Its an organ from your own body. In my eyes it kinda seems like a weird form of cannibalism.

I have a couple of friends who are doulas, they will encapsulate the placenta (dry it, pulverize it into powder, then put it in medicine capsules) for clients who want it done. They say it has tons of health benefits and it's just like taking any other pill just better for you. Not sure what the cost is... that might be a preventing factor for me but I haven't looked into it too closely yet.

I personally always said I wanted to try it because I learned about it at a young age and was told the benefits but as I get older and stray away from the culture I don't think I will

I surely wouldn't want to personally try it unless it in tbe tablet form lol yet iam still thinking about it. As well as some other benefits from delay cord clamping.there are a couple things people are doing now a days its up to you to see if you are truelly capable of doing it :) tablet form doesn't seem so bad.
