming the placenta are being rediscovered and scientists are beginning to study placentophagy. Today there is anecdotal evidence and scientific studies that suggest consuming the placenta can be just as beneficial for humans as it is for other mammals. Testimonials from our clients reveal that consuming the placenta after birth may improve energy levels, increase milk production and reduce bleeding and the risk of postpartum haemorrhage, thus creating an overall healthier post-birth recovery.

- Stem Cells and Growth Factors.
- Iron – essential for oxygen absorption in the cells.
- Vitamins B6 – aids in the making of antibodies.
- Vitamin E – for healing damaged skin cells.
- Oxytocin hormone – essential for facilitating birth and breastfeeding.
- Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) – responsible for reducing stress levels.
- Cytokines – Fibroblasts that trigger cell metabolism healing and replacing damaged cells and tissue.
