Q: Does anyone know if placenta encapsulation is done in Guangzhou and where?
I am interested in interviewing birth workers in China; doulas, midwives, and/or placenta encapsulators. If you have any information, please email me.
Thank you

That concept is just witchcraft. Cats will eat placenta instinctvely, but they won't leave the litter for days and in the wild would have go hungry other wise. Any nutritional value would be reduced by processing, probably no different than eating liver. There is no research that substantiates any human benefits. I've also seen cats eat their kittens. Why not give that a try. More Chinese traditional medicine. Give it a try, can't hurt, but try it raw.
