This is the practice of eating human placenta for wellbeing purposes. It may be eaten raw, cooked or fried. It is believed that the mother benefits by eating their own baby's placenta after delivery, just like the majority of animals do. At other times, the placenta is eaten by people other than the delivering mother

Caution
  • There is a risk of spreading diseases if the placental blood comes in contact with the handlers' or diners' exposed wounds


  • The supposed nutritional benefit may not survive the cooking process


  • Although the act does not usually constitutes cannibalism in most localities, check with the legal provision of your country to avoid criminality

Therapy for:
  • Post-delivery ( Postpartum) depression


  • Post-delivery fatigue


  • Post-delivery bleeding


  • Increased breast-milk production


  • Improved mood after delivery


Comments
  • There is no scientific basis for eating the placenta in humans, and there are no demonstrable clinical beneifts


  • It may be prepared as a smoothie or as capsules
