What can you do with your placenta? Well I can help you give that back to your body!

The placenta contains so many of healing properties and hormones:

Cortisol- Combats stress and unlocks that stored energy ⚡️

Gammaglobulin- Immune booster ⚕️

Gonadotropin- The precursor to estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.

Hemoglobin- Replenishes iron lost during birth 🩸
Human Placental Lactogen and prolactin - Stimulates mammary gland function and milk production.🍼 Helps that milk!

Oxytocin- For pain and bonding; produced during breastfeeding to facilitate bonding of mother and infant.👩‍👧

Placental Opioid-Enhancing Factor- Stimulates the production of your body’s natural opioids, including endorphins, reduces pain, increases well-being.❤️‍🩹

Prostaglandins- Anti-inflammatory.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone- Boosts energy and helps recovery from stressful events.🧘🏼

I am offering 2 free placenta encapsulations and tincture! The tincture can also be saved for menopause or even if you’re having a daughter can be used to help her and her menstruation❤️

Such a vital part of entering the world. Don’t wash it off!

🚫 ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴡᴀsʜ ɪᴛ ᴏғғ! 🚫

Vernix caseosa, also known as vernix, is the waxy or cheese-like white substance found coating the skin of newborn human babies. It begins to form at about 27 weeks. It is produced by dedicated cells that play protective roles during fetal development and for a few hours after birth.

Don't wash it off!! Rub it in. It's the best lubricant for the baby's skin once the are 🌏 earthside🌎

𝔹𝕖𝕟𝕖𝕗𝕚𝕥𝕤 𝕀𝕟𝕔𝕝𝕦𝕕𝕖:🌻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
✅Germ fighting superhero - one of the primary purposes of vernix is to protect the infant from unwanted pathogens, both in the womb and out ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅Controls temperature - with its thick, waxy coating, vernix helps to insulate the baby. infants who have it immediately washed off have a significantly higher rate of heat loss⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅Skin cleanser and antioxidant - it offers a protective covering while going through the birth canal, allowing baby to pick up good bacteria & potentially avoid overgrowths of bad bacteria, viruses and fungi⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What purpose does vernix serve?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿In the womb:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Prevents loss of electrolytes and fluids⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Acts as a microbial barrier from unwanted pathogens⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Provides a protective layer to facilitate skin growth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿Out of the womb:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Decreases skin pH and helps form the protective acid mantle⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Protects from pathogens⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moisturizes and keeps skin soft⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Contains that new baby smell to help mom and baby bond during the golden hour

This is so important! And for mamas having a cesarean you can still do this! There are ways to allow your cesarean to be family focused. You don’t have to lose your voice and your birth wishes!

⚡️This is what waiting 60 seconds to clamp the looks like. There’s still so much oxygen rich blood that was pumping from the placenta to the baby.

🔥 60 seconds is not true delayed cord clamping.

When there’s no medical necessity for separating baby from the placenta prior to the cord stopping it’s pulse, clamping should not occur before the cord turns white.
