Can a pregnant woman eat the placenta left after childbirth? What are the benefits for the body?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello! In traditional Chinese medicine, the placenta is also known as "zi he che" (Purple River Horse), referring to the placenta of healthy human mothers. It has the functions of invigorating qi, nourishing blood, tonifying the kidneys, and enriching essence. Clinically, it is used to treat conditions such as consumptive debility and emaciation, chronic asthma and cough, qi deficiency and weakness, blood deficiency with sallow complexion, impotence and premature ejaculation, and infertility with insufficient milk production.
