ITEM #14 Placenta Encapsulation + Tincture Services East Valley Only (Ahwatukee – Apache Junction – Chandler – Gilbert – Mesa – Queen Creek – Tempe) Donated by Manifest Mama RETAIL VALUE: $170 Opening Bid: $45 Almost every single mammal consumes their placenta after birth (excluding marine animals). The placenta is loaded with iron and vitamins B6 and B12, as well as estrogen and progesterone, both important postpartum hormones.  It's benefits include helping to stop bleeding after birth, replenishing iron levels, and stabilizing hormones.  Many women also find it increases milk production and bonding thanks to its oxytocin content.  It has been around for centuries but is just recently gaining popularity in the US. Placenta tinctures are made by slicing off a small piece of the raw placenta.  It is placed in a jar of high grade alcohol to steep for 6-8 weeks.  It is then filtered and placed in a dark glass dropper bottle.  The tincture can be used long after the pills are gone.  They come in handy during PMS, menopause, times of transition, and stress.  If the tincture is kept in a cool and dark space, it will last for many years.
