This is an alternative to calcium supplements.
Pregnant women need to take up to 1000mg of calcium per day. Here’s a natural, lactose-free, vegan method to ensure you are getting enough calcium.

My favourite method of preparing a placenta
NB. Eat raw salad before to help your body absorb the nutrients better!)
Fry onion, garlic & chilli till brown in olive oil
Remove from pan (oil now flavoured) Heat pan hotter>br/>
Flash fry placenta for 1 minute each side (leaving raw hormone in the middle)
Turn down heat
Add onions, garlic, chilli
Stir & season, eat ASAP!
Basically it’s the thing that your body has made from itself and the food that you have eaten to provide for your baby while it is inside you!
Once your baby is born your whole perspective changes!
NOW the placenta is the natural way to increase the iron & nutrient levels in your body which were depleted by making your baby! It is also the natural way to ensure that you do not suffer unduly with post natal depression!
“Throw it away! It’s disgusting!”
(Don’t be so soft!)
“Let’s bury it under a tree!”
…..
Bury the membrane & the cord, eat the squishy bits!
It is the best meal a post birthing woman can eat within the first 36 hours of birth! It’s also the only vegan-friendly flesh! No death occurred in its making!
Remember dads could and the extended family could eat some too!“I felt rocket powered!” LARA
“Tastes good! Not as bad as I expected!” ISOBEL
“After a beautiful natural birth, seemed like the natural thing to do!” PHIL
“The delicious, nutritious snack you can eat between babies without ruining your appetite!” GEOFF
As part of my doula service I offer to cook your placenta for you in a variety of ways and I’m always open to new ideas!
I can also create medicine for you from your placenta. I can dry and encapsulate it for you, and also create mother essence and homeopathic remedies.
This is an alternative to iron supplements. Drink daily for iron maintenance. Eat extra lemons & spinach (for vitamin c & folic acid) for persistent anaemia.
