Traditional Chinese Medicine Placenta Encapsulation

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the placenta is considered a key medicine for postpartum healing. The placenta is believed to contain nutrients, hormones, and Qi (life force) that can help with postpartum mood disorders, increased production of oxytocin, a decrease in stress hormones, restoration of iron levels following blood loss after birth, and increased milk supply.
