Placenta Remedies

Meet the Placenta

The placenta is an endocrine organ, which means that it is a hormone-producing organ. The placenta takes over hormone production by the end of the first trimester (up until this time, the corpus luteum handles most of the hormone production). As the weeks pass, these hormone levels steadily rise, reaching an astonishing three times the normal levels during the third trimester. After birth, these hormone levels will drop down significantly and this is time when the healing power of the placenta comes into play.

The placenta, having tenderly nurtured your baby in utero, can continue to serve as a source of support on your postpartum journey. It is a reservoir of your own natural hormones, minerals and vitamins, tailored to meet the individual needs of your body. Reintroducing these through placenta remedies can be a transformative step towards a smoother recovery after pregnancy and birth.

The placenta remedies benefit the new mother by supplying iron, amino acids and essential fats which we believe is the perfect replenishment following the physical ordeal of birth.
