Placenta Salve…..What is it?

Heather | Posted on August 29, 2016 |

PlacentaSalve

One of the add ons I offer is Placenta Salve.

Placenta Salve is made with my salve base and has dried placenta added to it.

It’s great for skin irritations, dry skin, perineal or c-section scarring once healed.

Yes you can encapsulate if you test positive for G Yes you can encapsulate if you test positive for GBS. No you cannot if you have signs of an infection.  Fever of 101.4 or higher. 
If you test positive make sure your placenta encapsulator is educated on proper placenta encapsulation preparation. 

Leave any questions for me in the comments!

Sorry. I have captions on but it’s seems to not be working.

 A UNLV survey had similar reports; you can find the survey information below.

A very small portion of clients report (about 1%) experiencing negative effects with encapsulation including headaches and mood swings. Usually a usage adjustment fixes that.

An oldie but goodie: Sigh. A client was misinform An oldie but goodie:

Sigh. A client was misinformed by an OB that she could not encapsulate due to meconium.  This is untrue.  This is not based on fact or research. 

A matter of fact is that research suggests it IS safe to encapsulate if there is meconium.

Johnson, S.K., Pastuschek, J., Benyshek, D.C. et al. Impact of tissue processing on microbiological colonization in the context of placentophagy. Sci Rep 12, 5307 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-09243-4

IS PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION SAFE? For most instance IS PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION SAFE?

For most instances, the answer is YES. 

According to research proper preparation of placenta tissue for encapsulation reduces bacteria to food-safe levels set by the European Union. That includes Group B Strep. 

Johnson SK, Groten T, Pastuschek J, Rödel J, Sammer U, Markert UR. Human placentophagy: Effects of dehydration and steaming on hormones, metals and bacteria in placental tissue. Placenta. 2018 Jul;67:8-14. doi: 10.1016/j.placenta.2018.05.006. Epub 2018 May 16. PubMed PMID: 29941176.

However, there are some instances where you should avoid encapsulation. You should not encapsulate if you have Lyme Disease, you should not encapsulate if Chorioamnionitis is suspected or if you have any active infections with some exceptions. 

It is OKAY to encapsulate if you are having a c-section that is not due to infection.  It is OKAY to encapsulate if there was meconium present. It is OKAY to encapsulate if you are GBS positive without an active infection.

It’s never too late to encapsulate!
Placentophagy was not associated with any adverse Placentophagy was not associated with any adverse neonatal outcomes according to research done by Oregon State University and UNLV.

Benyshek DC, Cheyney M, Brown J, Bovbjerg ML. Placentophagy among women planning community births in the United States: Frequency, rationale, and associated neonatal outcomes. Birth. 2018 Dec;45(4):459-468. doi: 10.1111/birt.12354. Epub 2018 May 2. PubMed PMID: 29722066.

Placenta encapsulation when done properly is safe.  If your care provider tells you otherwise please share with them this study. I have no doubt that if your provider tells you this it is because they are concerned. However, the truth is most providers have not researched encapsulation themselves and are not kept up to date on the latest research.

Here is another piece of research that I love:
