The traditional medicine of many indigenous cultures recognizes and values the healing potential of the placenta. It is prepared and used in a variety of ways to benefit both mother and child, for example Traditional Chinese Medicine dries the placenta for later use as a medicine.
The placenta is also used in homeopathic medicine as a remedy. Original research into the placental remedy “placenta humanum” has indicated its benefit in the treatment of conditions where the child’s immune system has failed to respond effectively to a challenge or illness. If the remedy is prepared from the child’s own placenta, it provides an added individualized boost to overcome the child’s own particular inherited tendencies.
How can a Homeopathic Placenta Remedy help me and my baby?
Your custom-made homeopathic placenta remedy can be used as your child’s constitutional remedy for life since it was their life-giving source for their time in utero. The placenta contains stem cells so this remedy will be a very good immune remedy. It contains the blue print of his/her energetic make-up and hence, and has the amazing ability to bring balance and elicit healing from within when illness, disease, emotional challenges, or difficult life transitions arise. Your baby may also benefit from the placenta remedy for colic, fussiness, crying, teething, and during times of growth and separation.
Not only will homeopathic placenta remedy benefit the baby, but it will help postpartum mothers as well. It can help new mothers with depression, baby blues and/or times of mental weakness and/or separation. The homeopathic placenta remedy can also help the mother with issues related to the uterus, reproductive cycle, menstruation or trauma during birth or pregnancy related issues.
Mailing your Placenta Sample

If you are sending the fresh or frozen sample by mail I recommend placing the sample of your placenta in a 30ml bottle, fill the bottle with hard alcohol such as vocka or gin, then send the sample in a padded envelope or box.
