Placenta What? Encapsulation?

A few weeks before Breccan was born (nearly a year ago), I learned about Placenta Encapsulation. I was pretty grossed out and dismissed it as something 'other people' do. I wouldn't judge someone who did it and I don't necessarily think it's good or back, but I just didn't think it was for me. Here I am a year later and I have become a much "crunchier" parent and somehow I now know more "crunchy" parents who have said things like: I did it and I'd do it again It's totally awesome I'm a doula and I offer encapsulation services to my clients So the wheels are turning once again. Is Placenta Encapsulation a fantastic natural option to help with fatigue and reduce the chances of  postpartum depression?

Product Review and GIVEAWAY - for Prenatal Oxylent

My thoughts: Well...the easiest way to do this review is to talk about pros and cons: Pros: Easier to take than some prenatals - no fishy taste Does seem to help with nauseau and morning sickness Has some fabulous research to back up the vitamin content of the product Cons: I really didn't like the taste...but it could be because I really dislike raspberry flavored anything I would recommend this product to others because I truly think my only aversion is just a "me thing" and has nothing to do with the product.

TheraRelief Review

It is with a sad heart I give a negative review to TheraRelief...I was super excited to try this product and it really doesn't have a smell and isn't greasy so I was totally on board from the beginning. Unfortunately it gave no relief to my sore neck. I even had my husband try it on his sore shoulder and then his ankle. Still nothing...I thought we were doing something wrong because I've tried other TheraVita products and been absolutely in love with them. Unfortunately, this is not the product for me. If you do try it and have amazing results, I'd love to hear about them because I really do believe in this company and want them to do well. I'm hoping I'm the exception to the rule. PRODUCT url: http://www.amazon.com/pain-relief-cream-alternative-guaranteed/dp/b00h5wixka Hashtag: #theravita I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com . Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe wil...
