Find out why the placenta ranges from being called The Tree of Life, The 8th Chakra, Guardian Angel, and Postpartum Superfood to being a secret ingredient in common beauty-care products, to being treated as medical waste and routinely incinerated in hospitals. 

Placentas are magical and sentient guides to humanity.  Every human on earth was nourished by a placenta. Yet most people have never learned about the roles this amazing being plays in our lives!
