My placenta then & now

So this time around I knew I wanted to either plant my tree of life into the earth (as a thank you & offering to Mother Earth) orrrrrrr ingest it myself to consume all the benificial properties it possesses.

I went back & forth with the decision & finally decided to have the lovely @_Tynece encapsulate it for me

- The Ibo of Nigeria & Ghana treat the placenta as the dead twin of the live child & they give it full burial rites

In many African cultures, “zan boku” means “the place where the placenta is buried.” I felt very close to this practice spiritually — almost as if I had done it before. I read about it in depth & fell more & more in love with the practice. (Next baby I will partake in a burial)

In Vietnam, the placenta is viewed as a life force. It is dried & added to certain recipes in order to increase a person’s energy, vitality & life expectancy. Reading about this made me research the health benefits of ingesting the dried placenta myself.

In Korea the placenta is often burned & the ashes kept safe.
During periods of illness the ashen powder is given in a liquid/tea to help heal the child.

In the animal kingdom, nearly all land mammals consume their placentas right after birth...Just off natural instinct.

It’s still unclear WHY animals eat their placentas right after birth seeing as how we can’t ask “hey giraffe why are you doing that?!” & get a solid answer ya know
..cus that would help

But what we SO know is the placenta is believed to increase vitamin supply — specifically iron (I had a iron deficiency my entire pregnancy)
- increase milk production
- improve energy & mood
-help with maternal bonding
-improve skin elasticity
-helps in faster postpartum healing

I also have used the contents of the capsules in fertility rituals & spells that require an high maternal or feminine presence

To encapsulate your placenta must be dried out properly & grinded down. You can add other vitamins in with ur placenta to help with the goals you have in mind.
Then consume however u see fit.
Either in capsules. Or teas. Or use as a seasoning.
The possibilities are endless
