I take the womans placenta, rinse it. Steam it with ginger and lemon on stove top, this is TCM (traditional chinese method). Then I slice it, dehydrate it for abou 6-8hrs. Grind it into a powder. Encapsulate it. Then the mom ingest it for a few weeks after birth.

Is excellent for PPD, increasing milk supply, increasing energy and decreasing lochia (PP bleeding). The idea behind it is that you are replacing the hormones the mother lost during the birthing process. Here is a great article about it, Placenta for Healing.

Each womans placenta is unique to her because it's hormonal make up matches her. The most enriched placenta is the first born males.

Placenta is used in A LOT of cosmetics today. It has amazing anti-aging effects.

The pills can be kept indefinitely in the freezer. Really great if mom needs a supply boost later on, feeling run down or for a mood pick me up. They are also great during menopause!

Doesn't the cooking destroy the hormones?

No. You can dehydrate it from raw. Some people consume it raw.

Regardless method of preparation it still contains the hormones that are benefiticial.

When we cook a steak for example are we losing the benefits of it by not eating raw? No. It still has benefits to it.

Ok...the last thing I wanna read about when I'm eating nachos and queso dip, is placenta encapsulation.

LOL! Absolutely ;O)

A woman ingesting her on placenta in capsule form has no side effects. IF she had PPD and had to get on an antidepressent, the risk of side effects is awful.

Well, it doesn't have to be encapsulated.

Placenta Encapsulation: prevention of PPD? - Wellsphere

There are many ways to prepare your placenta for ingestion. Some women feel comfortable putting placenta in a smoothie, or creating a special recipe for it. Some women even consume it raw. These methods will work, but they limit the length of time you are able to utilize the benefits of placenta to a matter of days.

LMAO! But placentas dont resemble nachos or queso dip ;O)

Some add pured raw placenta to a tomato sauce to make Lasgna.

I like you!

Some good placenta recipes:
Placenta Recipes

Hi honey how was your day

well I learned about the benifits of cooking your own placenta and how to use it in recipes.

I really need to talk to Cat Cora about this one

Lol, good find. I think I'll stick with my daily multivitamin though.

Lasagna?

Guess what's NOT for dinner anymore.

I prefer my placenta with a side of fava beans and a nice chianti.

I've delivered babies and placentas and saved them for inspection, but serve 'em for dinner? I'll pass.

ok, it's all I can do to keep my mouth shut but, ew.
I won't for a second look down on Chinese remedy's or organic cures. Hell I firmly believe that your mind is a great healer, but this is over the top as far as I'm concerned. Although if it works for you who am I to bitch about it, and from your pictures you look healthy and you have beautiful children so something you are doing is right. But damn girl, ew.....
