Top ten reasons why to have your placenta encapsulated! !! 1. Beats the hell out of Zoloft Yeah, no one bats an eye when a women starts taking Zoloft to combat postpartum depression. It’s a man made pharmaceutical. Completely unnatural. Sure there are studies that say it’s safe and effective. But you know why there are no studies like that about placentas? Because there’s no money to be made. 2. Everyone’s doing it Like I said, it’s very common for mammals to consume their own placenta. If all mammals carry and nurse their babies then maybe we should take a cue from them. And people do it too. I wanted to do it. Just because you never heard of it until now doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. 3. It’s real, and it’s whole Which is more than I can say for half the crap most people eat everyday. I’d eat 3 placentas before I’d eat a Lean Cuisine. 4. Your post-baby body is kind of a wreck Yeah…things are kind of weird after having a baby. Physically, emotionally, you name it. During this huge transition if there is anything you can do to help, I say – do it. 5. It’s not expensive At least, I don’t think it should be. Your placenta comes free of charge (except at Virginia Hospital Center…) and encapsulation was going to run me $150. 6. It gives you energy Many moms report a significant boost of energy from their “happy pills.” 7. It’s been celebrated for thousands of years Many cultures have ceremonies and rituals surrounding the placenta. Why? There must be some traditional understanding of its power. 8. Tastes great in a smoothie Ok, ok I’m kidding. But seriously if you don’t want to get it encapsulated, you can totally just…eat it. Some people say it’s even more nutritious when taken raw. So, blend it up? 9. Freak out your friends Hey, nothing makes for a good conversation starter than, “So I was eating my placenta yesterday…” or “Care for some placenta?” 10. Why the hell not? It won’t hurt. It might help. And let me tell you, there are many things about childbirth and motherhood that are much more gross. findyourbalancehealth/2012/03/top-10-reasons-to-eat-your-placenta/
