What to do with a placenta?

Hey ladies! I was just wondering have you guys thought of making your placenta in to a pill form to take, I heard it's good to help prevent postpartum depression and with breastmilk production, have you thought of this or do you know someone who's done this and what their experience has been like. I would appreciate any kind of information! Thanks Maggie:-)

I am having my placenta encapsulated! There are so many benefits.  Help with prevention of postpartum depression, help increase milk production, increases energy, you can save them and use them for your  menstrual cycle and they will help reduce cramps, and you can even freeze them and save them for  menopause and they can be taken as a natural hormone replacement.

I personally haven't heard and couldn't do it. I know a friend considered a placenta print (don't remember the name for it) but not sure if she went through with it. The print kinda looks like a tree on the print. Good luck on your research!
