If the placenta is not fresh, the ability to create a tincture is dependent on certain criteria (e.g. was the placenta handled in accordance with food safety handling guidelines post-birth? I.e. refrigerated within 2hrs of birth & frozen within 48hrs? Were there any signs of infection? How long ago was the birth? Etc) I also assess the placenta when I receive it. I have created placenta ashes and a keepsake for a Mumma whose daughters placenta had been sitting in the freezer for 7 years. It was perfectly fine and this Mumma then went on to use the ashes to make some keep sake jewellery and perform a beautiful burial ceremony.
What is a placenta tincture? This is the method of preserving & steeping a piece of placenta (or dried placenta if it is chosen after encapsulation has occurred) in distilled alcohol over several weeks, after which it is strained & ingested, usually by drops directly on the tongue or into a glass of water. It is said to benefit mothers during times of stress & transition. This has an indefinite shelf life & can be saved to use during weaning if breastfeeding, or even menopause. TINCTURES SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN DURING PREGNANCY. Tinctures can also be turned into essences & homeopathic remedies by homeopaths. These heal on vibrational & energetic levels. According to placentaremediesnetwork.org “making a homeopathic placenta remedy can be used as your child’s constitutional remedy for life since it was their life-giving source for their time in-utero. It contains the blueprint of his/her energetic make-up & hence, the amazing ability to bring balance & illicit healing from within when illness, disease, emotional challenges, or difficult life transitions arise.”
