I know I am absolutely keeping my placenta. When everyone asks me why and what I would do with it, I have told them I'll be burying it (which my mum loves the idea of much to my surprise). But in truth I do want to eat it, not all of it, because I do want to bury it too, but I have read about so many benefits of eating it that I would like to try it. What I know for sure, is I want to treat it with respect and somehow thank it for aiding me in giving my baby nourishment and oxygen for these months.

So, I just thought easy way is to freeze it, cut it up into small pieces and then have the small pieces like tablets. But I've been reading up on it, and there is another method which involves drying it out and grinding it up and making capsules (known as 'encapsulation'). Has anyone done this? I've found heaps of information on the health benefits etc on doing it, and basic steps like, 1 dry it out, 2 grind it up, 3 put it in a capsule, even found kits to buy to help with the capsule making process, but I'm struggling to find specific step by step details on how to actuallly dry it out and grind it etc...

so if anyone has done this would be great to chat. Would also be great to talk to like minded people who dont gag when I tell them what I want to do, because so far I haven't found 1 single person (irl) who also has an interest in keeping their placenta, let alone ever talked to someone who has eaten it.

TIA
