THE WONDERS OF YOUR PLACENTA

Ingesting your placenta after your baby is born isn’t a new concept. But the modern world we live in sometimes means we drift away from natural remedies in favour of synthetic, man-made solutions. Newborn Bliss offers moms the chance to encapsulate their placenta after birth, so you can receive all the amazing benefits of ingesting your very own mineral-rich placenta. Encapsulation means dehydrating the placenta, grinding the dried pieces into a fine powder and putting this powder into capsules. Ingesting the placenta replenishes essential hormones such as corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH), a known stress reducer, as well as oxytocin (known as the love hormone), which results in a calmer mommy – and a calm, happy mom means a calm, happy baby. It also helps curb the baby blues, prevent postnatal depression, boost milk supply, increase energy, stabilise hormones and aid quicker recovery. Visit newbornbliss.co.za for more information.
