Post Partum Placenta Medicine

The placenta is much more than an organ: it is the first bond between mother and baby, a bridge of life that during pregnancy nourishes, protects, and sustains the little one. Once its mission is fulfilled at birth, many cultures have honored the placenta as a treasure filled with strength and natural wisdom.

Usually, the placenta is discarded after childbirth. However, in many places it is used in laboratories to extract hormones and proteins that are incorporated into cosmetics and treatments. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is also used: some men consume it to improve fertility, while women are offered it in soup or capsules to regain energy after giving birth.

Placental medicine is born from this vision. It consists of transforming the placenta into preparations that allow the mother (and also the family) to benefit from its nutrients and properties beyond childbirth. By reintegrating it, the woman receives back minerals, hormones, and defences that were originally hers, supporting physical and emotional recovery in the postpartum period.

It is said that the placenta is a “unique and personalized medicine,” because it responds to each woman’s genetic code. No two are alike, and each preparation becomes a tailor-made supplement to accompany the mother in this special stage.

Nowadays, thanks to placental medicine, it is possible to choose between different formats depending on one’s needs: capsules, tinctures, cord preparations, patches, and more. All of these forms share the same purpose: to honor the placenta and return its energy to the mother, helping to strengthen breastfeeding, balance emotions, restore vitality, and experience postpartum with greater well-being.
