What is Placentophagy?
Placentophagy is simply the practice of consuming the placenta after birth. It is believed that the practice derives from ancient Chinese medicine, wherein the organ would be used to help treat medical conditions such as infertility and liver problems. Traditional Chinese Medicine Inspired Method of Placenta Encapsulation.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Inspired (TCMI) method is the oldest recipe we have for placenta encapsulation; it has been done the longest in Chinese culture. The signature of this method is the steaming step. In TCMI theory, the process of labor and birth leaves a lot of open, empty space, which is considered very yin, or cold. Therefore, one major way we can promote healing during the postpartum period is to add yang energy via heat. We therefore incorporate steam and warming herbs into the remedy, and the final result is warming, tonifying, and nourishing for the postpartum by encapsulating your placenta.

A placenta tincture is the concentrated solution formed after your raw placenta has been steeped in alcohol for up to six weeks. It’s a great way to preserve the hormones and stem cells from your placenta without cooking it or drying it out and will last infinitely longer. Many people believe it helps relieve certain physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms, particularly those related to postpartum depression.
The Placenta Tincture is for use after all the capsules are used or even into menopause. The tincture will be ready 6 weeks after the placenta is encapsulated. Includes instructions, bottle, and dropper.
Tincture is good for YEARS, there is no set "Expiration date" and some women choose to save it for their daughters when they reach puberty, or when they themselves reach menopause.
Drops can be placed under the tongue or added to water or your favorite juice, tea or beverage of choice.
