Placenta medicine
The placenta is an extraordinary organ, formed during pregnancy to nourish and protect the developing baby. Its significance goes beyond birth, and for many women, it represents a symbol of connection, strength, and renewal. Placenta medicine is both an ancient and modern practice that seeks to harness its benefits for postpartum recovery and beyond.
At Parteras Sin Fronteras, we honor each woman’s choice regarding her placenta with the utmost respect, valuing her decisions and connection to this unique and sacred process.
Benefits and uses of placenta medicine
While scientific evidence on its benefits is limited, many women report positive results, such as:
-
Increased postpartum energy;
-
Reduced risk of postpartum depression due to potential hormonal benefits;
-
Improved lactation, supporting breast milk production;
-
Replenishment of essential nutrients, such as iron, aiding physical recovery.
It’s important to remember that effects can vary from person to person. That’s why we provide clear, evidence-based information so you can make the best decision for your body and experience.
Placenta Encapsulation
Encapsulation is one of the most common ways to consume the placenta. The process includes:
-
Cleaning and Preparation – The placenta is carefully washed and prepared for use.
-
Dehydration – It is dehydrated in a controlled environment.
-
Grinding and Encapsulation – Once turned into powder, it is placed into easy-to-consume capsules.
These capsules offer a practical way to potentially experience the placenta’s benefits safely and discreetly.
Other Uses
Beyond encapsulation, there are other ways to honor and utilize the placenta:
-
Tincture – A portion of the placenta is transformed into an alcohol-based tincture for long-term use.
-
Ointments and Creams – Topical preparations with potential healing and regenerative properties.
-
Rituals and Celebrations – Some families choose to bury the placenta as a symbolic act, planting a tree or garden to honor its significance.
-
Culinary Preparations – In some cultures, the placenta is cooked and consumed in soups or specific dishes.
