The placenta is a powerful, life-giving organ and the first project that you and your little one(s) make, together! It helps your baby(ies) develop by providing nutrients, hormones, and oxygen and it keeps your baby(ies) safe and healthy by removing waste. In many ways, the placenta is your child’s first parent.
Honoring the placenta–through consumption, burial, and/or ceremony– is an ancient practice that can have many physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits. During pregnancy, labor, and delivery, birthing people’s bodies experience a wide range of hormone fluctuations and physical changes. As magical as bringing a baby into this world is, it is also extremely hard work. The placenta’s hormonal makeup is uniquely tailored to supplement each birthing person’s postpartum process! Consuming your placenta is one of the most natural and healthy ways to replenish your body and balance your hormones during the postpartum period as well as future moon cycles and times of stress.
