Over 80% of new mothers suffer from mood instability, also callled "baby blues" starting in the first week after giving birth.  Since the hormonal fluctuations eventually regulate themselves, no treatment is given.  Women are left to cope on their own, often losing the first precious weeks with their newborn baby to an emotional rollercoater and exhaustion.  In 10-20% of women this goes on to become postpartum depression, which can be very serious. 

Birth recovery does not have to be so difficult.  I believe that Nature intended women to begin their mothering journey balanced, rested, and joyful.  Placenta capsules are an easy way to restore what is lost during pregnancy and birth.  The placenta contains a woman's own natural hormones, as well as iron, protein, and other nutrients, providing the means to replenish and nourish her body.  Women who take placenta capsules report fewer emotional issues, have more energy, and tend to enjoy a faster, more pleasant postpartum recovery.  Placenta has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries to treat lactation and fatigue.  Research has found that placenta does significantly increase a woman's milk production, and affects a variety of chemicals in the brain.
