People who know me know that I am not up on most holistic practices. I am routinely informed of healthy practices, holistic cures, or naturopathic remedies that have been around for centuries and proven beneficial to thousands of individuals. I am not opposed to holistic medicine; I am mainly ignorant of it.
My ignorance lead to a shocking discovery a while back as a sister from church explained the practice of placentophagy to me. For the record, this sister was not advocating the practice, she was merely informing me of it. For those who are unaware of placentophagy, the name is somewhat self-explanatory. Placentophagy is the practice of a mother eating the placenta or afterbirth of her child to benefit from the iron, vitamins B6 and B12, as well as the estrogen and progesterone it contains.
