It only takes a small piece of the dehydrated placenta added in high-grade alcohol to prepare a tincture, as well as a little bit of “savoir-faire”. It’s an ideal pick-me-up, available any time of transition, or emotional challenges.

The 2017 article published by the CDC is not a study but a case report, about an isolated incident.
However, we know that when the TCM protocols are being respected, it is safe to encapsulate: The encapsulator and the new parents must work in compliance with the food safety protocols and safe food handling.
Additionally, when been steamed properly, bacteria are killed before the dehydration stage. This is why, I do not provide raw preparation option.
