I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about placenta encapsulation. A couple of the doulas who we interviewed offer this as a service. Personally, it sounds pretty out there to me, but I'm curious if anyone has any personal experience with it. Also, I'm wondering if there are any documented health benefits, or are all of the claimed benefits just based on anecdotal evidence...?

Wow. Never heard of it before but just googled and read about it. Weird!
I know placenta in face products is supposed to be good for your skin, but not sure about eating it! -
Check out this awesome post on one of my favorite birth blogs! I'm kind of intrigued by the whole idea.

well I know I've read a few articles about placenta hair products being linked to certain types of cancers so I avoid them now.

One of the writers of a blog I read did this! She found it very beneficial. Here is her post:

I've read about it--but it's a little too icky for me. I don't even want to see the placenta, I've seen enough pictures on Google to know that it grosses me out!

@sweetkate: Really interesting read. Thanks for the link!
-
I don't think I could ever do that.

MODG blog had a post about it...it's intriguing to me.

I just wrote a post about this! I'm not sure if/when it'll be published, but I'm glad that some of you are interested!
