Overview
Placenta encapsulation restores valuable nutrients to mother, promotes faster healing and can help prevent post-partum depression. For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has viewed the placenta as a key medicine (known as zi he chi) that is invaluable for postpartum healing. Childbirth is an awesome event that can cause new mothers to experience blood loss, fatigue, and a drop in their high pregnancy hormones; all of which are thought of as key factors in the development of the “baby blues” and postpartum depression (PPD). The placenta is full of Qi — life force — which will replenish new mother’s bodies, naturally, when they need it most.
