Placenta Medicine & Art
The placenta is the tree of life, an organ that plays an extremely important role at generating life. Many cultures around the world have honored placenta medicine and taken advantage of the emotional and physical benefits that placenta medicine brings. According to Andean culture, the placenta, the baby and the birthing person are interconnected. Therefore it is important to take care of the placenta to ensure that the parent and baby are healthy. Placenta medicine preparations vary from culture to culture, and even if you are not interested on ingesting your placenta you can find other medicinal and ceremonial uses for her.

The anecdotal benefits of placenta medicine include:
Serpiente offers different placenta preparations: Placenta Encapsulation I offer raw placenta encapsulation and also Traditional Chinese Medicine (TMC) placenta encapsulation. In the raw food method, the placenta is not steamed or cooked in any way before dehydrating. The dehydrated placenta is then placed into capsules. This method is a good option for people that eat raw foods and for those interested in the freshest hormonal benefits of placenta encapsulation. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TMC) encapsulation involves gently steaming the placenta with warming herbs, ginger and jalapeños, then placenta is dehydrated, powdered and encapsulated. Each placenta is different in size, but one placenta might yield 90-140 capsules. Placenta Art The placenta is a beautiful organ, some call it the 'tree of life' since its print looks like a tree and its cord looks like a stalk and even root. Some of the placenta art I offer is placenta prints, cord and membrane keepsakes.
