Celebrities like Kim and Kourtney Kardashian have said they cook and eat their placenta, so this might not be surprising.
It is often said women could dry it (the placenta) and put it in pills.
It could be stir-fried with onions or even eaten raw in the delivery room.
OMG. Damn this but…don’t faint!
The act of eating the placenta after a woman gives birth is called placentophagy.
It isn’t just something animals do.
Human moms do it, too, including tribal women and glamorous celebrities.
Some reports say people who support eating the placenta as that it could raise a woman’s energy and breast milk quantity.

Other reports also say it can level off a woman’s hormones, lowering her chances of postpartum depression and insomnia.
Those claims have not been fully tested though, so there is no proof that eating your placenta as a woman actually does these things.
Besides, the placenta does have protein and fats, oh Gosh, how can I?
Anyway, the reason for this chronicle…

“So I’m in the dehydrating stage now of my first placenta.

“Stay tuned for more photos,” she added.
