Placenta

[Sage_SS]

Are you keeping yours? If so, how will you be using it?

Because I'm having a section and my hubby refuses to touch it, a friend of mine is going to steam it, then dehydrate it for me. It can wait, fully dehydrated, for me to grind it and encapuslate it, right?

For those of you who have used yours before, what kind of outcomes can I expect from ingesting the capsules? I know that it helps with PPD, but I've never had PPD before and don't expect it this time. What are the other benefits you've experienced?

I just borrowed an encapsulator yesterday! I think you can keep it dehydrated for a while before grinding it.
I'm going to eat a piece of it in a smoothie first thing and probably dehydrate and encapsulate the rest.

I was thinking about asking about it but I don't really want another thing to worry about. Ive been really stressing out about a lot of things so Im simplifying as much as possible. If I wasn't so stressed about everything I would probably have DH make me a smoothie out of it then encapsulate the rest of it. Maybe with the next baby I will

I am going to have some immediately and then freeze small pieces for 14 days worth of smoothies. Anything left over I will make tincture and capsules. I also want to make a placenta print.
