Small disclaimer, most of these links include pictures, so this is not for the squeamish.
- A couple that I just attended last week took their placenta home to make placenta prints with it and then plant it. If they give permission and take pictures, I will be sure to share. (no pics)
- A peer of mine in this area just started her own placenta encapsulation service.
- A funny-guy hosts a placenta party for friends and family (lots of humor and pictures).
- Family Colvin had their sister encapsulate her placenta.
- The Placenta Blog talks about everything to do with placentas
- Mary talks about a placenta consumption experiment and how it affected her overall (no pictures).
- Gifts of the Third Stage talks about cultural customs of the placenta and what benefits it has overall
- La Victoriana linked a great downloadable pdf for printing all about the placenta. A great read.
- And this amazing blogger (heh heh) wrote an article on why someone would consider some of the more 'extreme' placenta issues - just so you don't write them off as quacks before you hear their reasoning.
- The Green House talks both on consumption (no pics) and burying for memorials (PG pics)
- There is even a great book out called Placenta: the Gift of Life (psst, it is on my wish list - hint hint) and has a good book review here.
Oh what fun!

we meant to do something with our placenta...but, um, somehow lost it between the delivery room and the ward...oops.
we planted ours under a lilac bush for olive. im so happy we did something with it to honor it
nicole, it's great to see so many folks taking this healing route isnt' it?? i know the capsules are supposed to be great for PPD, and wished i had known this 3 yrs ago. my daughter's placenta is still in our deep freezer (3yrs later) and it will remain there until she is old enough to help us plant it under a tree, we'd like her to be part of the experience. off i go to follow each and every link you've posted ~ i support each one of them! thanks!!
peace,
lil
We put our placenta in the ground and covered it with a board until the snow melted, then planted a blueberry bush on top of in the Spring. I also planted two other blueberry bushes beside it for my other 2 boys. They all are thriving (the boys and blueberry bushes!) I have a poem written on my post about placentas on my blog-check it out sometime if you get a chance-I LOVE PLACENTAS!!
My daughter Haleh's placenta is buried in the center of our banana grove, nourishing a baby sweet mangostein tree. By the time she's 8 or 10, the tree will be fruiting. It was a beautiful and memorable thing to do with the placenta! I'm excited to explore all your placenta links and learn more :)
