How to deal with the placenta of a newborn

The placenta is an important transitional organ for women during pregnancy. After the baby is born, the placenta will fall out with the baby and no longer needs to stay in the woman's body. However, if you go to a regular hospital to give birth, most doctors will return the placenta to the pregnant woman. These pregnant women don't know how to deal with their placenta, so how should they deal with the placenta?

What exactly does the placenta do?

1. The placenta contains rich and efficient nutrients

It can be used to manufacture important biological products such as placental serum protein, placental globulin, etc. to rescue patients.

Dried placenta, known as Ziheche in traditional Chinese medicine, is a well-known tonic medicine.

If it is a caesarean section, apply it after the wound heals to reduce scars. It can also be used on any healed scars to reduce scars.

Adding it to lotion is better than any high-end cosmetics.

Added to broth, especially in the days after delivery, it is an excellent tonic.

2. Preventing postpartum depression

Studies have shown that changes in placental hormones after delivery may be one of the causes of postpartum depression. Many people in European and American countries eat the placenta after giving birth.

Because they know that the placenta is rich in nutrients and hormones, for pregnant women who have lost a lot of estrogen after giving birth, eating their own placenta can improve vitality, secrete nutritious breast milk, and prevent postpartum depression.

People who are afraid to eat the placenta directly will choose to dehydrate the placenta, grind it into powder and make capsules to swallow.

3. Umbilical cord blood can be stored to treat children

If the child unfortunately suffers from intractable diseases such as leukemia or aplastic anemia in the future, umbilical cord blood can be used to treat the child.

4. 5 ways to deal with the placenta

1. Hospital treatment

Generally, after the child is born, the doctor will hand over the placenta to the family after taking care of the mother's condition, unless the doctor handles it himself after obtaining the family's consent. If the expectant mother suffers from hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or AIDS, the placenta should be handed over to the hospital for disposal. It must be destroyed compulsorily to avoid it falling into the shopping mall and causing danger.

2. Processing and consumption

Modern medical research has found that the placenta has significant therapeutic effects on the treatment of uterine hypoplasia, uterine atrophy, uterine myositis, functional impairment, amenorrhea, uterine bleeding, and milk deficiency.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that placenta (placenta) is a good medicine for replenishing both qi and blood. It has the effects of replenishing kidney yang, kidney essence, and lung qi. It can promote the development of the breast, uterus, vagina, and testicles, and also has a promoting effect on the thyroid gland.

In addition, not all placentas of pregnant women can be used for medicinal or edible purposes. The placenta of sick women, moldy placenta, and unclean placenta are not edible.

3. Buried under a tree

You can plant a small tree in the yard, bury the placenta under the tree, let the placenta turn into nutrients, and watch the baby and the tree grow together. This method has a sense of life cycle and endless renewal.

It should be noted that the placenta must be buried deeper, because the placenta will decompose in the process of being converted into nutrients, and it can prevent erosion by small carnivorous animals.

4. Make it into a work of art

There are countless blood vessels and capillaries on the placenta, which looks like a lush tree on paper, with a main trunk, branches, and twigs densely packed. The mother's nutrients are carried by the blood and supplied to the baby through these densely packed life supply lines.

There are special artists who provide this service. After the placenta is delivered, it is traced on special paper and the imprint is developed into a painting that can be preserved permanently.

5. Make into powder

The placenta is processed into powder, paste or oil and placed in a special bottle as a memory of the joy when the baby was born.
