I'd like to keep my placenta after the birth and use it to help with any post-partum depression. Can I ask to keep my placenta? Should I ask them to freeze it or refrigerator it?Continue

Comment by Laurel on November 14, 2011 at 5:44pm: Placenta medication dose? How do you decide how many capsules? Mine are kind of on the small side....Anyone?

Comment by Amber-joy Tacey on September 18, 2011 at 10:15pm: I have been finding that the mothers whos placenta's I process with the raw method are feeling better than those who choose the TCM method...any thoughts on this?

Comment by Laurel on July 25, 2011 at 5:03am: Thanks ladies! Now its just about finding the time to dehydrate it ect haha

Comment by Rean Cross on July 24, 2011 at 8:44pm: Hi Laurel - I'd say yes to both. A frozen placenta may have lost some nutrients, but it's still better than no placenta at all, IMO. A single dose of penicillin shouldn't do any harm as a residue in your placenta. The amount left behind, if any, would be very small on a per-capsule basis.

Comment by Laurel on July 24, 2011 at 5:21pm: I gave birth on May 27th and have had the placenta in a freezer since. I am wondering two things. One is it still alright to encapsulate? Also wondering I was given penicilian during labor (probably around 3:00am and my son was born at 7:32am) because I tested Strep B positive, is it still ok for me to ingest my placenta? Please also take into consideration that I am breast feeding.

Comment by Rean Cross on June 17, 2011 at 7:08am: Shakeeta, you can use your oven. I'd suggest lining the baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper so the strips don't stick. Set your oven on the lowest possible temperature. You might need to keep the door open as well to keep it from getting too hot. I set my dehydrator for about 110-115F, and most ovens don't go below 200F. I don't know how long it might take in your oven - probably after the first two or three hours you should just check on it hourly. You want the strips to be dry enough to snap in half without being burned black, if possible.

Comment by Shakeeta Williams on June 17, 2011 at 7:01am: What different steps would I need to take if I don't have a dehydrator? Can I just use my oven and a baking sheet?

Comment by Amber-joy Tacey on January 28, 2011 at 8:23am: I just wondered if anyone knows if there is a difference in benifits when you steam the placenta before deyhdration or dehydrate it raw?

Comment by Samantha on November 30, 2010 at 12:52pm: Thanks i cant wait to see the difference in my recovery time and milk supple, I know i will feel way better this time around.

Comment by Samantha on November 28, 2010 at 7:07pm: got all my stuff ready to make my pills now i just need to have this little guy and make them=-) cant wait!!
