Dr. Sophia Johnson and biologist Jana Pastuschek have written a scientific book about the fascinating organ of pregnancy. They have analyzed hormones, trace elements and microorganisms in the human placenta to find answers to the question: Is encapsulated placenta the "miracle pill" for the postpartum period?
In this book, the authors present their latest research findings from the placenta lab at Jena University hospital. They give an entertaining and easy-to-understand introduction to the placenta universe and provide medical, historical and curious facts. They discuss placentophagy (placenta consumption) in detail including practical tips and recipe suggestions, from placenta capsules to smoothies. The book is supplemented by field reports from women who have used their placenta as a remedy to recover after childbirth.
